starring Drew Barrymore, James Woods, Alan King, Kenneth McMillan, Robert Hays, Candy Clark, James Naughton, James Rebhorn
IMDb synopsis:
Three horror-thriller tales revolve around a mysterious stray cat which is attempting to find a little girl in trouble. In “Quitters, Inc.”: the cat is picked up by a shady New York “doctor” who uses experimental techniques to get people to quit smoking. His latest client is a man named Morrison, who learns he’ll suffer some terrible consequences if he tries to cheat. In “The Ledge”: the cat is picked up by Cressner, a shady Atlantic City millionaire who forces tennis pro Norris (his wife’s lover), to walk a narrow ledge around his high-rise penthouse apartment. In “The General”: the cat arrives in Wilmington, North Carolina, where it is found by Amanda, the young girl it has been sent to protect. What she needs protection from is a tiny, evil troll who lives behind the skirting board in her bedroom.

“Quitters” was a Stephen King short story that was included in “Cat’s Eye” a film anthology that starred among others, Drew Barrymore. It concerns a man who after repeated attempts (and his wife’s nagging) to stop smoking, is put onto a group that “guarantees” results. He joins up,little realizing that “Quitters” is Mafia run and isn’t above using the most Draconian tactics (including watching his wife being electrocuted)to obtain the result.
