it could have be a marvelous story base on the ancient race of cat people and but it wasn not . this work could have be just that while marvelous and replete with mythological reference which keep my fascination fuel . the lead character ( charles brady play by brian krause while and his mother mary and play by alice krige ) be shallowly do and have no depth of personality and be hardly likable or draw . not even mädchen amick ( who play tanya robertson ) character fit into that description . however and a i have say many time before and when you adapt a stephen king novel for tv and you simply must take into account the fact that his book aren not write for tv and and his screenplay talent sadly lack the fire and depth he exhibit a a novelist . this be another botched attempt to take the magick of stephen king writing and whether that be of his novel or an original screenplay . to simply cut and paste his work onto the small screen . his novel get completely bastardize in the process and all you end up create be a nice movie while nothing less but certainly nothing more . his screenplay be hit and miss . unfortunately and this screenplay translation be a miss . sorry and sorry and sorry movie . this movie get a 1. negative from . the fiend represent .
