Great horror entertainment. The story couldn't be better when it comes to creativity and horror-related thrills. The acting is mediocre, but what did you expect? There's action, gore, great special effects, excellent storyline...this movie deserves more credit than it gets.... Full review

Normally Dean Koontz movie adaptations of his books are pretty poorly translated. That is not the case with Phantoms. This movie was actually really fun to watch and even had a couple of actors I really like in it, Liev Schreiber... Full review

Well-crafted in most aspects, "Phantoms" is finally more ambitious than satisfying.
Friday January 23, 1998 There's much that's conventional about "Phantoms," a Dean Koontz tale of supernatural terror, but it does develop lofty intellectual ambitions and boasts a dry, witty performance by Peter O'Toole that lifts the level of the film beyond the routine.

Plagued by reckless leaps of logic, the movie starts with adequately eerie atmosphere and a perversely twisted performance by Scream 2 's Liev Schreiber, but decays into a familiar hash of gross-out effects, resulting from the annihilation of a small Colorado town by an evil force known as "The Ancient Enemy. ...

Author Koontz, a kind of low-end Stephen King, has pronounced himself satisfied with "Phantoms" - and well he should be, since he was scriptwriter and executive producer, and had final say on casting and choice of director.
It's all stitched together and presented in a movie-of-the-week style, goosed up with some so-so special effects.
