Three short stories by shock-meister Stephen King are linked by a stray cat that roams from one tale to the next in this creepy triptych that begins as Dick (James Woods) 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.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The three stories just don't connect and efforts to join them never work. However, an excellent roster of talent does try its best.

Stephen King seems to be working his way through the reference books of human phobias, and Cat's Eye is one of his most effective films.

fresh:
Even though the mix contains lumps, Cat's Eye is the best screen adaptation of any King work since Brian De Palma's Carrie.

The usual caveats about cumulatively unsatisfying portmanteau pictures certainly apply.
