One of the greatest made-for-TV movies I have seen..., 15 July 2000
8/10
Author: BUTCHER-5 from Poland

Usually I don't like TV movies,but this one is good.Some sequences like two killings in the gas station are quite intense and terrifying without being gratuitously violent.The acting is reliable and the film's atmosphere is eerie.Surely this is the best adaptation of Dean Koontz's book I have seen.The ending is one hell of a surprise.The film-makers should make more adaptations of Koontz(however "Phantoms" by Joe Chappelle is complete piece of crap).The actor John C.McGinley as a killer rocks!
