Enjoyable horror/thriller.
A super-intelligent dog befriends Marc Singer and Tracy Scoggins, and they go on the run from a monster called The Outsider. This Dean Koontz-based horror/thriller has second-rate creature effects, but benefits from a fast pace and some priceless scenes of interaction between Einstein the dog and Singer.

Out of all the WATCHER movies, this is the Dean R Koontz boo
what is there now...4 versions of the book. This is the closest that you will get. not the greatest movie, but more faithful to the story. The dog's performance as Einstein stills the show.

DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!
This movie was horrible. I've watched the movie and read the book. I absolutly loved the book. This movie didn't come close. It had nothing to do with the book, and I'm upset they even associate Koontz with the movie. His books rock, but not this movie. The monster looked like an anteater! Anyway, I encourage you to read the book, but please spare yourself from the movie.

Better than the original watchers
This movie was made the way Dean Koontz meant it to be when he wrote the book. It follows the book, and contains the romantic side, which the original Watchers did not. I believe this to be one of Koontz's best. ... Read more

Pretty good horror flick from Roger Coreman
This is worth at least 4 stars. When survivors of a worldwide plague, rescue a lone woman,they soon find out a shocking discovery:she's pregnant...and it's not a human! Now they must fight a desperate deadly battle against the ever-growing, ever bolder mutant. It stars George Kennedy and Andrew Stevens.

Not too bad, not very good, either.
Roger Corman-produced post-apocalyptic horror flick involves a beast running loose inside a shelter. Yes, it's Alien underground! Begins well and suspenseful, but loses all momentum by killing off the film's most likeable character (played by Starr Andreef, who's rather hot), and some poorly choreographed attack scenes don't help. Features mostly shoddy monster effects. ... Read more

Finally, a Phil. movie about USA that is taken seriously
To my great surprise, this is actually one of the few Philippine based films I've seen where Americans aren't stereotyped as ridiculous-looking cowboys with broad-brimmed hats and cheesy western accents. Many Filipino movies unfortunately include American characters and poke fun at them, in a pathetically inaccurate and deeply misleading way. But this film didn't, and so I took it seriously. Based on the background of the plot regarding American soldiers stationed in Subic Naval Base, this is a fairly accurate portrayal of the characters and the real people whom they were loosely based on.

Nevertheless, the story and plot are entirely fictional. There's definitely some romantic drama involved in this movie, particularly concerning an interracial affair between an American soldier and a Filipina. On the other hand, there's also some action and a strange twist of events as one of the US soldiers turn psycho and try to blow everything up. So in terms of plot summary, I wouldn't call this movie as ingenuous. The story is rather predictable. So it is largely because of this that I gave the review 3 stars.

However, I do admire how Filipino filmmakers have done a wonderful collaboration to produce this piece which I may say could generate some serious pride in Philippine filmmaking. The cinematography rivals that of the big-budget US films, and I know from a fact that much effort was made to produce a truly porfessional and epic scale movie like this one. So this DVD would be okay to have in your collection, if you are interested in learning more about the Philippines and its foreign policy towards the US. It's not a historical documentary, but it's a good watch. Plus, where else could you see a movie with beautiful Filipino actors and actresses as well as acclaimed actors from the US put together?

Remembering the P.I.
As a former Navy Vet who spent more than 6 years in the philippines this movie brought back a lot of memories. I left just a couple years before the base closure. While this movie was not 100% accurate some of it was right on. Especially the blackmail attempt, and the semi-accidental killing of the filipino. While I was station-dito there were more than several instances of Filipine Marine or locals and Navy or marine sentries shooting each other and worse. The women were very enticing its true many of my friends including myself brought home Filipina brides (16 years and counting). I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and will definately buy it on DVD. BTW if you are reading this and remember me for P.I... drop me an email. ... Read more
