    Description of The Tommyknockers:
    The Tommyknockers is a TV miniseries based on Stephen King's 1987 novel. An alien spacecraft has been buried beneath the Burning Woods near the small rural New England community of Haven for millions of years, but has now by chance been unearthed by Bobbi (Marg Helgenberger) while digging around in the woods behind her house. The structure in the woods begins to exert a glowing-green influence on the town, causing the people to invent Rube Goldberg-like gizmos, develop the gift of telepathy, lose their teeth, and form a hive-mind mentality bent on digging up the ship and revivifying the desiccated aliens within. Luckily, Bobbi's significant other is an alcoholic poet (Jimmy Smits) who needs to learn to face his fears. He also has a metal plate in his head that prevents the hive-minders from reading his thoughts and makes him immune to the neon-green influence of the aliens. Ultimately, it's up to him to save the day. Although the acting is topnotch, especially from Smits and Helgenberger, and there are plenty of gooseflesh moments, there are also enough plot holes here to fuel a very long and enjoyable evening's conversation. Why do the aliens start in at this time, when they've been causing legends in the woods for ages? Where does an alien ship buried for ages get all that dry ice? How does the Smits character make a living as a poet? One suspects that King's fine sense of New England characterizations is given short shrift here, and that the woods in his mind teem with more alien thoughts than the TV miniseries form could embody. Welcome appearances by congenial actors abound, notably Joanna Cassidy, E.G. Marshall and Robert Carradine. And there's a slutty postal letter-carrier played authentically by Traci Lords. --Jim Gay

    The Tommyknockers Reviews:
    Best Horror 5 Star Review
    2008-09-10 - "The Tommyknockers" by Stephen King is one of the greatest movies. It will certainly give you the chills.

    A whole new meaning to battery powered... 5 Star Review
    2008-05-29 - 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.

    OK, Not Great 3 Star Review
    2008-03-19 - Movie was different in some respects from the book, but you have to expect that..I guess. I was left shaking my head, but still thought the movie was OK. It was a step above Sleepwalkers which was weak.

    Tommyknockers are here 5 Star Review
    2008-03-19 - This film is very enjoyable to anyone with an interest in Science Fiction. It is a typical Stephen King classic,

    From a Stephen King Fan 3 Star Review
    2008-02-16 - 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.
