Review of Cat's Eye

Cat's Eye (1985)
6/10
Could have more substance
3 August 2001
Three short stories by Stephen King, connected somewhat half-heartedly by having a cat appear in each of them. Only in the last episode, the cat is really important, in the others it is introduced arbitrarily. As I read, there has been a prologue to the film that gives the third episode more substance, more sense, as there usually is in Stephen King's horror stories, but the prologue was cut out by a producer. That's a pity because the General episode is really poor this way.

The other two are not quite frightening either, but they are nice, based on fine, little insane ideas, but I like such plots. The stories are not world-shattering like some others by King, but they are likeable and creative. This is the right movie to watch at Sunday night, not too early and not too late.
