Trivia
The "flatworm theory" used in the movie (that flatworms can eat the remains of their own kind and absorb their knowledge) is based on actual tests given to flatworms which involved seeing how quickly they would make the "correct" turn at a Y-intersection after eating the previous experimenters. The results were more inconclusive than the film says. See more »Goofs
When Copperfield is killed, the piece of glass the "phantom" takes out of his mouth does not match the hole left in his visor, and the cracks on the visor itself change between shots. See more »Quotes

I thought this quite a scary science fiction/horror film. I would compare it favorably to "Wishmaster," for example.
The special effects were up to par. Peter O'Toole did seem a bit uncomfortable in his role, but the other actors did OK given the limited character development of their parts.
The typical "There Will be a Another" ending was supplied. You just can't get rid of those darned worms it seems
