This is such a positively dreadful adaptation of the excellent novel by Dean Koontz that it's a mystery why he allowed his name on the screen. The Matheson teleplay is completely off the mark, and the John McGinley portrayal of Yates is laughable at first and then so revoltingly stupid that it destroys the continuity of the entire story. Fans of Koontz' writing should avoid wasting their time on this insipid presentation.
