- Synopsis
- Adapted for TV, this is a Stephen King story in which an aspiring writer and an alcoholic poet (with a metal plate in his head, no less) literally stumble over a long-buried spaceship while walking in the woods. It starts glowing green when uncovered and soon everyone in town has green eyes, their teeth fall out and they act out all of their fantasies (violent or otherwise). Guess who's immune to the power of this alien spaceship? You got it—our good old metal-headed poet can save the day if he can get it together enough to do so. Really more of a B movie than most King horrorfests.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'The Tommyknockers' is a terrific idea - but one in search of an effectively streamlined delivery system"
-
"No one will confuse episodic 'The Tommyknockers' with 'The Twilight Zone'. It relies more on cheap effects than imagination or characterizations. Even the setting is counterfeit; this New England is actually New Zealand"
-
"A laughable, would-be scare-'em inspired by King's novel that has been distended over too long a time to meet the needs of TV's mini form"
-
"To say The Tommyknockers is bad is an understatement. It's awful"
-
"Passably entertaining from start to finish."
