Summary: Coud have been worse.
Comment: But I don't see how. This film is not even close to the great thriller novel that Dean Koontz wrote. I am reading the Koontz novel for perhaps the fifth time, and enjoying it as much the first time. I watched the movie once, and that was one time too many. The only similarity I can see between the two is the Golden Retreiver.

I would like to see a remake that is actually based on the novel as Dean Koontz wrote it.

Summary: One of my favorites!
Comment: I LOVE this movie. And YES, it IS a teen horror movie from the 80's using Corey Haim's popularity! That's the point. I love Dean Koontz books also and this is definitely different from the book, but for what it is, it's great! I loved this movie as a kid, and I still have all the lines memorized.

Summary: Beyond Terrible
Comment: Never have I viewed a movie that strayed so far from the source material it was practically unrecognizable. I'm writing this review to save you from ever considering buying or renting this movie. I watched it because I loved the Koontz book--but this movie was obviously just a ploy to cash in on the popularity (at the time) of Corey Haim. The protagonist in the book is an man, not a teenager. Trying to turn this movie into a teen flick was a big mistake. Too bad they didn't stick with the novel and make a great movie, with great actors. The book deserved better treatment.

ACK! Please, I beg of you, don't waste your time.

Summary: Campy at Best
Comment: Once in a while, a movie comes along like this. While one actor is slowing descending into the B-movie pit, another actor is paying his dues. I'm talking about Corey Haim and Jason Priestley, who are both in this movie. Somewhere between The Lost Boys and Me, Myself, and I, Corey Haim made a silly movie about an intelligent dog, a crazy killer, a blood-thirsty gorilla like creature and the late 80's punk teen caught up in the middle. I liked the movie as a child, but find it laughable now that I'm older. Any movie that has Michael Ironside gouging out a man's eyeballs with his bare fingers as least deserves some credit. Too bad they couldn't give the then unknown Jason Priestley a groady death scene. While running from the monster, he falls off a cliff and is never heard from no more.

Summary: It's not that bad
Comment: I just watched this movie & the only thing I didn't like about it was it was too dark. For a horror movie it wasn't bad at all. If you like horror movies & don't want to buy it, rent it first just to check it out. Then if you like it, buy it. You can get it for a low price on Amazon.com.
