I feel as if people like the (original) Phantoms adaptation more now, after a few years have passed. I remember the Watchers adaptation being dreadful because they changed the main character into a teenage boy, used the heroine's name for his mother, and changed one of the heroes into a villain.
There was an adaptation of Servants of Twilight that was sort of betterish than the other Koontz adaptations because Grace Zabriskie gave a great performance as the antagonist. But the budget was very low, so that held it back.

I hadn't heard of that one...

I love that title. I think I had the hardback once, but it snuck out of the house one night... So I never read it.
