Editorial Review:
Desperate for work, troubled high school teacher Jim Norman (Tim Matheson) relocates his family to his rural hometown after procuring a much-needed job there. Once home he must relive and confront a childhood nightmare: the high school hoodlums who murdered his older brother in a tunnel ambush, and were killed themselves by an oncoming train, are slowly rising from the grave to finish the job by killing Norman. The ghostly hooligans, who appear as flesh and blood to students, start "transferring" into school when some of Norman's students mysteriously perish; however their phantom, fire-spitting car is invisible to all but their victims. Suspicion for the inexplicably rising student-body count soon falls squarely on Norman, who must find a way to protect his wife and son from danger, vanquish the supernatural hoods, and cast off the shackles of his past. It's a fairly straightforward plot with some obvious elements, but Matheson and his supporting cast (including wife Brooke Adams) create a suspenseful, fear-inducing atmosphere under the able direction of Tom McLoughlin from a screenplay adaptation by Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal. --Bryan Reesman

Rating:  - It's Mueller Time!!
"Sometimes They Come Back" has every you look for in a Horror movie, storytelling and rough intense emotion! The only problem is the acting in someparts! Mostly during the classroom scenes and the main character Jim Norman(Tim Matheson). Jim Norman a lunatic because most of the movie that dude either screams or throws himself into situations of stupidity. But the whole story is fantastic! Take a chance and buy it! its cool!

'Sometimes they Come Back' was a 1991 film based on a short story by Stephen King. It was filmed for TV and is a personal favourite. It is about a school teacher (Tim Matheson) who returns to his hometown to teach at a school. He has reservations about doing this because of a tragedy which occurred many years before. The movie has a real feel of eeriness about it, and while far fetched at times, is credible because of the way a person's mind can be affected by unresolved past issues. Definitely worth ...

Rating: - Sometimes They Come Back...to polish the story.
Let not my review be biased because Vinnie Vincent (Vinnie "The Viper" Corey in the story) is HOT!!!!!!!!! I have found my love for 50s Greasers! But that aside, the movie had a simple, ghostly plot but had some careful planning and creepy scenes. Fun, funny, hip, and horrific. With little violence and no sexual content, this film has your basic ghostly feel. Creative with likeable, believable characters. Sorry Stephen King, but this movie did improve your version (found in "Night Shift").
