About this movie

A heart-stopping, edge-of-your-seat thriller with a hot cast of rising stars, PHANTOMS is the latest from master of suspense, Dean Koontz! Five lone survivors in a devastated town must face the unthinkable: a ferocious force of evil lying below the earth for centuries has surfaced with the power to destroy every human being! Left behind are two sisters, the town sheriff (Academy Award ®-winner Ben Affleck, GOOD WILL HUNTING), his deputy (Liev Schreiber, SCREAM 2), and a noted tabloid journalist (Peter O'Toole). You're in for a pulse-pounding experience as the survivors race to stop this terrifying threat before it wipes humankind off the face of the earth!

Ratings and reviews

A 13% score on rotten tomatoes is on point.This movie is trash and even has the nerve to hint at a sequel I don't think ever happened. You would be very foolish to think that the cast could save this movie. It said it was based off a book that I haven't read so maybe that's why I disconnected with this. Liev schreiber is one of my favorite actors right now and he's just awful in this role, funny how he doesn't speak about this at all.

People who give this movie 1 star have terrible opinions of movies. They clearly have not seen a lot of films. This is almost exactly like the book in the beginning. It does its own thing but if you like John Carpenters The Thing, Stephen Kings It story or The Blob 1988. It will satisfy some of those cravings in each of those movies. So if you like stories about things that have been on earth for eons that make people melt. Id check it out.

I put myself in the situation very scary. Liked it a lot.
