Cat's Eye is an uneven, tepid trilogy of stories written by
Stephen King connected by a cat which appears at the beginning of each story. The best story, and first episode, concerns chain-smoker Morrison (
James Woods) who joins a stop-smoking group run by sadistic Dr. Monatti, played with great relish by
Alan King. In the second episode, a gambler named Cressner (
Kenneth McMillan) makes a bet with his wife's lover. In the third episode, a young girl (
Drew Barrymore) is terrorized by a tiny troll. Although he wrote the screenplay,
Stephen King was disappointed with the results and thought the interconnection of the stories using the cat clumsy and distracting. Directer
Lewis Teague does an average job of directing the confusing and sometimes foolish script. However,
James Woods' fine performance and the special effects by
Jeff Jarvis make the film worth a view.
