??Watchers??

I think that was the name of it anyway...super intelligent kinda dog....some kinda fucked up beast thing after it and the main character...I remember I liked it.
I've also seen (but not watched) like two sequels on the shelves at least....
So anyone seen any of them?

Actually..Watchers and Watchers II...are the SAME story based on Dean Koontz book...The first movie was so far off from the book, that I honestly believe that the second movie was made just in order to get back to the original story...So, they don't really follow each other very well...However...The book is better than both of the movies put together

Awesome, awesome book. one of Koontz's best.



Terrible, Terrible movie. How the hell do you turn a middle-aged man into 16 year old corey haime?

At least fate got him back, he's a damn druggie these days.

The book is Koontz's best, however I think Stephen King is a far superior writer. The movies....well....let me put it this way. I'd watch a Golden Girls marathon on Lifetime before I'd sit through that shite again!

At least the "Phantoms" MOVIE was somewhat like Koontz's book...Unlike the "Watchers" movie...BTW...I really liked Phantoms...The movie AND the book:)

Ugh... Sorry br, but Phantoms the movie SUCKED. Ben afflek cant lead a movie. Sorry, he just cant.

Koontz cant have a good movie based on one of his books to save his life...

But...I'm biased...I love Dean Koontz:p ...I'd also buy that "laundry list" of Stephen King's that everyone keeps talking about:)
