"Cat's Eye" is a three-story, Horror anthology tied together using a unique wrap-around...a spunky little cat, desperate to help a little girl. I think the cat as hero is a really smart way to bring everything together. He's got a bit to do in each story, and it's surprising to see the him used in the first two stories, which were each pulled from Stephen King's short-story collection called "Night Shift".

Any self-respecting Horror fan knows "Night Shift". It was a staple of the 1980's Horror paperback craze. The first two segments of this movie recreate the stories "Quitter's Inc." and "The Ledge". They are both quite good, but I really like "The Ledge" here. It's the best story in the movie and surpasses the last original segment with a mini-troll attacking a little girl (Drew Barrymore) in her room. This is the story where the cat becomes superhero. It's mostly a cute little thriller.

All three of these stories team up to make "Cat's Eye" a good time. It's not scary, it's just a little bit mean-spirited and it's actually quite funny. There is one thing that bugs me about "Cat's Eye" and it's the mother of the little girl in the last segment. She's played by Candy Clark and she is an entirely unlikable character.
