Inexcusably cheesy even as far as 90s King miniseries go, but charming all the same. Forty, maybe fifty years ago I'm sure it would have inspired a cult following. Loved the evil soda machine (throwback to Maximum Overdrive perhaps) and the lipstick raygun, and the cast's "before they were famous" density approaches that of Fast Times or Dazed and Confused.

Not a particularly strong novel from King, don't expect a better viewing experience.

I only watched this TV movie because it had Traci Lords in it, and it was more boring and pointless than I thought it would be. Endless shots of flashing green lights and people digging in the forest. I could barely stay interested long enough to see the ending.

Cheesy in a way that only early-1990s Stephen King adaptations are, The Tommyknockers sprinkles a few creepy moments into three hours of mediocrity--of particular offense is a scene in which Traci Lords uses her vapor-ray lipstick tube to dissolve two policemen. Stay away, unless you really have nothing better to do.

They screwed up a great Stephen King story. Again. The only good thing I can say about this one is that it was great casting to have Traci Lords play the town hussy

Ties with The Langoliers as the worst Stephen King miniseries ever made. Despite the problems the novel had, there was at least a strong metanarrative concerning addiction and self-control. This was discarded in the movie in favour of laughably bad "sci-fi" action, which consisted mostly of poorly superimposed green flashes of light. The worst culprit of this? The lipstick raygun. Avoid this movie at all costs. You will regret it instantly if you do not.
