Well you got a stupid miniseries based on a Stephen King book called "Tommyknockers"
Who in gods name thought of that name? Who knows. It takes place, in of course Maine, where it starts off with a grandfather giving a grandson a gift and telling him the stories of cursed woods.
OK. Then an adultery who works in the post office who is having an affair. Jimmy Smits is in this as well, portraying an alcoholic, who eventually goes off the wagon (I would assume being in this) after failing to impress a few people with his poetry.
He eventually flips out and ends up on a beach. A cop collets dolls, which one boy ends up freaking out over, thinking it would come to life. While the other cop is the wife of the cheating post man.
Eventually another character discovers something in her backyard that drives her dog insane, and she keeps digging it up. It makes her smart, the post bitch, the kid and cop of the cheating husband. OK.
The kid, who's grandfather gave him the magic kit, worked too well, making his brother vanish, and he ends up in a coma. Does the kid know? We never even find out, because they focus out more on the other characters. The cheating post pitch decides to kill two cops using a green laser from her...

This is ridiculous. It seems some scenes are just weird. Eventually it all comes out in the end with the final two main characters the writer and Jimmy Smits character finally figuring out what was making everyone in Maine so God Damn crazy (besides Stephen King's writing)
Aliens, well of course. And they find the missing child as well. Jimmy Smits sacrifices his life, taking the ship and him and blowing it into smithereens. And I think that's how it ends.
This story is freaking weird. I don't think it's anything like the book. Stephen King admitted he was high while writing it. This story was crazy from both his point of view and even the movie's. I don't know how these actors got back into acting after this miniseries. Well.... this wasn't the only paper cut of humiliation that Stephen King miniseries had to offer.
