One of the author's lesser novels has been dumbed down exponentially for 온라인카지노추천 and put through a deflavorizer to remove every iota of the black humor and pop-culture satire that usually make even the silliest King sufferable.

| Jan 15, 2020

This adaptation by Lawrence D. Cohen ("Carrie") manages to squeeze out a respectable quota of creepy chills.

| Jan 15, 2020

Though the plot doesn't give you much to sink your teeth into, the miniseries at least has a decent ending.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 15, 2020

Some interesting performances, and a few of Mr. King's wonderfully weird touches, make it worth the time.

| Jan 15, 2020

There's probably enough random mayhem in the miniseries to keep some viewers watching, but perhaps even the King faithful will yearn for some little hint of substance to tie it together.

In addition to its ponderous length, the other big problem with "The Tommyknockers" is its surprisingly unsympathetic cast of characters.

| Jan 15, 2020

"The Tommyknockers" is recommended only to dyed-in-the-wool King fans. Other viewers would be wise to turn elsewhere.

| Jan 15, 2020

The expectation is that, like many King stories, Stephen King's The Tommyknockers will raise goosebumps and induce nightmares. But the expectation is not fulfilled.

| Jan 15, 2020

Director John Power establishes good pacing, as the mounting suspense alternates with scenes of banal normalcy and campy humor.

| Original Score: B | Jan 15, 2020

When [Lawrence D.] Cohen taps into King's greatest theme - families in peril from forces beyond their understanding - The Tommyknockers can be moving. The rest of the time, it's never less than an entertaining goof.

| Original Score: B | Jan 15, 2020

King's ability to give us relationships on which to hang our emotions provides a familiar and solid foundation for his effective scare tactics.

| Jan 15, 2020

Director John Power gives the fright thing a try, but the writing is pedestrian, the characters obvious.
