Watchers2
11/21: I gave Watchers a favorable review because of Corey Haim's magnetic personality, but after his disappearance, this remake has virtually nothing to offer.

Instead, it's Marc Singer who tries to pick up the pieces and work with them but fails to be entertaining at the least. The action is dull, often putting me to sleep. It's only the Black Creature from the Lagoon going after the golden retriever. Did they use Glad trash bags for the monster?

I say Watchers II is a remake, not a sequel, because the story is basically the same; only this time, the word OXCOM is removed. In fact, the second part will be confusing to the first-time viewers because what's happening was clearly explained in the original.

All in all, there's no point to make a sequel if it will be Watchers all over again and Corey Haim isn't in it.
