Cat's Eye

1985 · 1h 34m · Horror, Thriller

IMDb 6.3 Metacritic 70 RT 69%

Cat's Eye is a fun 80s horror grab bag with Stephen King's signature blend of the mundane and the macabre—the ledge sequence alone is genuinely tense. The anthology format means if one story doesn't land, the next one's just around the corner, making it perfect for a breezy horror night that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Plot

Three short stories linked by a stray cat that roams from one tale to the next, in this creepy triptych that begins as Dick tries to quit smoking by any means necessary. Next, we meet Johnny, an adulterous man who's forced by his lover's husband onto a building's hazardous ledge. Finally, Amanda is threatened by an evil gnome who throws suspicion on the family cat.

Director: Lewis Teague
