Plot: Adapted for TV, this is a Stephen King story in which an aspiring writer and an alcoholic poet (with a metal plate in his head, no less) literally stumble over a long-buried spaceship while walking in the woods. It starts glowing green when uncovered and soon everyone in town has green eyes, their teeth fall out and they act out all of their fantasies (violent or otherwise). Guess who's immune to the power of this alien spaceship? You got it--our good old metal-headed poet can save the day if he can get it together enough to do so. Really more of a B movie than most King horrorfests. ~ Tana Hobart, All Movie Guide

Really, really lame.

This movie was very boring to watch, and I didn't care about any of the characters. I think I finished watching this movie just because I was too lazy to get up and take out the DVD. The special effects were really badly done--they used green light to excess, possibly just to cover up some of the worst "special effects". Lackluster story, characters with no chemistry, student-grade effects...pass on this one.

"The Tommyknockers" by Stephen King is one of the greatest movies. It will certainly give you the chills.

This is a favorite of mine, I loved the characters, the storyline, everything. The ending was sad though, Jimmy Smitts went thru all
that trouble to try and quit drinking and saving his girlfriend only
to end up sacrificing himself to rid the planet of the Tommyknockers.
Still,a very very good movie.

This film is very enjoyable to anyone with an interest in Science Fiction. It is a typical Stephen King classic,

I would like this movie regardless, because I am a Stephen King fan, but it is a bit dated and there seems to be too many stories going on at a time, I don't think it flows, to a very well explained climax, still I gave it 3 stars because it kept me entertained.
I purchased the DVD because I am collecting all of King's movies, and I am watching them more than once, but it will be a bit longer before I get around to this one again. If you are after a scare rating, this would only get a 1 on a 1-5 scale. I would never compare any movie based on one of his books and I have not read this one, but I can certainly imagine the story and characters coming together in the way he weaves a tale, I will endeavor to read the book.
