[@AmityvilleFan]

Of your review I think is shallow, and doesn't even grasp the surface-obvious.

[@Man.from.the.90sgeneration]

It's a must see movie

[@user-pg3kl5zj3f]

I loved it :) great breakdown. The rule to not turn their backs was because if the watchers couldn’t see their faces they couldn’t mimic them

[@BrainPilot]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Man.from.the.90sgeneration]

Agree

[@MA1.5]

I knew something was up with Madeline because she knew the rules that weren’t posted anywhere so well. I didn’t think she was fae though.

[@_Zephster]

I originally thought she was the professor

[@jonfreeman9682]

I thought they were all human. But nice twist ending. What's confusing is if Madeline was half Fey then where did the other Fey come from to clone Ciara? That's a plot hole.

[@daughterofgodalmighty4927]

I liked the fact that it wasn't too scary. I wouldn't call it horror. It's a story about betrayal, anger, revenge, guilt and redemption. Beautiful. I watched the movie because Dakota was in it. She didn't disappoint.

[@BrainPilot]

Yeah she was good in it to be fair!

[@jonfreeman9682]

Honestly I didn't think that deeply as it's basically invasion of body snatchers. It's better than Alex Garland's annihilation with the same concept.

No shade to anyone who worked hard on this movie, but for anyone who was disappointed in the film, the book by A.M. Shine is MUCH better. In fact, "Stay In The Light", the sequel to A.M. Shine's book "The Watchers" is coming out in October! Please give it a chance, as "The Watchers" is a PHENOMENAL book.

​@@jonfreeman9682True like is really giving fantasy vibes

[@orlandoromero22]

Thanx will definitely get. Books are usually always better.I enjoyed the movie .

[@FatherJo]

Don't turn your back to the glass: They can't see your face, thus they cannot mimic you. Don't go near the burrows: Death? They lived down there, so going in kept you out of the light. You'd die. Opening the door after sunset: Same as above. You are out of the light, thus you will die. The rules were there to keep them "safe". Mina broke the rules because she was at a point in her life where she didn't care or was very brave, but she was extremely curious as well and wanted to know what the hell was going on. She wanted to leave too, so she broke the rules to figure it out. If she hadn't broken them, they would all be there still and they would have never found the hatch to the bunker below. I really enjoyed it. The ending when Madeline was in the house before the one character came home was surprising. I knew something was up with Madeline and I assumed she was one of them. I figured she was there to give them rules, so they would stay and the Watchers could observe them until the end. I thought she was in on it the whole time. Super fun movie in my opinion. Good to see Dakota Fanning back on screen.

[@spendingtimetogether8428]

Yup, I feel some critics are just being overly critical for that sake but overall it was a good film esp for a 1st timer (ok, I know she had a lot of help from pops and it's based on a book, still). Would be cool to see a 2nd movie.

[@meishot00]

just came from the movie theaters and this movie didn't dissapoint. I don't think it's too scary but the story is so interesting and the 3rd act of the movie really sold it for me

[@jamienicole2122]

I just saw this yesterday as well and I really enjoyed the third act too. I thought it was just going to be them trying to escape at the end and that would be the end of the movie. I really enjoyed the fairy/changling folklore and mythology in the third act, I was curious to see what Ishana Shyamalan had in store for us in her theatrical directing debut and I enjoyed the story and the movie. She did an awesome job, great first movie and I can’t wait to see what else she has in store for us. ❤😊❤

Great movie. I think the watchers were meant to be how we see ourselves and trying to change for others. The glass box representing how we present our untrue selves to the world.

[@BrainPilot]

Interesting!

[@comment__]

Please shut up

[@jameslambert7046]

I really liked theWatchers........the movie was scary, suspenseful,well acted, and had the obligatory plot twist that the Shymalan's have adopted. the movie had great allegories. I personally ultimately judge movies based largely on entertainment value and i found theWatchers highly entertaining. My name is Fred Twilight Shmeezer by birth by the way!

[@BlazedKiller308]

not rly horror I'd describe it as more of a creepy mystery film

[@atul6585]

The visuals (irish countryside), cinematography and Dakotas performance were good enough to lift the movie for me..

[@Psyduck_867]

I just knew one of them was gonna be the changeling. My first suspect was the old lady after she told her first time meeting one and taking her form and she knew just what they wanted them to do. And also the scene where she explained about changlings mating with humans (Though there were some scenes to throw you off) And the second, the protagonist after recalling how she liked to change her appearance to meet guys in bars and her fondness for the caged bird (like how the watcher liked watching the humans and maybe she didn't know she was changling). Some parts were really stupid though, i would have found the bunker within hours out of boredom. And who and how the hell even built that bunker, and where were the changlings when they were building it? The old lady even said she went there by choice so why didn't they even think of questioning her after they found the bunker? The glass didn't even make sense as they seemed to easily crack it when they tried so how did the professor even manage to study them from inside that? And also like you said, how did that bird became a gps? Maybe it's just me but I just couldn't ignore those missing details and mixing in fantasy with the horror was so weird. Visually stunning though and the irony of the watchers and the ones being watched was funny but

[@You-qt5dw]

Brother.. The movie itself explained the ending so clear that even a 10-year old could understand, was kinda jarring how hand-heldy it was at the end.

[@jonfreeman9682]

But what's not explained is if Madeleine was Fey then where did the other Fey come from to clone Ciara. So there's two Fey who escaped.

[@frankenviews4069]

The rules were made by Madeline. She knew what The Watchers wanted and needed the most. So she made "rules" for the best viewing experience.

[@duvetboa]

Does anybody know why Mina went to the forest in the first place? And why the others did to? I assume it was explained and I just missed it. I can't find the answer on forums and its bothering me.

Mina was the on the way to drop off the golden bird at the zoo. The road she took her into the forest. As for the other people I’m not sure

"The Watchers" is the debut feature of Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of director M. Night Shyamalan who is one of the film's producers. Ishana herself wrote the script based on the novel of the same name by A. M. Shine, achieving an interesting story that revolves around folk horror and a dark fairy tale, in addition to doing a great job as a director. The cast gives good performances, Dakota Fanning performs a magnificent role, Georgina Campbell plays a tender role with mastery and Olwen Fouéré demonstrates once again her histrionic ability and her Scream Queen skills. The cinematography work is top-notch, managing to capture a gloomy atmosphere in the filming locations. The soundtrack composed of traditional Irish bagpipes is effective for the story. "The Watchers" is a great film that plays with horror and fantasy.

Not great. Solid idea squandered in typical Shyamalan fashion. Twists pretty much revealed the second there was any set up and really insulted the audience moving into the third act.

She needs to act like one of them and I guess she does not know how to use a computer and maybe once you get trapped inside the forest in any direction other than that of the river, you'll never be able to get out. Madeline may have doubts about getting herself out but when she said that she could feel it while they were running, that's when she knew she could like how she could walk free during the day. It's how I see and understand it.

That was my impression at least. The Watchers makes you afraid of cloned beasts and Us makes you afraid of humans with no sense of humanity

Completely agree with your viewpoints. In my opinion, this movie doesn't have any logic or sense. Changelings? I never heard about this word nor there's any clarity on this. In the end, the ghost changing the faces was looked childish. I watched the movie in theater because of Shyamlan brand. Some scenes from this movie looked like Shyamlan's other movies The Village, Signs etc. Nothing great about this movie as the story is very weak.

Uh, changeling is a long known folklore term
