After years of wondering if Affleck really was the bomb in Phantoms yo, the answer is definitely not. This is just a retarded hodgepodge of elements from other horror movies...with Peter O'Toole. This can't be what Koontz imagined when writing this.

Affleck is da bomb in Phantoms yo.

Worth a watch

Dean Koontz novels should be adapted even less often than King's work.

What do you expect from a Dean Koontz adaptation?

This film starts off really well, with a great setting and creepy atmosphere. Unfortunately the second half of the films seems to have been directed by George Lucas in disguise, as it quickly becomes a naff, cgi based, daft-a-thon. Nobody is "da bomb" here, but watch out for Liev Schreiber as a creepy deputy!

holy shit.

A goofy, cheesy, predictable film with a puffball ending. Peter O'Toole, why? Your talent is wasted.

randomly effective

Rose McGowan boobies

Too bad this wasn't better, it's Koontz' best story imo.

Ben Affleck is the bomb in Phantoms, yo.

Poor overall, but entertaining in spots

Meh. Lame book turned into an even lamer movie. (I don't think lamer is an actual word, but this movie inspired me to make it up).

It's rare that a novel and its movie adaptation attempt to outdo each other in how terrible they can be, but this is a perfect example. Koontz's original story was hackneyed, derivative and predictable. The same can be said of the movie, except that it also happens to star Ben Affleck. This should not be interpreted as an asset.

Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms.

Pretty spooky at first, some decent acting is turned in by the younger sister & weirdo turned villain, then we fail to be scared by the dog or interested in the solution. The special effects are disappointing at best, but the bodies are okay.
