Watchers II is a 1990 sequel to the Canadian horror film Watchers. Starring Marc Singer and Tracy Scoggins, the film is loosely based on the novel Watchers by Dean R. Koontz.

[edit] Plot

Based on the best-selling Dean R. Koontz novel, Watchers II continues the terrifying saga of two genetically altered life forms turned loose. One is a super intelligent golden retriever with an uncanny ability to communicate and reason. The other is a hybrid monster, a non-human assassin created to track the dog and destroy all who come in contact with it. The golden retriever finds and befriends a fugitive from the Marine Corps (Marc Singer). The clever dog prompts the Marine Captain to call an animal psychologist from the top secret lab where the genetic manipulation occurred. Together with this trusted psychologist (Tracy Scoggins), they attempt to elude the murderous monster and the gory trail of death closing in on them.

[edit] Release

The sequel did not receive the benefit of a theatrical release that the original did. Instead, the film went straight-to-video. Both this film and the original were released on a double feature DVD by Artisan Entertainment in 2003.
