10 More Horror Movie Openings NOBODY Saw Coming
9. Cat's Eye
Lewis Teague's horror anthology opens with long-time smoker, Dick Morrison (James Woods), joining Quitters, Inc. so he can put an end to his nasty addiction. Though the counsellor, Vinnie Donatti, is adamant his clients have a 100% success rate, Dick starts having second doubts and attempts to leave the facility.
However, Dick realises he and his loved ones are in serious danger after Vinnie explains how the treatment works. If Dick smokes one cigarette, Vinnie will have his wife tortured with electrocution. On his second offence, Dick's daughter will receive the same treatment. On his third offence, Dick's wife will be raped. Realising that each smoke will cause Dick to suffer a harsher penalty, he finds himself losing his mind while trying to kick the habit.
Being a Stephen King adaptation, fans should've expected the film to have a disturbing and memorable opening. Although Cat's Eye doesn't begin with any gore or violence, Dick's unconventional dilemma is sure to get under anyone's skin.
