Review
Tim Matheson gives an
industrious, agreeable performance as a high school teacher who returns
to his rural hometown and encounters the murderous ghosts of the punks
who killed his brother 27 years ago. In many ways a classic Stephen
King story, with familiar elements such as small-town stereotypes and
social mechanisms, menacing cars, and – obviously – some dabbling in the
interface between life and death. The film is nicely structured, with a
useful basic premise and a well thought-out back story, but it's not as
engaging as King's best horror stories. It lacks mystique. The stylized
antagonists look and act more like characters from a Michael Jackson
video than like genuinely scary apparitions. Made for TV.
