pkpera Luckily, it started well. otherwise, I'm not sure that I would watch it if first part was like 3rd. Of course, all parts were surreal, but 3rd was too much of it, and acting did not help. Considering title, I expected more subjective camera - from cat's eye - of course ! There was very little of it, even when that would make it fun, and could see better the situation. So, directing was not that good, I could say. Acting was best in first part, not bad in second. I really don't get those calling this masterpiece. Uneven, too surreal at some parts, even for Twilight Zone. Could be more inventive with cat escapes - it was always same - and too simple. Rate: 6 - for best actor uncredited cat, then James Woods.
Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Stephen King is known for his horror stories. But he can also produce dark humor in his stories as well. We have characters from his past films: "Cujo" and "Christine". What were they doing on the East Coast? But it wasn't a story about them. They were just cameos. The story all revolves around a cat. After it gets away from that vicious St. Bernard, it goes from Wilmington, NC to New York. It's first encounter involved a man (James Woods) trying to quit smoking. The cat was used as a guinea pig for shock treatment. "Quitters, Inc." was a very effective but controversial quitting treatment place. They get people to quit smoking, but they go through extremes with it. His tempting urge to smoke comes around, and he is watched. Even though they forgive him for that slip up,the results are effective. The result is for you to find out next. Then there's "The Ledge". This one was very silly and unentertaining. The result of that one fell a little flat for me. Then the last one focused on the cat. He is named "General" by Amanda(Drew Barrymore). Her mother protests his presence. The main reason is the parakeet, Polly. That night, a malevolent troll appears in Amanda's room. Kills Polly, and stabs General since he couldn't outwit him. Wrongfully blamed for Polly's death, the mother sends it to the shelter to be put down. But the father wasn't positive about General doing such a deed. When the troll returns, General escaped and races back to the house to save Amanda, and stop the creature. The parents were able to break open the door after General sends the troll to its death by box fan. The little girl let's her mom know that General is a hero. Both parents were in disbelief after they see the mangled pieces of the malevolent creature. The father asked if he had any friends. The reward for General was a fish on a silver platter. Some good parts, some silly parts, it was a fun movie to watch. At the end, I think it was touching. General did replace Polly, that's a lot of heart. I think it is perfect for Stephen King fans. And it's a great rainy day movie as well. A keeper it is. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
Smoreni Zmaj Omnibus of three stories by Stephen King, weirdly connected together by a cat. King wrote screenplay for the movie. First two parts are adaptations of his earlier short stories, while third is original story written for the movie. First two stories are realistic, one dark humorous and other very tense, while third reminds a bit of Gremlins. James Woods and Alan King play great roles in first story, while star of the third one is once again ten years old Drew Barrymore, who plays leading role in King's previous movie. Underrated gem of 80's and one of the best King adaptations I saw so far.9/10
Rainey Dawn Strange things happen when this cat appears - like an omen or forewarning of bad things to come - and all this cat wants do is get to the little girl he is wanting to help. The cat leads us to three bizarre tales of horror.The movie is funny (a comedy horror) but the one short story that stands out to me as being the most seriously terrifying is "The Ledge". I am very much afraid of heights so this particular segment had chills going up and down my spine - creepy as all heck.If you like short horror stories then you might like Cat's Eye. Other similar movies with short horror tales that are also good: 'Trilogy of Terror', 'Gallery of Horror', 'Creepshow' and 'Tales from the Darkside'.6.5/10
