Based on one of Stephen King's sci-fi horror stories, this movie is very strange, but it stays within the sci-fi conventions well. I liked it, it was very interesting. If you like King, check it out.
I honestly don't know how many made for TV movies will have to be made before Stephen King realizes that it's a terrible way to translate his stories. I thought that the book was really interesting and a sort of ode to 50s sci-fi, War of the Worlds in particular. This is just a c... read more
Aside from the odd exception, Stephen King has rarely transfered well to the big or small screen, and along comes this little mini-series which is a by-numbers example of what actually gets lost in translation. Firstly: when these novels are adapted for the screen, fundamental el... read more
Another 3 hours of Stephen King. This time I was tired of the same old story. The slow build up good, the climax not so good. By the time the "mystery" is uncovered it's TV budget betrays the rest of the film. Cheap sets and a laughable explanation. King should really stick to Va... read more
Shocking about a town taken over by long-dormant aliens when the green lights appear. Traci Lords is hotter as a sexy bitch post woman. It's a part like 1988's TV series, War of the World.
Saw this as a 2 part TV movie based on Stephen King's book. Great story and a good cast, not bad effects for a low budget film as well.
Utterly dim Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers rip-off based on a particularly lame Stephen King novel, complete with TV movie production value.
I saw it when I was a lot younger, I wasn't impressed at all. Was pretty bored actually.
This is my favorite King book, but the movie drifts so far from the original story that it was unwatchable. Key characters and dialogue are missing and the acting and music are awful. This movie should have been a big budget smash, Jimmy Smits was far off the mark as Gard!
huge fan of the book.....star studded cast ....goes to crap from there....it has it's moments but so does a commercial and it only takes 30 seconds. the suspense never landed at the right moment to make you want to come back and see what was going to happen...even for me and I kn... read more
Bland and meandering King adaptation.
