"Despite its quick dating, the movie is a slice of enjoyable hokum that can get by despite its dodgy FX work. Brosnan and Fahey do very well to deliver some nonsense lines with straight faces and the actors also give just enough to their roles to invest them with a little humanity that sees you genuinely caring about the final outcome... Director Brett Leonard may have upset Stephen King, Stephen King fans and CGI-lovers everywhere but he also gave us a movie that does contain some good moments and does actually deliver its central ideas quite well. It may fade into obscurity but I, for one, will still recommend it as a harmless diversion." - Kevin Matthews, Flickfeast
