Storyline
Watchers Based on a novel by Dean Koontz. A boy takes in a stray dog, later finding out that its an ultra-intelligent runaway from a genetic research lab. Unknow to him, the dog is being stalked by another escaped creature thats not quite so friendly.
Slightly Underrated
Watchers If you went into watching this movie thinking it was going to be an exacting adaptation of the great novel, well, you apparently haven’t learned your lesson. Because this is almost never the case, especially movies from this era.
I will judge it for what it is: a B-horror starring an early Corey Haim, still in his prime. There is plenty to like about the film, including some of the gore and terror sequences. Corey Haim’s acting is still spot on and sharp (on of his last), and the movie does flow very well. It is an easy film to digest. There are frights aplenty, if you are prone to it. If you are a critical horror fan, you’ll find the gore to be well-done, and the film amusing – so long as you don’t judge it by the standards of the book.
Having said all that, there are some down sides to it: Some highly inane, and poorly written dialog at times. Also, the film itself, could stand to be spruced up. They could’ve also tightened up some of the editing.
As far as B-horror fare goes, I recommend it.
Highly watchable
