Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a big Stephen King fan, I have enjoyed many of the films adapted from his novels and these are no exception. Maximum Overdrive is a little campy today but is a very fun film that doesn't take itself seriously, 8/10. Silver Bullet is my least favourite of the three, that doesn't mean I didn't like it though. It stars a young Corey Haim afew years before he was in the Lost Boys, Gary Busey and Everett McGill who played the father in The people under the stairs. 7.5/10. Lastly is Cats eye, this movie is the main reason I got the box set. The first two tales in this compilation movie are fantastic, just my opinion but the third part feels weak compared to the previous two. Still gets a 8.5/10 from me. Though non of these films come close to the likes of The Shining, Misery, Carrie or Creepshow, it is an excellent set of lesser known King films. I would have given it 5 stars but the fact that non of the movies come with extras I just can't.

I am very happy to finnally own this Boxset however I did mainly get it for Maximum Overdrive, The films are all in widescreen and delivery a good clear picture they also all have 5.1 sound and really the only draw back on the Dvds are the poor artwork on each dvd case they really look like a pound shop job and thats why I did not give five stars rating however I would reccommend it fo under £10.

I am a huge STEPHEN KING fan , at first I only bought this boxset for one movie alone,the fabulous 80s horror classic CAT'S EYE , for anyone who has not seen CAT'S EYE ,then its quite like movies such as CREEPSHOW and TRICK R TREAT , meaning it tells three seperate tales of horror , but the main story/ theme is about a stray cat desperately trying to find and protect a little girl , who is getting her breath stolen from her by an evil troll like creature , its terrific , I love it
The other two movies were just a bonus to begin with , but found SILVER BULLET to be an an excellent kinda guess who the werewolf is story ,it stars the late COREY HAIM and GARY BUSEY ,really liked it , the werewolf fx are a bit dodgy in places , but it's still great fun
Have not watched MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE yet ,gonna watch it soon , but I know it is directed by the great man himself / STEPHEN KING ,and it stars EMILIO ESTEVEZ , who i really liked in the YOUNG GUNS movies
I thought that this box set was excellent value for money , CAT'S EYE itself is now a deleted UK region 2 dvd these days , and it can be pretty expensive to get a hold off , so apart from anything else ,this box set made great financial sense
A MUST SEE MOVIE TRIPLE BILL FOR ALL STEPHEN KING FANS - AND A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY DVD COLLECTION TO BOOT

Great stuff from the King, as always
SK isn't always great (hate the fantasy stuff - he bangs on for far too long about dreams and suchlike) but this is the good, old-fashioned stuff he's rightly famous for. Read more

A nice collection
I don't know what it is about Stephen King novels, but the transition to film never seems to be 100%

Nice selection of films
I bought this mostly for Maximum Overdrive: that has to be my favourite Stephen King film.
Cat's Eye is also very good, and very funny. Read more

I don't like Steven King much but I did remember enjoying maximum overdrive and I'd been searching for it since a TV repair company 'borrowed' my copy and never returned it. Read more
