Stephen King's Cat's Eye

DVD

A CHILLING COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES FROM THE MASTER OF MODERN HORROR!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 Jewel of the Nile). First up: 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 comes a cliffhanger. Or a ledge hanger. Either way, a luckless gambler (Robert Hays) is forced into a bet involving a stroll around the 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. Fans of the works of Stephen King will have fun finding the many references to his other projects throughout the film.

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 "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...
