Three short stories linked by a stray cat that roams from one tale to the next, in this creepy triptych that begins as Dick tries to quit smoking by any means necessary. Next, we meet Johnny, an adulterous man who's forced by his lover's husband onto a building's hazardous ledge. Finally, Amanda is threatened by an evil gnome who throws suspicion on the family cat.

Nice effects though.

Beautiful, moving film.

Hadrina

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Most of the reviews I have read about this trio of Stephen King short stories have tended to be mostly negative. It is true that none of the stories really do full justice to the original writing but this is still a worthy effort. Everything that occurs is observed by this catwho is looking for a child whom he is meant to protect. The first story, titled "Quitters Inc," concerns a New York businessman who is put in touch with this rather mysterious clinic who could help him to stop smoking. The methods that are employed leave the man somewhat stunned answer unnerved. James Woods usually played tough characters but here he is cast against type and does well. The ending is abrupt and seems unfinished. Next, the cat travels to a city which resembles Las Vegas. A crime boss makes a better with his wife's lover that he can't make his way to another side of this skyscraper via the ledge and it's 43 floors up! This story is the best in my opinion as there are some fine moments of suspense. Finally, the cat finds the child in question (Drew Barrymore) and is adapted by her family. The cat proves that he is loyal by fending off this demon which frightens the child in the middle of the night and on a few occasions. Not a bad film but some rather cheesy special effects which aren't very convincing.

Omnibus of three stories by Stephen King, weirdly connected together by a cat. King wrote screenplay for the movie. First two parts are adaptations of his earlier short stories, while third is original story written for the movie. First two stories are realistic, one dark humorous and other very tense, while third reminds a bit of Gremlins. James Woods and Alan King play great roles in first story, while star of the third one is once again ten years old Drew Barrymore, who plays leading role in King's previous movie. Underrated gem of 80's and one of the best King adaptations I saw so far.9/10

Strange things happen when this cat appears - like an omen or forewarning of bad things to come - and all this cat wants do is get to the little girl he is wanting to help. The cat leads us to three bizarre tales of horror.The movie is funny (a comedy horror) but the one short story that stands out to me as being the most seriously terrifying is "The Ledge". I am very much afraid of heights so this particular segment had chills going up and down my spine - creepy as all heck.If you like short horror stories then you might like Cat's Eye. Other similar movies with short horror tales that are also good: 'Trilogy of Terror', 'Gallery of Horror', 'Creepshow' and 'Tales from the Darkside'.6.5/10

While Cat's Eye is by no means a good movie it still manages to be entertaining. I wish to god they'd stop using that horrible actress Drew Barrymore in things though. Cat's Eye is three of horror novelist Stephen King's short stories, the first being about a man who signs up to quit smoking with no idea that the mafia is running the quitting business, the second being a man stuck in a bet for his life with a psychopath sadistically using him and the third story is the little girl who is in danger and the cat tries to save her from an evil troll-lie creature that wants to kill her in the night.Cat's eye is more a silly adventure than much else. It has its comedic moments, my favorite being when the cat escapes the smoking rehab center and the mob guy says, "oh fiddlysticks!" right loud, and the scene where the man is at a party at home and he begins to envision bizarre hallucinations involving cigarettes. The acting was okay but Drew Barrymore was just annoying, and the soundtrack was great. The cat was pretty cute. Also if you're a Stephen King fan you might notice in the beginning credits the Christine car and the Cujo dog chasing the cat. It's just an entertaining but weird little movie that's kind of fun to watch and passes the time.
