646f9e108c 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. A boy takes in a stray dog, later discovering that it is an ultra-intelligent runaway being stalked by a dangerous creature from the same genetic research lab. Based on Dean Koontz's breakthrough bestseller published the previous year, Watchers takes the same central idea of the book - a secret government agency is creating super-intelligent creatures. <br/><br/>The film proper opens with the explosion of a large government research facility. A golden retriever and a savage beast escape the facility. Another early scene finds teenager Travis Cornell (Corey Haim) rendezvousing with his girl Tracey at the barn at her house, before having to make a hasty exit when Tracey is sought out by her suspicious dad. As Travis starts to drive away, the golden retriever jumps into the back of his pickup. Soon after, Tracey is attacked, but not killed by the savage beast and ends up in the hospital. Here she is questioned and then kidnapped by two government agents who work for an outfit called the NSO. The more sadistic agent is played by Michael Ironside (Top Gun, Scanners, Total Recall, Starship Troopers). The agenda and motives of these agents actions is only partly explained.<br/><br/>Some early scenes involving Travis and the golden retriever bonding have a winning Lassie-adventure-story charm to them. <br/><br/>What is unfortunate is the radical shift away from a central theme of the book - individuals ability to find emotional rehabilitation through love and community.<br/><br/>The central storyline in both the book and the film - of super- intelligent creatures created to perform specific tasks, remains interesting. However, the film manages to fall into a lot of b-movie clichés, while ignoring many of the tense and compelling set-pieces of the novel.<br/><br/>However, if you like 80s horror, and/or Corey Haim and don't mind a bit of cheesy dialogue, you may enjoy some of what's on offer here. Anytime you take a novel in which the main character is a 30-ish man and changes him into an adolescent boy for the movie, you know there are problems ahead. If they had stayed true to this excellent, entertaining novel, life would have been good, but as they make some very significant, fundamental changes to the plot and story, I think it is an outrage to even claim that this movie is based on Dean Koontz's novel!
