Amazon.com:
Either Dean Koontz shouldn't adapt his own bestsellers, or his 1983 novel Phantoms was a pack of horror clichés to begin with, or this movie is 15 years past its due date. What might have seemed fresh at the time of Poltergeist now feels like it was made from a derivative script with pages missing. Plagued by reckless leaps of logic, the movie starts with adequately eerie atmosphere and a perversely twisted performance by Scream 2's Liev Schreiber, but decays into a familiar hash of gross-out effects, resulting from the annihilation of a small Colorado town by an evil force known as "The Ancient Enemy." In a dreary role that insults the twilight of his distinguished career, Peter O'Toole plays a paleobiologist whose crackpot ideas have become tabloid fodder, but he holds the key to conquering the beast. Or does he? Sure enough, an obligatory coda leaves room for anticlimactic doubt. Phantoms has a few genuinely creepy highlights, including a devilish beastie resembling an angry flying scorpion, and horror fans will surely find something to admire, but everyone else is advised to proceed with caution and lowered expectations. --Jeff Shannon

If you hate Science Fiction than you may not like this movie. But if you love Sci-Fi horror I would recommend purchasing this movie now and watch it at night with all the lights turned off and your surround sound system turned up!
Dean Knootz is a MASTER at suspense! I heard the book Phantoms is better so buy the novel if you are looking for a good read. However, the movie was VERY good.
Basic Overview: Two sisters are driving into a small town nestled in the mid-west. Small ... Read More

I've never been a huge Dean Koontz fan. So, I didn't expect much from this movie adaptation of PHANTOMS. What I saw wasn't a complete disaster, but not all that frightening either. Of course, having Ben Affleck play a small town sheriff does stretch believability to the breaking point! Rose McGowan (DEVIL IN THE FLESH) gets to scream and look scared a lot, and Peter O'Toole has certainly come quite far from his LAWRENCE OF ARABIA days, now playing a gossip-rag reporter battling an oil-sludge monster. ...

I loved the book, Phantoms, and the movie followed the book closely. Since Dean Koontz did the screen play that was understandable. The characters were well played and engaging. I recommend this to any scifi fan.

Phantoms, based on the novel by Dean Koontz, isn't as scary as The Shining and Gin Gwai (The Eye), but it really brings a creepy atmosphere for a horror film that doesn't try too hard. It sets itself apart from the horror flicks of the late 90's such as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Urban Legend by focusing on a ghostly, seemingly demonic figure rather than a guy with a mask. What we get are some very impressive scares and some unusual creepiness throughout the entire film. But this isn't ... Read More

I didn't want to give it 4 stars except for the redeeming value of one of it's actors and for the scary suspense that it managed to carry nearly throughout the movie. Liev Schrieber as the nasty Stu Wargle is an absolute gem in the dark. Physically not a match for the "book" Wargle, even without the verbal nastiness of the original Schrieber gets his character across with absolute clarity. Peter O'Toole is always good and he did the Timothy Flyte character justice. Once again, while not true the book, it ... Read More
