Stephen King's Cat's Eye (BD)]]> Review: One of my favorite Stephen King films - So well-acted! And with a thrilling climax where a hero cat saves the day. Cats really ARE this smart, and parents really CAN BE this stupid. Drew Barrymore gets saved from the evil troll because her clairvoyant cat, General, outsmarts both her parents and the troll. I really like it, too, because the father is sympathetic and the mother is downright evil in her attitude towards General, the Hero Cat. But she turns out okay in the end. I am so glad the film did not make this a good mom--bad-dad film. The father is actually sympathetic to his daughter and her love and trust for her cat. The first two segments are stories in themselves and have to been watched to appreciate the cat's long struggle to get back down the east coast to the girl he has to save. Always a great show. Review: My favorite Stephen King film - Easily without question my all time favorite Stephen King film. It centers around a cat who's involved in each of Stephen king's tales for the film. The beginning sets the tone where the cat is walking along minding his business. Then all of a sudden, a St. Bernard rabid dog (Cujo) chases the cat. After almost getting hit running across the street by a Red Plymouth (Christine), the cat eventually eludes the dog ending up in New York City after boarding the back of a truck. The 1st tale is about a man (James Woods) who loves cigarettes but is willing to do whatever it takes to stop. He joins a place recommended by a friend simply known as Quitters Inc. Or more like consequences and repercussions if you don't do what we say. Very sick and twisted plot guaranteed to make any smoker quit immediately. Then after escaping yet again, our cat finds himself in Atlantic City, New Jersey where a man who loves to gamble becomes obsessed with torturing a gentleman he finds out has been sleeping with his wife. The gambler has had the guy kidnapped and framed for having drugs in his car ready to do serious prison time unless he can walk all the way around the hotel building ledge without falling off. Once again, the cat finds a way to escape but not without being a hero aiding the gentleman at harm and the tables turn from there. Finally, the cat makes his very last arrival which is well overdue in Wilmington, North Carolina where he aides Drew Barrymore throughout the night. Throughout each city the cat goes to before arriving at Drew's, he keeps seeing images of her telling him that something is coming for her and he's her only hope for survival. Well, we eventually see why his arrival was so important. A monsterous troll finds its way into the house and vows to take her breath away throughout the night while she's attempting to sleep. That is until General (the name the cat is now given by Barrymore) steps in and changes things for the better. My favorite King film because of the simplicity and originality. A must see for any Stephen King fan that will not disappoint.

A true classic from the 1980's
What a great classic movie. I grew up watching this in the 80's. So much clearer then I remember. I got the Blu-ray version. Definite must have.

Still good after all these years
My lady and my daughter and myself all sat down to watch this. I had seen it previously and suggested it to them. They both were watching it for the first time. They got a lot of giggles out of all the old technology and things they saw in the movie. Was also nice that it was a compilation of short stories, we had a good time pausing between each short story and talking about it. The last story was there absolute favorite.

Tres historias historias bizarras donde el eje es un gato que tiene la misión de encontrar a una niña (Drew Barrymore) antes de que otra maléfica criatura lo haga. En su camino, el felino se topará con la historia de un hombre que se somete a un tratamiento bastante radical para dejar de fumar y con una historia de infidelidad donde apuestas sádicas tienen consecuencias funestas para los involucrados, la tercera historia se centra de lleno en la misión del gato. El Blu-ray se ve bastante bien, tanto en las escenas de día como de noche hay buena claridad. El audio viene en inglés y en español latino, tal como muchos lo escuchamos en las transmisiones por televisión, aunque no se me hizo justo que lo tradujeran como "El felino del diablo" ya que el felino dista mucho de ser un villano, probablemente los traductores tenían una animadversión a los gatos. De extras incluye el trailer cinematográfico y un audio comentario por el director. Vale la pena esta edición.

I'd class this classic as an american-style version of a cross between 'the twilight zone' and a hammer/vipco/amicus style thriller. Released in 1984, when 'horror/anthology stories'...especially U.S. ones, for me personally was in its prime. When i first saw this as a 7yr-old, i was drawn to it immediately. As a cat lover for starters, stephen king interlinks 3 stories of people from different backgrounds. Robert Hays-aka (Airplane's), James Woods, and Drew Barrymore, who looks like she's just walked from the E.T. set to Cat's Eye set lol... Each story features in key parts a very clever striped-bengal cat, that either makes sure the baddies get their just desserts, or helps save your life, albeit from gangsters or 5inch demons living in a childs scurting-board in her bedroom trying to steel their souls via their breath. A great film, full of nostalgia from that era, one to never tire of, and fantastic performances from all the cast/crew, with the added bonus of a backdrop soundtrack/incidental music 'back to the future-style' by the great Alan Silvestri. You'll not help but think of back to the future in some scenes when the music kicks in, same as in predator. Enjoy....
