Watchers III

Oh yes, this third one was shot in Peru, executive produced by Roger Corman and has one of my favorites, Wings Hauser, in the middle of the never-ending war between mutant and mongrel. Yes, this time it's the deformed Outsider, which lives only to kill, battling Einstein, a golden retriever with an IQ of 175. To stop the monster, Hauser is put in charge of a squad of military men and criminals. Now if you're thinking, "Would Roger Corman rip off Predator?" let me just say that yes, he would. He did. And he would do it again. Written by the same man who penned Carnosaur 2, let me tell you, I will regret nothing on my deathbed except probably the time I spent watching this movie. Eh, who am I kidding? I'd watch it again if you asked with any nicety in your tone.

I saw this Sunday afternoon and thought that there must be something else better on... like bass fishing with no bass in the lake! Then I saw a commercial that announced that George Lucas remade the Poseiden Adventure (calling it simply Poseiden). I guess that was worth watching this unwatchable movie. Hey wait a minute ... I just realized that there IS something worse than Tim Burton's destruction of "Planets of the Apes" - WATCHERS 3... And what's up with 3??? Does that mean there were TWO OTHERS?!?! Wow... 1/10 -Zafoid PS: I have always wondered who makes films like these. They are straight to video, and then not even worth watching by anyone - including the director! So why are these made? Is this a "learning experience" for the some of the crew? ... the director? ... the actors? I just don't get it. Then again, why do I watch them!? :) -Z

this is like predator, and if you look in the dictionary the word "adaptation" you will see that the movies are a very ver exaggerated adaptation of the novel, as a matter of fact the first movie only retained some of the original names of the novel, but their background where too far from being the same, i know that to adapt something, means changing the product so its suits better the intended public (i.e a french movie trying to take it to the American market, its changed so it fits the American viewer) but the adapatations of the novel are far from being relevant, anyway it only sucks story-wise, but it has good action,and the telenovela actor Christian meier played the role of the outsider (who would had imagined that)

What, it got no Oscars? I wonder why? Well, I guess Dean's Watchers will never be made into a good movie... which does not really matter in this case, because it has nothing to do with the novel. It's YAPR (Yet Another Predator Ripoff). You've seen one, you've seen them all. This one isn't as idiotic as some of them (X-Tro 3...), but certainly not 1/10 as good as the original. Simply another below-average flick. Watch it if you can't get anything else, and don't have to pay for this one. Or if you're curious about the Watchers line and you're wondering "what are they going to screw up this time?". They didn't screw up too much, but they just didn't come up with any ideas.

wings hauser carrys this film. he takes over the character that marc singer played in the second film. basicly if you liked the first 2 films you will like this one. i consider this film to be a cheap version of predator.

One Watcher asked who makes these movies? Well who doesn't know Roger Corman or Loyd Kaufman, Full Moon etc. Also why are they made. Well probably because they are making money. What investor or company is going to want to invest in something that won't make it's money back. Yeah, they are cheesy and sometimes horrible, but they are still fun. When I watch a Roger Corman movie I know not to expect Lord of the Rings or the Godfather. I mean come on it's Concorde. Believe it or not there is a market for this or they wouldn't be hear. I mean dude Carnasour, Rapter, Deadly Outbreak, Cybervengence, The Outsider (which is basically a cheap straight to video remake of Westworld) When you hear the midi music that should really clue you in this is going to be a b-film. When you see certain actors that you know are considered washed up, TV movie or straight to video movie actors etc., when you even see chicks such as Shannon Tweed etc. you know you are about to watch a b-film.lol

Yet another attempt to remake Dean Koontz's novel into a feature length film is yet another failure. This so called sequel adds some elements of Predator into another tired entry lacking in decent special effects and suspense. This time around a group of soldiers fall prey to a monster that is linked to a super intelligent dog and kills off everyone in its way. Rated R; Violence.
