MCT:August 3, 2008Another bizarre and whimsical Stephen King movie (or miniseries, in this case). Good to waste time with, not good if you're looking for a terrifying horror movie. Fun, though.

Not the worst Stephen King mini-series, but not the best either...wait, is that a contradiction in terms? mmmmm.
-
MCT:July 27, 2008I actually don't remember the movie as well as I would like. I just remember Traci Lords being in it and finding out she was a porn star. Remember enjoying it overall.

Another Stephen King classic that failed to make it as a movie. This is a great story, but the movie doesn't quite get it.

I was kinda lost, probably because I didn't read the book. Nice "alien-ish costumes", but other than that...meh.
-
MCT:March 8, 2008I can't believe I actually watched this entire mess of a series. The acting was laughably bad and it was too close to the book that it made it 3.5 hours. I found out today watching this why adaptations of stories have parts removed to not gouge the time. Stephen King adaptations are a hit or miss. You have on one hand The Green Mile, The Shining, that new one he has out, and then you have the Tommyknockers. Ditch this waste of time. Kudos if you could actually sit through it, and this is coming from a guy who liked and watched Inland Empire.

MCT:March 2, 2008Take my advise, watch The Stand or It again instead. Maybe just maybe not all King novels were meant for cinematic realization.

MCT:February 2, 2008My husband loved this book. Said it was really scary when reading it, I didn't know it was a film to. I really must see this.

This is a pretty faithful adaptation of King's novel. Problem is, the novel was written during King's "Nothing at all works" period.
-
MCT:November 29, 2007Stephen King has dipped deep into the bottom of the barrel for this rip-off of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" that even the National Enquirer would be hard- pressed to come up with. I read somewhere that when King himself ranked his novels, this one was bottom of the list. After you have finished watching this film, with its many plot holes, predictable twists, wooden acting and a lot of boredom, you begin to appreciate Traci Lord's earlier films even more!

"Late last night and the night before, Tommyknockers Tommyknockers knocking at my door. I want to go out, don't know if I can, cause I'm still scared of the Tommyknocker man."

I havent watched it all yet as I have it on DVD, but what I have watched is fantastic and I am a true worshiper of the book, which is my favourite Stephen King horror.
-
MCT:July 30, 2007This is a very interesting movie, that sort of reminded me of Needful Things, except that there were aliens instead of the devil as the culprit of the strange happenings in the small town in Maine. It's great to see films based on some of Stephen King's science fiction stories instead of his horror stories for once.

There are just some books that should be left alone. To make a movie out of some, is just mocking them. Sadly almost all of SK's novels have gone this route.
-
MCT:July 16, 2007Another super neat Stephen King movie! He just keeps doing it.... blowing our minds and freaking us out...again and again! I'm such a fan! And he's a master at what he does! Go rent it for sure!!"

Highly fun and entertaining- very long- but hey its totally worth it. Something green is coming from the woods could it be aliens? Another Stephen King classic.

Discovering buried alien craft under forest soil and eventually being mind controlled to dig it out. Tommyknockers are strange alien forms, it's amazing some can survive so long buried.

When I first saw this in my twenties, I had nightmares for a couple of nights after watching it. Now, compared to the latest horror flicks this now pales.
-

I think this is a pretty strong horror/sci fi movie. It genuinely scared me the first time I saw it, though I was also a fairly young person. It is thrilling and interesting and pretty unique.
-

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.

This movie scared the crap out of me as a child, but not like scarred me for life or anything just scared me.

I like this adaptation of this Stephen King novel. Not the best film adaptation but certainly not the worst. Rather exciting and I wanted absolutely to know the secret although the answer wasn't as shocking as I expected. And then it even started to be a little bit cliché and predictable.
I have not read the book, maybe I should give it a try.
