Phantoms Reviews
Familiar but Well Made Sci-Fi/Horror Thriller.
Two Sisters (Joanna Going & Rose McGowan) arrived in a small town in the state of Colorado. The Town appears empty and they find a couple of dead bodies in this seemingly peaceful town. The Sisters find themselves protected from by a Sheriff (Oscar-Winner:Ben Affleck) and His two deputies (Liev Schreiber & Nicky Katt). Together, They find themselves fighting a Ferocious Force of Evil lying below the Earth for Centuries. Now they have surfaced with the Power to Destory every Human on the Planet. But to Save Themselves, They need the Help of a Noted Tabloid Journalist (Peter O'Toole), Who understand the Curse of Evil.
Directed by Joe Chappelle (Halloween:The Curse of Micheal Myers) made a Entertaining, Sometimes Scary Sci-Fi Thriller. Good Performances does help alot from the Cast, especially the Amusing Perverted Role of Schreiber is Funny. This was a Box Office Disapointment in the Winter of 1998, the film is Quickly Forgetten now. But the film is better than expected with echoes from The Body Snatchers, Event Horizon and John Carpenter's The Thing and the film is fairly suspenseful. DVD has an sharp non-anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an terrific-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD Offers No Extras, which is too bad but the film speaks for itself. Based on a Novel by Dean Koontz (The Funhouse, Odd Thomas, Watchers). Koontz did wrote the Adapation from His Novel and He's one of the Executive Producers of the Film. Grade:A-.
so very bad
The only scary thing about this movie is Ben Affleck's pompadour. It grows ever bigger as the movie progresses!
Basically, two sisters arrive in a small Colorado town to find everyone except the three sheriffs dead. That alone should tell you not to trust the sheriffs. They obviously 1) killed everyone themselves or 2) do their job so poorly that no one in the town remains alive.
It just gets worse and worse from there. This movie hinges mainly on its special effects of gross bodies and killings, but this was during the wave of slasher flicks like the Scream franchise so it can be excused for that. After all, that stuff made a lot of bank in the 1990s. But that is still not an excuse for not really trying.
