Three episodes written and directed by Stephen King. In the first, a young man who wants to quit smoking turns to a clinic that applies a sadistic but effective method. In the second, an elderly billionaire blackmails his wife's lover to force him into a challenge with death. In the third, a young girl is obsessed with a terrible nightmare, dreaming that a monstrous gnome steals her breath while she sleeps. Above the usual "short films" of episodes (after all, it's the touch of Uncle King), the last episode is smooth and fun, especially. Nothing exceptional, but it's absolutely enjoyable.
