Variety
Pic's virtues all stem from taking its genre imperatives absolutely seriously rather than condescending to them or playing cute. Even venerable O'Toole resists what must have been an obvious temptation to wink at his role, and delivers a solid, enjoyable turn. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Well-crafted in most aspects, Phantoms is finally more ambitious than satisfying. It also could have used more humor. But it can't be accused of insulting the intelligence of its audiences. - 50
USA Today
Until it coughs up a ridiculously convoluted explanation of why an isolated town in Colorado suddenly goes deader than a weekday matinee of "The Postman," Phantoms delivers the shivers. - 50
New York Daily News
Phantoms is fear-less. - 50
Film Threat
Hot Damn! A full-on gory (relatively) unpretensious horror movie!... Far better than it has any right to be. - 38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
For about 20 minutes, Phantoms, based on Dean Koontz's bestseller, keeps you guessing. After that, it barely keeps you awake. - 30
Washington Post
Sometimes in horror movies, bad acting is effective, its very woodenness contributing to the sense of robotic horror. That ain't happening here. These guys are just bad actors. - 25
Chicago Sun-Times
A movie, based on the popular Dean Koontz novel, that seems to have been made by grinding up other films and feeding them to this one.
