Filipe Neto In this film, based on short stories by Stephen King, three stories intertwine through the same cat. The idea seems good and, in fact, its an interesting way to bring to the cinema stories that, alone, don't justify a feature length. The big problem with the film is that it doesn't immediately make clear that we're seeing a black humor movie. The public fills the theater expecting a horror film or a thriller and leaves very disappointed. It's one of those cases where they expects one thing and the movie is something different. Its the fault of the public? Partly yes. But let us go on. The film is divided into three parts but the cat has increased protagonism in the last. James Woods and Drew Barrymore (still making adorable child roles) are the most notorious actors, playing quite satisfactorily. You can never clearly tell what force pushes the cat through the film until find the girl and that is the biggest flaw in the movie for me. The film never scares us but it has a number of rather comical scenes that can impress the most sensitive people, given the kind of humor presented.
encyes One of the more famous anthologies and Stephen King movies, this is well-known primarily for its appearances by a young James Woods and an even younger Drew Barrymore. With a screenplay by King, it hosts three decent stories, all linked together by a rogue but supernatural cat, a sort of feline protector. Most notably of the three tales is the first: "Quitters, Inc." which has the best ending this side of a Rod Serling Twilight Zone episode. This is a fun movie. King's other movies ("Cujo", "Christine"), are sprinkled in as cameos, many which will leave you giggling along with King's playful nods to himself ("I don't know who writes this crap" as James Woods watches "The Dead Zone"), ("St Stephen's School for the Exceptionally Gifted"). It's better than I expected and better than a majority of horror anthologies out there especially for the time period. The effects - primary used for the third and final episode which has a more mystical spin on it than the previous two - are pretty good considering its the 1980s. The stories are simplistic, creative and effective. If you can sit back and deal with the 80s music and culture (does anyone remember the cassette tape?) you'll have a good time with this well filmed feature.
OllieSuave-007 The Cat's Eye is an analogy of three stories of suspense and horror that are all linked to a stray cat.The first two stories deal mostly with mad doctors and criminals, with the cat only loosely connected to the people involved in the tales. However, the cat takes on a larger role in the third story, which stars Drew Barrymore playing a young girl being endangered by a menacing troll.This film is not terribly horrific or frightening, but there are some suspenseful, edgy and creepy moments - especially like the part where Robert Hays' character is forced to walk on a high ledge around a building. Mixed in are some dark humor and lighthearted moments, and some funny acting.Not the greatest horror movie out there, but it's still rather entertaining.Grade B-
atinder I really liked the opening scenes , where the cats is been chased by the dog, which is a reference to Cufo, and they Cristina the evil red car.The first story,QuittersI didn't like this story , I could not watch the cat getting electric shocks.For me that story was hard to watch , I skip the rest of that story.The ledge I liked this story better , as some decent tense, as I am scared of height also liked how the the story came to a end.Then cats ends up in family home, the mothers is not happy but there some kind of small monster in the girl room. The cats saves the night.I thought it was okay story .This was a mix bag
