It's a painly chintzy and woodenly delivered affair, but if you happen to be a fan of the novel, Part 2 is the Watchers flick you'd probably dig the "most".

Once again.. if you take this kinda thing for what it is, there is some fun to be had. Of course the monster is goofy, it's a fuckin Roger Corman production. The script is actually smarter than your average cheapie, it has a little fun with itself, just as the first did. If you were to pick this movie up at a rental store and think.. "my.. this looks like grade A stuff" and were disappointed when you got solidly B grade cheese than you probably shouldn't be on here commenting in the first place.

74% Same story as the first and slightly better, only, the guy in the rubber monkey monster suit moves around like a Ed Wood ghoul in a 50's atomic b-movie. Horrible.

As goofy as the first Watchers, but this one is better directed, edited, and acted. It's also quite a bit scarier, with some great sequences scattered throughout (like the sewer chase, or one Hell of an effective climax). Watchers 2 grasps at thematic depth which it simply cannot reach, so it doesn't really earn the pathos it demands for its monster come the conclusion. Still, for a movie designed to be watched on a rainy afternoon, you could do a lot worse (like Watchers 3 and Watchers: Reborn, for example).

You can't expect much from a sequel to a bad movie, except for more bad movie. It pretty well covered it.
