Review of Watchers

Watchers (1988)
5/10
Super Intelligent Dog Molested By Corey Haim And Hunted By Sasquatch.
30 October 2017
Corey Haim and his mom find a super intelligent dog that has escaped from a secret research facility. The dog is being hunted down by a genetically engineered sasquatch called Oxcom- who has a penchant for gouging people's eyes out.

The trio are on the lam, while the men in beige from the NSO are trying to find them, so they can cover the whole fiasco up...mainly, that the Oxcom is responsible for several recent murders in town.

The dog and Oxcom are telepathically linked, so they cannot hide from one another...and it is so vindictive...it will try and kill any and everyone the dog has come into contact with.

So there's only one decision to be made: how to fight it.

This is based on a Dean Koontz novel (that I haven't read), but I can imagine people being disappointed by it's mildly cheesy nature, if they were expecting more.

The dog actor was lovable. But I was kind of hoping Corey Haim was going to sacrifice himself to save the rest of his family. Oh, well. At least he throat shanks that one dude. That's a nice consolation.

The sasquatch/Oxcom thing was pretty bad...which is probably why they barely show it for more than a second at a time throughout the whole film.

But it's still kind of entertaining, probably because of the dog. Yea. Definitely because of the dog.

5 out of 10.
