If Only 'Watchers' was Picked up by MGM!


Demon Seed was an amazing Koontz adaptation. It was better then the novel. If Watchers was picked up by a bigger company like MGM or Universal etc. Koontz would've been like Stephen King. But Roger Corman picked up Watchers and a crappy Canadian film was made followed by many crappy Canadian Koontz Adaptations...

Whispers (1989)
Servants of Twilight (1991)
Watchers Quadrilogy
Sole Survivor (2000)

etc. etc. etc.

If only, If only, After Demon Seed, another Koontz book was picked up by another big company. Blame Watchers. Blame Canada.

Watchers wasn't a bad movie. It just wasn't a good one.

There are some good Koontz adaptations, like...

Demon Seed
Intensity (Shame it was a TV Movie)
Black River (Shame it was a TV Movie)



Only 3 of Koontz books where picked up by Big Companies with bigger budgets.

Demon Seed (MGM, Warner)
*??? Has to be more then $10mil

Hideaway (TriStar Pictures)
* $15mil

Phantoms (Dimension Films)
* $6mill

The Husband is being made by FOCUS Features which is an excellant film company. That WILL Be Good!
