Cat's Eye
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 ledgehanger. 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. Meowvelous!

Two Out of Three Ain't Bad - ABC99
Two out of the three stories in Cat's Eye aren't bad. The first is the best, with James Woods as a man who really must commit to quiting smoking. The second is fun with a man force to walk the perimiter of a bulding on a six inch ledge. The third is a dud with a little troll that lives in the walls. I thought it was fun but I can see why some will find it terrible.I'd Rather Sit Through "C.A.T.S"!!! - JordanMichelle
I'm no musical fan; dancing male cats in tights prouncing around doesn't appeal to me...but that just goes to show how bad this movie really is. It's a 2 or 3 short story compliation directed by what appears to be a grade 2 foreign exchange program. It sucks, don't waste your pick!Laughably Bad - Malakaiii
I definitely don't recommend this one!
The trio of stories were so loosely connected! I couldn't understand why the cat was the thread between them (apart from it being a very well trained cat, which was neat).
The first story is interesting enough that I would've liked it to continue. The second was just plain weird and almost painful to watch. And the third, despite the very cute Drew Barrymore, completely lost me with that weird troll thing.
I have no idea who this movie was aimed at, as would go over the heads of most kids and is laughably bad for adults...
A miss for sure.
