Starring Peter O'Toole, Rose McGowan, Joanna Going, Liev Schreiber, and Ben Affleck.
Dean Koontz adapted the screenplay from his own novel. Of course, the movie is a trimmed down version of the story (many characters from the novel are either removed or merged). A subplot, involving a man who killed his wife and son, is dropped entirely (no great loss, as it barely touches the main plot).
Te movie opens with the Paley sisters, Jennifer and Lisa (Joanna and Rose's characters) returning to Jennifer's home town of Snowfield, California (Jennifer is the local doctor there), to find that a lot of the resident have disappeared into thin air. Those that are left are all dead by unknown means.
Ben Affleck enters the picture as Sheriff Bryce Hammond, who is in Snowfield, investigating what has happened. With him is deputy Stu Wargle (Liev Schreiber's character).
It seems a mysterious creature is to blame for what happened in Snowfield. And only one man, a discredited author named Timothy Flyte (Peter O'Toole's character) may fully understand it,
I enjoyed this movie and think the cast did well. Rose McGowan and Liev Schreiber ad previously worked together in the first Scream movie. Rose would go on to play Paige Matthews, on Charmed, four years later.
