Synopsis
Watchers (1988) is a sci-fi horror film from director Jon Hess that you can watch online on iFILM. This Canadian-American adaptation of Dean Koontz's novel follows two creatures that break loose from a covert genetic-research facility.
Teenager Travis (Corey Haim) takes in a stray golden retriever and soon realizes the dog is no ordinary pet — it opens doors and spells out words with letter blocks, the product of a banned experiment. The trouble is that a second escapee got out too: the Outsider, a hideous beast engineered to hunt the dog and shred anyone near it. A cold government agent (Michael Ironside) trails them both, intent on burying the whole project.
The movie is unapologetically cheap, with goofy late-'80s effects, and that's half the charm — a sturdy B-grade creature feature that spawned a string of sequels. For fans of video-store horror and Koontz alike, it hits the spot. Stream Watchers (1988) online on iFILM.
