Stephen King's – Cat's Eye
A wandering supernatural feline's adventures provide the linking story for
Stephen King's Cat's Eye, a dead on trilogy scripted by King and directed by
Lewis Teague (Cujo). The staff at Quitters Inc promises to help nicotine fiend
Dick Morrison (James Woods) kick the habit. If not, someone in
Morrison's household might get smoked… because QI is run by a very
persuasive mob family. Next, a luckless gambler (Robert Hayes) is forced into a
bet involving a stroll around a building – on the five-inch ledge encircling
the 30th floor. Finally, our wayfarer kitty rescues a schoolgirl (young Drew
Barrymore) from a vile, doll-sized troll.
Fan of the works of Stephen King will have fun finding the many references to
his other projects throughout the film.

Critic Reviews:
- “Stephen 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.” – Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
- “Even though the mix contains lumps, Cat's Eye is the best screen adaptation of any King work since Brian De Palma's Carrie” – New York Times
- “Rather than serving as distractions, the self-referential shout-outs fit the overall mix of horror and humor.” – Creative Loafing
