10 80s Horror Remakes That Actually Should Happen

9. Cat€™s Eye (1985)

Cats Eye Title This is a Stephen King anthology film that does have an interesting premise, with the travels of a stray cat drawn to a little girl in danger. The first two stories €˜Quitters Inc€™ and €˜The Ledge€™ are okay, it€™s with the last one €˜The General€™ that the film starts having problems. It€™s hard to make a threat out of a creature that you could tread on. With a remake of Carrie due and the trailer gaining cautious approval, Stephen King€™s older works are getting older enough in Hollywood years to warrant remaking. There is certainly nothing wrong with going back to the stories in €˜Night Shift€™ and €˜Skeleton Crew€™ and turning them into a new anthology film. The use of a wandering cat could convey the sense of some hidden threats waiting on the side lines of the everyday world.
