Starring Jeremy Sisto of Clueless fame as a serial-killing Satan worshipper, Hideaway is about as successful at conjuring up scares as the beginning of this sentence may imply. Koontz himself hated this convoluted adaptation of his work, which is a shame when Jurassic Park’s Jeff Goldblum has some corny fun playing the movie's hero. Goldblum is the...
Whispers was largely credited with starting Koontz’s career as an author after years of producing largely unread sci-fi fare. Unfortunately, this toothless 1990 movie adaptation fails to capture the novel’s creepy intensity. The story of a woman repeatedly targeted by a supposedly dead killer, Whispers boasts a killer premise and a stellar supporti...
Originally titled Twilight Koontz’s 1984 novel bears no relation to Stephenie Meyer’s infamously cheesy paranormal romance saga of the same name. Koontz's book, faithfully adapted as the 1991 movie Servants of Twilight, follows the story of a woman plagued by cult members who believe her child is the son of Satan. If that sounds like over-explored ...
1998’s Phantoms saw Koontz pick up a pen to script this horror mystery, wherein the small town of Snowfield is wiped out by an unseen evil force. With an intriguing premise, an ensemble that includes screen veteran Peter O’Toole, Ben Affleck and Scream standout star Rose McGowan, and Koontz’s involvement, this one seemed set for success. However, e...
Bizarrely (given how all-American many of Koontz’s stories, characters, and recurring themes are), the first movie adaptation of the writer’s work came from France. 1977’s The Passengers sees The Track director Serge Leroy relocate the action of Koontz’s simple-but-brutally-effective 1973 novel Shattered. The novel and its adaptation both follow a ...
Based on one of Dean Koontz’s most popular horror novels, the 1988 adaptation of Watchers can't quite faithfully recreate the magic of the source novel’s twisty “a boy and his hyper-intelligent dog” story. However, this fun b-movie from Alligator II director Jon Hess does boast an agreeably goofy ‘80s movie monster, a charming central performance f...
Directed by Performance’s Donald Cammel, Demon Seed may not match that trippy movie’s intensity but this tale of a seemingly perfect A.I. house that soon goes haywire and traps a terrified Julie Christie is an undeniably effective sci-fi movie. Memorable enough to earn a parody from The Simpsons’ annual "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween specials (whe...
Benefitting from a typically superb turn by the late, great Anton Yelchin in the title role, 2013’s Odd Thomas is comfortably the best of Koontz’s screen adaptations so far. Infused with quirky humor and a fast pace, Odd Thomas tells the tale of the titular clairvoyant who can see the dead and vanquish evil but would rather eke out an existence as ...
