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 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... [More]

The film seems like a throwback not to old horror comics but to bad syndicated TV horror.

A terceira história é também a pior, o que é lamentável, já que conclui o filme de forma decepcionante depois de duas narrativas interessantes, tensas e divertidas.

A horror anthology written by Stephen King with two good segments enveloping a great one.

Uneven, but mildly diverting at times.

Decent King adaptations shrouded with a weak framing story.

Amusing adaptation of a few Stephen King short stories -- if only smokers were treated in real life as they are in this film!

A fairly uneven collection of short horror stories. The segment with James Woods, however, justifies the price of a rental

You would think they could have gotten at least ONE story right.
