TOMMYKNOCKERS.
Not seen this since the 90's (and the mid nineties at that) after I picked it up from the video store after school. I remember not liking it at the time, I'd just read the book and remember the film feeling like a letdown...well I found the us dvd release in a local market so I thought I'd give it a go.
Returning to it after all these years.. Well I liked it. Its far from the best stephen king adaptation, but its also far from the worse. It's certainly aged a bit better than Golden years! Jimmy Smits from NYPD blue is great and it passed the time well enough in spite of the 3 hour running time, and I liked the way it tried to draw parralels with the tommyknockers and man's relationship to nuclear power.
