jblakely-3 I Loved this movie & want to but it ASAP!!!! I saw this movie on TNT and have been looking to buy ever since. It is scary, almost as intense as the Book which I could not put down. Screen version a little different but still fantastic!!!! I called my sisters to let them know this movie was on. We are all big Dean Koontz fans. If you have never read Dean Koontz this is a good book to start with. Molly Parker the actress who played Chyna Shepard draws you in with her vulnerability and strength. You cannot have a good thriller without a great villain. John McGinley is breathtaking as Edgler Vess! Completely captures your attention by creating an intense character in Edgler making him larger than life! The range of emotions you feel for Ariel, along with the extreme level of terror and then exhilaration is exquisite. This is a must see movie I must have this movie. Can you let me know where I can buy this? Thanks JBLAKELY-3

XxUnknownxX I read the book Intensity a long time ago and had no idea that there was a TV movie made out of it. I thought I would have no chance of seeing it, being as that it was made in 97' and probably not on DVD. But then today when I was flipping through On Demand I saw it in the free section. Cool beans, right? Maybe not so much.As the movie started I came close to stopping it and walking away several times. The first 20 minutes or so is just sooooo asinine. The movie makes a very poor attempt at trying to get you to like the characters that you know are going to die in about 5 minutes, and to try and foreshadow, but fails at it miserably. Pretty much through this entire movie I didn't give two cence about any of the characters.Now, once the killing started happening I was sorely disappointed. The big scene were Vess kills the family that took like a hundred pages in the book is over in about five minutes, and there is no intensity at all. It's pretty much Chyna hides under bed, Vess comes in, annoying music plays, she breaths really hard, he leaves, she runs around the house really loudly and finds all the dead people and freaks out, etc. etc.After the leave the house Chyna hides in with the killer in his RV and they go barreling down the highway. He stops at the gas station and we finally get to see who he is: it's that funny doctor guy from Scrubs...trying to be a psychotic serial killer...no. Almost all the reviews I've read have praised his performance, but I don't think that there's anyone worse they could have picked to play except for Jim Carrey. I was never once afraid or intimidated by Vess. He did not act like a cool collective serial killer, he acted like a giddy school boy squishing bugs the entire movie. I could have kicked his ass, and I'm a real wimp. Plus how is it that he does not take any precautions while killing people, yet has never been caught? Chyna is also a piece of work, like everyone else has stated she makes some of the most stupid mistakes that anyone has ever made in a movie, ever. The actress playing her did a pretty good job. She was good at being scared, being in pain, being scared and in pain.While there was a couple of mildly intense scenes, most of the movie was just dull. If you have 3 hours to kill or are a fan of the book or thrillers check it out, if not don't bother.

breel46-1 I loved this movie. I believe I saw it on Lifetime television network in 2004. Can you tell me when and where it will be showing again and the time. I am central daylight time.The movie was all the action, adventure, horror, and drama that I love. The actors played their parts wonderful and I was on the edge of my seat.I love Dean Koontz work and I remember in the movie that the crazy man was always fooling the girl. It was just like real life drama. It was so real that it was like being there.Thank you for your help in this matterBreel46

meatwad50 This movie was excellent, in my opinion. I am an avid reader of Dean Koontz and Stephen King novels and Intensity did a pretty good job of following the book. My only gripe about it is that I can't find it on DVD anywhere. I can't even find a videotape of it. I think that's because it was a made-for-TV-movie. Still, there have been many other made-for-TV-movies that have become available on DVD or video. Why not this one? I got my wife to start reading Dean Koontz some time ago. I promised her that when she got done reading the book that we would watch the movie. Unfortunately, I can't even find the movie on television anymore. This movie shows a really good example of an average person (Chyna Sheperd) overcoming her own fears with courage and a desire to make things right. Edglar Vess is just plain creepy and twisted!
