2.0 out of 5 stars STILLBORN, July 30, 2004

By	Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Watchers Reborn (DVD)

Here's what's right with this movie:
1. The dog who plays Einstein.
Here's what's wrong with this movie:
1. The Outsider is obviously an actor in a monster suit and it harkens back to the days of inferior monster movies.
2. Mark Hamill is woefully miscast and gives a performance that is unbelievably bad.
3. There is no tension or suspense in the direction of John Carl Buechler, who also "created" the monster suit.
4. Dean Koontz has not been very successful in the adaptations of his novels; he needs to find someone who can really get into and understand them a lot better.
Final summary:
Read the book and forego this corker.

3.0 out of 5 stars Watchers Reborn. WOW! What a cool movie., January 1, 1999

By A Customer

Watchers Reborn is without a doubt the best of the Watchers series. It's closely related to the book, which I have read and loved. The Outsider was the best-looking Outsider of the series. The Outsider costume was very realistic, and I liked the Outsider's personality. This new Outsider was much more vicious then the first Outsider which up until now was the best one of the series. You could really feel sorry for this Outsider because you could see the torture it had been put through. One of the things that I thought was a big improvement to the Outsider was its ability to speak, which was something he did at the very end of the book. This Outsider killed more brutally than any of the other Outsiders. It was also bigger than any of the other Outsiders. It caused total choas at Banodyne. The ending was completely different than the other movies. The Outsider reached the next step in its evolutionary course. The Outsider became an independent creature, no longer controlled by the urge to kill or the hatred for Einstein. You could say it had a change of heart. Up until now I thought the first Watcher film was the best because of its story, and the viciousness of the Outsider. In the first Watcher film the Outsider wasn't even called the Outsider. It was called O.X.C.O.M. I forgot what it stands for. I prefer the name Outsider becouse it sounds so much more mysterious, don't you agree? This new Outsider had the scariest eyes. No pupils, just blank white. Very creepy. And another new aspect about the Outsider is that all it really wants is some positive attention, instead of being locked up in a cage and being shot at with stun guns. I won't tell you everything about this new Outsider, you'll have to watch the movie for yourself. So check it out. I hope you like the movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars BORING..., September 18, 2000

By	"cuddle3392" (OHIO) - See all my reviews

HOW MANY TIMES ARE THEY GOING TO KILL OFF THE OUTSIDER? I THINK THEY OUGHT TO JUST STICK TO THE ORIGINAL AND MAKE IT A 4 TO 6 HOUR MOVIE WITH ALL THE DETAILS OF THE BOOK AND LEAVE OUT ALL THIS EXTRA GARBAGE.
