1.0 out of 5 stars VERY POOR QUALITY FILM, September 9, 2001

By 

Richard Myers (uk) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Watchers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Appauling from start to finish
Nothing like the excellent book by Dean Koontz
Im sure that they stuck Corey in this film because of his high
poularity at the time,but I heard that Haim seriously regretted
being in the film
This film is about as scary as opening a box of Coco Pops,the
effects are poor,The music belongs to an action cartoon,the other actors in the film range from boarderline exceptable to stand up comedian
Michael Ironside was convincing and Corey Haim was watchable
but only because he was popular at that time
Barbra Williams has acted in better films too!!
Give it a miss (for Coreys sake)

1.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Terrible, June 2, 2006

Never have I viewed a movie that strayed so far from the source material it was practically unrecognizable. I'm writing this review to save you from ever considering buying or renting this movie. I watched it because I loved the Koontz book--but this movie was obviously just a ploy to cash in on the popularity (at the time) of Corey Haim. The protagonist in the book is an man, not a teenager. Trying to turn this movie into a teen flick was a big mistake. Too bad they didn't stick with the novel and make a great movie, with great actors. The book deserved better treatment.

ACK! Please, I beg of you, don't waste your time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Campy at Best, August 20, 2005

This review is from: Watchers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Once in a while, a movie comes along like this. While one actor is slowing descending into the B-movie pit, another actor is paying his dues. I'm talking about Corey Haim and Jason Priestley, who are both in this movie. Somewhere between The Lost Boys and Me, Myself, and I, Corey Haim made a silly movie about an intelligent dog, a crazy killer, a blood-thirsty gorilla like creature and the late 80's punk teen caught up in the middle. I liked the movie as a child, but find it laughable now that I'm older. Any movie that has Michael Ironside gouging out a man's eyeballs with his bare fingers as least deserves some credit. Too bad they couldn't give the then unknown Jason Priestley a groady death scene. While running from the monster, he falls off a cliff and is never heard from no more.
