Movie Reviews of The Tommyknockers
Movie Review: Slow but worth it.
Summary: 4 Stars
For those who have not read the book, like me (I gave up on King a long time ago) this is a reasonably intelligent treatment of a theme done rather badly in The X-Files film (unless you just love conspiracy stories); the acting is credible and the horror grows slowly as the viewer comes to understand what is happening to the characters. It gets more like conventional SF films toward the end, but interest holds up throughout.And, as an aside, it does not surprise me that your reviewer who clearly dislikes Tracy Lords (who I think is highly underrated because of her pornstar background - she is learning all the time), is named 'Gay'.
Movie Review: Not that bad
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm surprised how this movie got the lower rate than it should be.I agree it's kinda slow and boring but the story becomes more interesting in every pace.If you feel like watching horror movie but don't want too violent stuff,try this one.Movie Review: From a Stephen King Fan
Summary: 3 Stars
I would like this movie regardless, because I am a Stephen King fan, but it is a bit dated and there seems to be too many stories going on at a time, I don't think it flows, to a very well explained climax, still I gave it 3 stars because it kept me entertained.
I purchased the DVD because I am collecting all of King's movies, and I am watching them more than once, but it will be a bit longer before I get around to this one again. If you are after a scare rating, this would only get a 1 on a 1-5 scale. I would never compare any movie based on one of his books and I have not read this one, but I can certainly imagine the story and characters coming together in the way he weaves a tale, I will endeavor to read the book.
Movie Review: Tommyknockers knocking at the door
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a fan of Stephen King and recently it seems that all of his work is been addited for movies. The Tommyknockers or De Gloed (the glow) in dutch is a very good book, as I like SF as well. So when I bought the video I was a little bit chocked. It started well but you will never know why Gardener wasn't affected by the alien influence and later on it seems they run out of time to show the book properly. Nevertheless a average Stephen King movie in the same categorie as movies like the Sphere or Event Horizon. Nice movies but still missing the juice that combines all the ingredients.Movie Review: Good, Not Great
Summary: 3 Stars
My wife, which has not read the book thought it was good. After having read the book, as always, the screenwriters take too many liberties and cut out important points and characters. As a whole it got the majority of the story line accros. Where is tht cameo of King?
