Plot: Desperate for work, troubled high school teacher Jim Norman (Tim Matheson) relocates his family to his rural hometown after procuring a much-needed job there. Once home he must relive and confront a c...( read more  )hildhood nightmare: the high school hoodlums who murdered his older brother in a tunnel ambush, and were killed themselves by an oncoming train, are slowly rising from the grave to finish the job by killing Norman. The ghostly hooligans, who appear as flesh and blood to students, start "transferring" into school when some of Norman's students mysteriously perish; however their phantom, fire-spitting car is invisible to all but their victims. Suspicion for the inexplicably rising student-body count soon falls squarely on Norman, who must find a way to protect his wife and son from danger, vanquish the supernatural hoods, and cast off the shackles of his past. It's a fairly straightforward plot with some obvious elements, but Matheson and his supporting cast (including wife Brooke Adams) create a suspenseful, fear-inducing atmosphere under the able direction of Tom McLoughlin from a screenplay adaptation by Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal. --Bryan Reesman

  One of King's better film adaptions. Neither Hillary Swank nor Alexis Arquette are in this movie despite her being credited onthis page.

  I found myself a bit bored by this, so maybe it's not a great horror film. However, fans of Stephen King, or even just true fans of horror films, might have some fun watching this.

  Awesome movie based on the short story by Stephen King, which was also a great short story published in the Night Shift collection. IMO, it's a far more effective ghost story then any of this pussy PG-13 shit like The Grudge and The Ring.
