Entertaining Black Humor
A trilogy of entertaining black humor. The first story is the strongest with the best stars. Alan King is deliciously evil as the head of Quitters, Inc., an anti-smoking group that uses mob tactics to stop its members from smoking. James Woods is excellent as Alan King’s newest client.

The middle story is somewhat weaker entry starring Kenneth McMillan as a mobster who makes a lethal bet with Robert Hays after Hays steals his wife from him. A good story but not as good as the first.

The last story is the weakest entry of the three. An evil troll is out to steal Drew Barrymore’s breath in this silly story. Our title cat tries to prevent that. The special effects for the troll doll are pretty good and the ending is funny. All-in-all an entertaining entry in the Stephen King collection of movies. A C+/B-

Who let the cat out? Meow!
“Cat’s Eye” is a (horror) anthology that I deliberately avoided for nearly twenty years, ever since I’m a horror fan in fact, because I always intuitively assumed I wouldn’t like it. Obviously this isn’t the right attitude to start watching a movie, but even from my most objective point of view imaginable, I still can’t refer to this as a successful film. “Cat’s Eye” is practically a one-man Stephen King show. Not only did he wrote the screenplay, with the adaptations of two previously published stories and one written directly for the screen, the film is also stuffed with obvious and not-so-obvious little references towards his other work. During the first opening minutes already, there are unsubtle winks towards “Cujo”, “Christine” and “The Dead Zone”. This might be interesting trivia for King-geeks to spot, but for people who think his work is over-hyped (like yours truly) it comes across as rather obnoxious. The three separate segments themselves are very lightweight and I’m having actually having a bit of trouble labeling “Cat’s Eye” as a horror film. The first two stories are mildly enjoyable but very absurd, balancing on the verge of preposterous even, and the third one is downright childish. The cooler-than-cool James Woods saves the first segment, with his wondrous performance as a businessman who seeks the help of a curious company to quit smoking. The success rate of Quitters Inc. is incredibly, but that’s because they indulge in extreme measures, like corporal punishment of the smoker’s relatives. It’s my favorite story of the film, thanks to James Woods and a pretty damn brilliant sequence where he’s at a party, surrounded by extreme smokers but sensing the surveillance of Quitters Inc. The scene is terrific, thanks to the paranoia in James Woods’ eyes and the use of The Police’s classic song “Every Breath You Take”. Story number two is entitled “The Ledge” and has a reasonably interesting premise as well. An eccentric, gambling-addicted millionaire discovers that his wife is having an affair with a washed-up tennis athlete. He challenges his foe to a dangerous bet, a walk around the narrow ledge of his penthouse apartment, but obviously doesn’t play fair. There’s some suspense and effective black comedy in this segment, but it’s nevertheless unmemorable and silly. The third and final story is actually derivative of both “Gremlins” and the famous Zuni-doll episode in “Trilogy of Terror”. 10-year-old Amanda suffers from the presence of a mini- monstrous jester (!) that lives inside the walls of her bedroom and attempts to steal her breath at night. Mommy doesn’t believer her, but luckily enough Amanda receives protection from a stray cat. By the way, the cat is what connects the three stories as a whole. When astray in the streets of NY, the animal receives Amanda’s cry for help. She immediately heads out to North Caroline, but gets forced to make a couple of unwanted stops at Quitters Inc. and in the millionaire’s penthouse in New Jersey. Lewis Teague’s direction is decent enough, but I guess that only Stephen King had fun making this movie. “Cat’s Eye” rapidly gets dull and it’s almost entirely scare-free. Fans of blood and make-up effects will be even more disappointed.
