Tagline: For centuries they told us the terror would come from above. We've been looking the wrong way.

Plot: Unspeakable horrors have mysteriously befallen the whole town of Snowfield, Colorado, leaving behind only a few mangled body parts and unanswered questions. Enter two vacationing sisters and a sheriff and deputy from a nearby town, who try to piece things together with the help of a scientist-turned-tabloid hack. But will they unravel the mystery of the monstrous subterranean killing force before they become its prey? Adapted by Dean Koontz from his own novel.

 External Reviews
external linkDecent and intriguing effort based on the Dean Koontz novel (he also scripted) this has an eerie beginning and muted delivery at first only to build on its foreboding sense of dread to a effects packed finale. 2.5/4

external linkA few moments of tension highlight an otherwise uninvolving affair. I don't know if the book's like this, but the movie winds up coming off like a second-rate It in that the "haunted" town concept inherent in both works is stated here but not explored enough. 2/5

external linkO.K. Dimension Films release is worth catching on cable. It has the unremarkable distinction of being one of the better films based upon a Dean Koontz story.
