just once and i would like to see koontz work give to a decent screenwriter and director and and producer . just once . this be a good attempt by jean leclerc and chris sarandon and and an even well attempt by victoria tennant and but everything else be pure unadulterated garbage . the screenwriter should be shoot for bastardize koontz work this way and the director . please . the story be a well write story and but the screenplay be quite dull and unbelievable and horribly execute . the only element which work be the performance by leclerc and sarandon and and tennant . on a personal note and i really want this to work . i adore koontz novel and but they have never give them the attention and backing and and talent they deserve . if they put the same money into koontz work that they shovel by the barrel full into king and koontz would quickly rise above . but ala . without powerful people who believe in his work and i fear he will never get the chance . a an adaptation to the novel and this movie be a total suck fest . a a stand alone movie and it wasn not that bad and though extremely weak in many place with huge plot hole and terrible and stiff and unprofessional dialog which never should have make it to the final cut . this movie fail miserably to live up to it potential . have they follow the original work by koontz and a bit more closely and and invest a decent amount of production money and this could have be a far good endeavor . however and all i can manage to see in this and be how good it could have be and and wasn not . it rate a 4. negative from . the fiend represent .
