Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThough ostensibly a sequel to Watchers (1988), this movie is self-contained and does not follow the plot of the earlier film. The same can be said for Watchers III (1994) and Watchers Reborn (1998).
- GoofsWhen they first try the weapons Paul says to Barabara that only three shots can be held in the shotgun chamber so make each shot count. At the end of the movie when he kills the monster he uses the same shotgun and fires off four shots in a row.

Featured review
Too much shown cheesy creature
I still remember how I was curious to know how they could do a sequel to WATCHERS when I saw this movie on a shelf of the video-store. The curiosity grown when I looked at the back of the cover and saw a gore scene not included in the cassette (which has no real bloody shots). Plus, the movie was forbidden for people under 18 - where the first one (here in Italy) was for all audiences. But what I saw wasn't that good I thought. This is not a remake of the original directed by Hess, but a second adaptation of the novel by Koontz (a quiet good horror novel, btw), more close to it (except for the character's names) than the previous. But it's still very far from the book. Besides some changes (this time there's only a scientist who tracks the beast), the main problem is that the monster's look is very far from being scary and the director had the bad idea to show it completely and very early in the story. In Hess' version, instead, we don't clearly see it and even if this is obtained through simple methods (POVs. shaky camera works, long shots in the fog), it works quiet well. Here Notz tries a little bit to create suspense (the creature's shadow on a wall wasn't that bad), but stops quiet early, preferring to show a guy in a cheesy suit who moves like an idiot. As the previous, the most incredible performance is delivered by the dog - and I mean it in a good way.
I still wonder where that gore shot was supposed to be inserted in..
