A police detective uncovers a conspiracy behind a case involving a high school guidance counselor, when accusations of rape are made against him by two female students.
David Allen Griffin is a cool killer- time and time again, he chooses a female victim, studies her for weeks till he knows her routine to the smallest detail, makes meticulous preparations using his forensic knowledge to gain entry when she's quite alone, subdues her and administers a long, torturous death. Joel Campbell got so frustrated by his failure to capture Griffin in LA that he quit the FBI, moved to Chicago and remains in psychiatric therapy, unable to function normally. Then he realizes, when opening his mail very late, that a new murder victim is Griffin's, and the killer send him pictures of her. Campbell reports this to the police, but is unwilling to join them in the search, suggesting Griffin is too slick and clever; yet he won't get out of it that easily... Written by

Dr. Polly Beilman:
And then blame yourself for the killings?
Joel Campbell:

Some might say, Keanu Reeves is not a good serial killer. But so what, he played his part well. I do not think this movie was that scary, but it had a good plot. There were even moments of some small comedy.
The Watcher is about a retired detective (Spader) who moves to Chicago. But he does not know that his "favorite" serial killer (Reeves) has followed him. Now, he has brought the retiree out of retirement.
When I went to see this, my friend said, now she felt like someone was watching her. But than I told her, do you really think Keanu Reeves would come out and kill you. I think that eased her nerves. Shouldn't really scare anyone, but definatly a bit nerve racking.
Rated R for violence. There wasn't really much language or blood to be found in this movie. Sexuality was far from The Watcher. Definatly worth a 'watch.'
