The film captures the essence and much of the atmosphere of the awesome Koontz novel, and is a prime example of a TV movie done well. McGinley and Parker are great, and the plot deviations (and the additions) from the novel work well for the different medium of TV. The 3 hours - or broken in two separate viewings of 1.5 hours each - are not cumbersome. My only criticism is that the villain's character is a tad less menacing than the one in the novel, showing lower levels of self-control.

Hard to find, worthy adaptation of the Koontz story - worth the buy. Noteable predecessor to High Tension.

Just barely remains entertaining over the span of two feature-length episodes, despite the mostly godawful text (a Dean Koontz adaptation). There are certainly good, popcorn-worthy moments scattered about, but whenever there's dialogue it goes downhill; with McGinley's incessant spewing of tedious serial-killer tripe, and the constantly tearful Parker dallying endlessly with the captive teen, telling stories about her own childhood instead of running.

Not good. Not good at all.
