Phantoms -
I finally got the chance to watch Phantoms. I read somewhere that this was a Lovecraft type movie. That got it on my list. The movie starts off pretty good. It reminded me of Silent Hill and I wish we just had the two women exploring the abandoned town for a bit longer. The town is a nice setting too. Perfect for a horror movie. But once more characters show up it loses some of the tension and adds a character that really shouldn't be in the movie. A goof ball type. I might read the book one day to see how much was changed for the movie. The premise is good and back story will make you think. I just feel that they added stuff for the sake of whoever watched the movie back then. And they could have made something even better with more thought. Still worth a watch if you like The Thing and other movies of this type.
