"When Cohen taps into King’s greatest theme — families in peril from forces beyond their understanding — The Tommyknockers can be moving. The rest of the time, it’s never less than an entertaining goof." | ||
|
|
|
"Director John Power gives the fright thing a try, but the writing is pedestrian, the characters obvious" | ||
|
|
|
"'The Tommyknockers' is a terrific idea - but one in search of an effectively streamlined delivery system" | ||
|
|
|
"We are in archetypal King territory. The formula is wearing thin, but this adaptation by Lawrence D. Cohen manages to squeeze out a respectable quota of creepy chills." | ||
|
|
|
"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." |
