Corey Haim meets a dog in this movie and he immediately feeds the dog a chocolate candy bar LIKE A TOTAL ASSHOLE.
Daily Horror Scavenger Hunt 4 - October 2018
Day 16: Based on a Dean Koontz story.
I forgot that I'd seen this before, which should tell you how memorable it is.
In a movie with a genetically engineered killer mutant sasquatch, Michael Ironside manages to be the scariest monster. And Corey Haim has a dog for all of five minutes before feeding him chocolate like a bloody twit, and then naming the dog fur face. The dog is actually the best thing in this, but that isn't enough to save this mess. Furthermore, despite half the town getting slaughtered by the mutant sasquatch and having their eyes ripped out, it's about as scary as a box of kittens. If you want to watch something with a clever dog, you're better off watching an episode of The Littlest Hobo.
Day 28. Garey Busey was born on this day in 1944. He was in Silver Bullet. I love that movie! So we shall watch any horror movie featuring any actor from Silver Bullet. (Yes, you can watch a Garey Busey horror film. He was in Silver Bullet. He counts.
I picked Corey Haim.
Can I begin by saying Corey and a dug.....of course!
That gorgeous red dog, and Corey puppy face Haim awwww. Damn right you can keep him, I'll fight the giallo eye fetish beast.
Some fun moments and some gob smackers.... I mean why would a grizzly rip a mans eyes out, she has a point but using the same logic why would a sasquatch?
Fuck friends that…
I have this deep sympathetic response when it comes to Corey Haim because I feel like Hollywood really scrambled his entire being turning him into another tragic case of child-actor-turned-hot-mess (this is nothing new and will continue to be a problem for years to come as long as the Hollywood machine is manufacturing child stars and discarding them when they're out of date, unfortunately). While through a majority of Watchers Corey Haim was out-acted by a dog, I think his natural anxiety helps him in scenes of high tension as those were the scenes he really shined.
It wasn't just Corey Haim who was being out-acted by a dog, most of the cast was incredibly ineffective with the exception of…
My Eyes Hurt When I Go Outside, It's Too Bright!!! (or, My Halloween Horrorfest 2018) Movie #66 (boxd.it/25cXe )
Daily Horror Scavenger Hunt 4 – October 2018 – HALLOWEEN EDITION Day 16: Based on a Dean R. Koontz book. (boxd.it/23GIY )
I read this book a few years before this movie came out in theatres and I remember being a really big fan of it. It was even tense and scary at a couple of points. When I heard the movie was coming, I was really excited to see it. But when I finally watched it I was so disappointed. It bore a passing resemblance to the book, but it missed out on most of the things I loved...except for…
guys I watched watchers, while I was watching it I looked at my watch and I'd only been watching watchers for only 45 minutes so there were still 40 more minutes of watchers left to watch
watch out tho you should probably not watch watchers if you like watching good movies but I will say there is a very good boy to be watched in watchers in if you do decide to watch watchers
This movie is not nearly as good as its premise would lead you to believe except for when the genius dog is doing genius dog things and then it's one of the greatest things you'll ever see. Unfortunately the dog doesn't do nearly enough genius dog things but still - the dog types out messages on a computer keyboard using a pencil!
Sehr, sehr gut gealterter Film, welcher mehr als 20 Jahre nach der Erstsichtung noch immer ganz arg viel Spass macht. Das diese kleine Perle noch niemand auf Blu Ray rausgebracht hat, ist echt verwunderlich.
A Dean Koontz story about a genius dog psychically linked to a manbearsasquatchkiller, Watchers has lots of entertainment value in the dumbness of its premise. It's a terrible idea for weapons development, but then again, I don't put anything past the US government. Most of the film feels very PG, not showing much violence (or the monster as well). Then the last act turns into a mini-Rambo, and we get some good gore effects. Corey Haim's performance is pretty terrible, and some confounding directorial choices stand out, such as a scene of Haim's character walking to school while voice over of an unseen conversation between himself and him mom plays. Really weird, overall. Might be a good horror initiation film for younger kids.

Watchers was the first Koontz novel that I ever read ! The movie isn't on the same level as the book, but it's entertaining and definitely has its moments !
The true star of this movie is the dog, who manipulates Corey Haim like clockwork and uses him like a tweezer. Yes, the beast always steals the show when Corey is in frame ! Michael Ironside is great and plays yet again a diabolical character !
Weird but true, when watching this film I did got a "First Blood" vibe. I think the combination of the police uniforms and the similar music did the trick !
There are 3 more sequels to hunt down ! The second one is with Marc "The Beastmaster" Singer, Wings Hauser is in the third one and Mark Hamill stars in the last one !
Einer dieser Videothekenfilme, über die man damals gestolpert ist, und angenehmst überrascht wurde, vorausgesetzt man hatte das Glück, die FSK 18 Kassette ausleihen zu können. . Ein wie immer fies aufgelegter Michael Ironside und der leider zu früh verstorbene Corey Haim spielen die Hauptrollen, unterstützt von einem süssen Hund, einem wirklich guten Score sowie einigen blutigen Einlagen. Ein sympathischer 80er Monster on the loose-Spass, der auch Heute noch zu unterhalten weiss. Für Fans von Genmanipulationen und Golden Retriever.
