Synopsis
Unspeakable horrors have mysteriously befallen the whole town of Snowfield, Colorado, leaving behind only a few mangled body parts and unanswered questions. Enter two vacationing sisters and a sheriff and deputy from a nearby town, who try to piece things together with the help of a scientist-turned-tabloid hack. But will they unravel the mystery of the monstrous subterranean killing force before they become its prey? Adapted by Dean Koontz from his own novel.
Awards
1997: Saturn Awards (Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films): nominated to Best Horror Film.
Critics' reviews
- "Well-crafted in most aspects, Phantoms is finally more ambitious than satisfying. It also could have used more humor"
- "A horror film that starts out creepy but ends up disjointed and borderline- incoherent."
- "All the movie's free-form horror phenomena might have been more interesting if the plot didn't keep insisting on a systematic explanation for them"
