CAT'S EYE(1985)
I'm not a big fan of Horror Movies, but this one is pretty
good! I really like Drew Barrymore, and she does great in
this! And a pretty cool cat too!!
From a reviewer at Amazon:
Stephen King ( whom wrote the screenplay for this movie)
brings you three terrifying tales of horror done in the "Creepshow"
style as told from the eyes of a traveling stray cat. The first story "
Quitters Inc." is about a family man ( James Woods) who just can't
stop smoking as he signs up for a program called "Quitters Inc."
which secretly monitors his smoking habit, the next tale is in Atlantic
City called " The Ledge" which a tennis player makes a bet with
a boss to walk a hotel ledge. Then finally our title cat in " The
General" must protect a young girl ( Drew Barrymore)from an
evil goblin who wants her soul.
Entertaining and well-made collection of comic-book stories with
Hitchcock-esque and Twilight Zone-esque tones to them. Good
acting and some good special effects for it's time especially the
goblin make this worth watching.
Highly recommended if you enjoy the works of Stephen King,
Creepshow 1 & 2 and Tales from The Darkside: The Movie.
P.S.: Look for cameo's by Stephen King's other famous characters
like " Cujo" and "Christine.(John Lindsey)
