Three horror-thriller tales revolve around a mysterious stray cat which is attempting to find a little girl in trouble. In "Quitters, Inc.": the cat is picked up by a shady New York City "doctor" who uses experimental techniques to get people to quit smoking. His latest client is a man named Morrison, who learns he'll suffer some terrible consequences if he tries to cheat. In "The Ledge": the cat is picked up by Cressner, a shady Atlantic City millionaire who forces tennis pro Norris (his wife's lover), to walk a narrow ledge around his high-rise penthouse apartment. In "The General": the cat arrives in Wilmington, North Carolina, where it is found by Amanda, the young girl it has been sent to protect. What she needs protection from is a tiny, evil troll who lives behind the skirting board in her bedroom.
Leave your thoughts about Cat's Eye.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottCat's Eye is pop movie making of an extremely clever, stylish and satisfying order. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasBecause of King's phenomenal popularity as a master of the comically macabre, executive producer Dino De Laurentiis has stinted on nothing to bring these tales alive. This means that the special effects are impeccable and Giorgio Postiglione's production design meticulous and inspired. Yet it's the well-drawn characters, plus the brisk, stylish direction of Teague and superb camerawork of Cardiff, that make it work. |
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerDespite a few nasty bits of violence, Cat’s Eye almost plays like an intro to King for younger viewers ready for some shocks but not yet prepared for full-on nightmares. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertStephen King seems to be working his way through the reference books of human phobias, and Cat's Eye is one of his most effective films. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaA terceira história é também a pior, o que é lamentável, já que conclui o filme de forma decepcionante depois de duas narrativas interessantes, tensas e divertidas. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioThis jokey horror movie, adapted in part from King's short stories, is composed of three brief tales, the perfect form for him. Instead of having to create characters and a story, King simply has to come up with a gimmick and a punch line -- and on to the next. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenIn each instance, the limp pay-off undercuts strong performances (manic Woods and sympathetic Drew especially), and the usual caveats about cumulatively unsatisfying portmanteau pictures certainly apply. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It's the anthology film I wish "Twilight Zone: The Movie" could have been. |
| User ReviewLisa SAnother multiple story movie like Creepshow or Twilight Zone, but from Stephen King, so it's pretty good. I enjoyed it. |
| User Review~ SlyKatt ~ HA lost cat , a hidden troll , & a little girl with no friends? My daughter loved this movie. She rated this 5 stars! |
