1985Cert. 15 Length: 91 mins. Available on: 4 Front, 0842643 Price: £4.99 Director: Lewis Teague Starring: James Woods, Drew Barrymore With: Alan King Plot: Three wry and shocking Stephen King short stories are linked by a stray cat which roams from one tale to the next. Comments: In the first episode, a New York man has trouble giving up cigarettes. He turns to a shady self-help operation whose hotheaded owner outlines a litany of incrementally harsh penalties for those who cannot resist having another puff.
The second story centers on Cressner, a mobster who works Atlantic City. His wife has been having an affair with a tennis pro, so Cressner forces the athlete to walk the ledge around his apartment high-rise. If the athlete can complete one lap along the overhang, he gets to be with Cressner's wife forever.A young girl, in the closing and the best narrative, has difficulty sleeping. Though her parents suspect the family cat of wrongdoing, the girl knows better - especially after she spots a foot-high troll coming out of her bedroom wall! Dr Blood's rating: 5/10 |
