It's probably not a good film, but that doesn't matter. The science is absurd--admittedly gleaned from the stories in tabloids such as the Weekly World News.

Some novels seem like the perfect inspiration for a damn good movie. That is of course if you have the right creative team behind it. Dean Koontz has had a long career as a Horror and Science Fiction novelist churning out some exciting gems for the genres. But the movie adaptations have been rather tepid or complete misfires. While Demon Seed was enjoyable and Watchers was fairly decent, the rest of what came to pass were forgettable TV films or had no resemblance to the original novel (looking at you Hideaway).

14. Phantoms (1998) - Movie and Film Reviews (MFR)
May 1, 2013 · We enter with two sisters, Jennifer (Joanna Going), a doctor, and Lisa (Rose McGowan), who has no defining features but lives in Los Angeles.
I have been told by several people — whom I’ve never met but I’m sure are perfectly good people when not trolling around the internet — that Dean Koontz’s 1983 novel Phantoms is really good and that the film doesn’t at all do it justice. This is comforting news, considering the film isn’t terribly good, but I have to wonder why the author would want to butcher his own work. Koontz wrote the screenplay for this film adaptation of his work, but I’ve been told several key scenes were missing, and that the film has a completely different feel from the book. Weird, isn’t it?
