The stoy centers on their escape from the deranged cop, possessed by a demon (well they never actually say what Tak is, but I’m going to call it a demon, and their fight to destroy Tak.  Tak is uncovered after a collapsed mine is reopened releasing Tak, the unformed, and uleashing its destruction on the small mining town.

David, played by Shane Haboucha, is the oldest child of the Carver family.  The story centers around his relationship with God and his desire to do good in a bad situation.  David is confused, as any young child would be, when his sister is killed and God asks him to rescue the others and destroy Tak.

Stephen King’s storytelling has never been better.  The duel between good and evil is great and so is the story line.  The movie drags a little in parts, but mostly this is a solid movie, particularly one that was released on TV instead of the big screen.  Solid acting and great storyline make this a movie worth renting.

This is a must see.  I would give it 8 out of 10 stars.

On their way back home during the spring break, Darry (Long) and Patricia (Philips) Jenner witness a mysterious person dumping something down a tunnel. Deciding to discover what was dumped down there, Darry discovers a huge disturbing hideout full of modified bodies. Darry and Patricia set off to get help, unaware that the individual is now aware of who has been down the tunnel. Darry and Patricia soon realises that their pursuer is not just a mysterious person, but something even more horrifying, who has more in store than they could possibly imagine.

As good of a summary as there is out ther on this movie.

Personally this movie is one of my favs – I especially like Gina Phillips and Justin Long as the brother and sister in this movie.  The second one was even better in my opinion.

My favorite part in the film is when Darry falls into the tube at the old church and finds the monster’s underground lair.  Too bad this also happens to be the worst plot point of the whole movie – if you just saw a man throw two things down an old sewer pipe that you were pretty sure were bodies – would you go down there?  NO WAY!  Oh well, I guess it is dumb crap like that that makes us want to watch these films – just so we can yell at the screen and say things like, “Don’t go down there you moron.”  Still a lot better movie than most horror movies.

My positives: Decent plot, great acting for a horror movie

My negs: Not enough nudity

Anyway I’d give this one an 8.5 out of 10 – how about you Toby?
