Watchers Reborn is the 1998 sequel to the horror film Watchers. Starring Mark Hamill, the film is loosely based on the novel Watchers by Dean Koontz. Ever since he lost his wife and son in a devastating fire, Detective Jack Murphy has wandered around life in a fog. But he is forced to face his terrifying memories when his partner Gus is killed in a mysterious slaying. Killed in a manner too brutal to be human, too clever to be animal, the only clues to Gus's death are a vagabond golden retriever and Dr. Grace Hudson , the beautiful scientist who seeks him out. Dr. Hudson tells Jack that... Einstein, the dog, is actually one half of a super-secret government experiment. With an IQ of 140, the dog was designed as a tracker for a genetically engineered killing machine known as the Outsider. Jack and Grace must stop the Outsider from killing again while preventing Lem Johnson and the NSA from terminating the experiment killing everyone who has knowledge of its existence. But how do you stop a creature genetically predestined for murder? The sequel did not receive the benefit of a theatrical release that the original did.
