    With the exception of some bad blue screen I still loved this movie. The Goblin at the was still creepy as well.

    A movie divided into three parts, each separate story linked by the passage of a cat through it. The first two parts (Quitters' Incorporated and The Ledge) are well done adaptations of two short stories that are amongst Stephen King's best writing. Admittedly, they read better (y...( read more)ou can find them both in the Night Shift collection) because a lot has to do with what the characters are thinking, which you can't really do on screen. However, they come about as close as possible here. The third part of the movie, I think is written specifically for the movie and wraps things up nicely. Well worth seeing.

    Yes! This movie is great. I was terrified to sleep for years with my face up, because I thought a wall goblin would suck my breath out.

    I loved the short stories...and the movie was done really well. Nothing from the plot of the stories were lost and I think Stephen King is a frigging genius...

    I liked the 80's synthesized music, and the framing story about the Cat trying to rescue the little girl, but some of the other stories just weren't up to snuff for this anthology of horror tales.

    Story #1 - about the man going to the agency to Stop Smoking - just wasn't very ...( read more)interesting or scary.

    Story #2 - the man who must walk all the way around the building's ledge, was a bit suspenseful, but not scary.

    I was expecting a horror movie here!

    Story #3 - I loved the battle between the cat and the little troll in the girl's bedroom. Great effects and action. Worth the price of the movie alone. Drew Barrymore is the greatest 80's movie child.

    Wow me impresiono el echo de que el protagonista de esta pelicula fuese un gato y debo decir que no olvidare lo aterrador que me resulto el duende es pura maldad y el gato hace una buena contraparte sin duda un clasico

    I have seen this movie long time ago.

    I can't remember shit now. I'm gonna watch it again.

    A collection of Stephen king short stories,made on a budget....
  • September 30, 2009
    This is sort of half thriller and half horror movie. We follow this one cat on three different stories. Based off of some Stephen King stories this is quite good. James Woods is great in the second story. But my favorite is the last story. You never seem to look at your bedroom a...( read more)s a child again as a safe place when you sleep. Well worth checking out.
