THE WATCHERS Movie Review **SPOILER ALERT**

[@sportsbyshayla]

“Mina gets home after several months and has not been evicted” lmfaoooo

[@kelley22189]

Bahaha literally said the same thing when I watched this haha

[@JMWilyat]

I’m convinced these two are the only honest film reviewers on KZbin. I literally feel like I’m taking crazy pills listening to so many insane takes from other critics praising movies like this and other equally horrible films. These two are refreshing in how honest and straightforward they are about the story and character details. Real human film critics uncorrupted by the system and not afraid to tell it like it is. Never change! 10/10

[@jaxpaula]

That's exactly the reason why I like their movie reviews too.

[@Beattherapist2deathinsexdreams]

I thinks so too. Them and Jeremy Jahns

[@darkduck3677]

Evers Prime Time is a great channel too. He reviews tv series more than he does movies but if you like these two you would probably like him too. I wish they would collab.

[@nikitamohan3390]

While I do get what you are saying about absence of integrity when it comes to critiquing art and stuff, there is a thing also called "difference in opinion" right? Like if they don't like or care for inside out 2 for whatever reason and many of us enjoy it, does that make the ones who genuinely liked it all liars and corporate slaves who sold our souls??? That's a bit extreme too. Joseph and Nick liked challengers and hit man and I saw some other reviewers calling those movies "too overhyped and too overrated". Doesn't mean these guys or everyone else who disagreed with their opinion all liars.

[@JMWilyat]

@@nikitamohan3390lol what? Did you even read my comment. I wasn’t saying people can’t have differing opinions, I was saying that these two are honest about story and character details in ways that larger KZbinrs are not. I don’t think insane plot holes are a matter of opinion. Also it’s valid to enjoy a movie that has plot holes or is intentionally campy, nothing wrong with that but that’s not the point I’m making. You can see big KZbinrs talking about big movies with almost no mention of the cringe in the plot and character development. It’s clear the larger channels are playing nice with big budget films and has actually led me away from watching many of those channels.

[@starbrand3726]

The Professor was basically killing his workers 13 at a time, and no one from the village said "Hey Professor, where are all those guys you brought into the forest?" The girl whose husband died sure doesn't seem too broken up about it. She definitely goes after Daniel. In the book, the Professor's office was cleaned out and put into storage. Which makes more sense than what the movie did.

[@rosemcginnis914]

What about period pads or tampons? 😅

[@rantuneplanet]

Great review. Has anyone said 'Like Father, like daughter' yet? The M. Knight family really needs someone to proof their scripts for logic.

[@AmarisFrede]

Some artists want the audience to fill in the blanks themselves and not bother guiding them, no matter how weird the plot might be. I don't like that, but I met someone who writes stories just like these and when I gave feedback that I found the plot hard to follow, they just said that's on purpose. "Use your imagination!" 🤦🤷

[@rantuneplanet]

@@AmarisFrede Good point. I write scripts, many with surprise endings. Before I show anyone I constantly ask myself questions about character arcs, dialog, plot points and mysteries solved to make sure I'm not making these same mistakes. Your inner voice will tell you when something is a missfire. Only after that will I let someone who I know will give me an honest review, read the script. As an artist, there are things to keep true to one's artistic self and then there is the side of the audience. You need to have a balance of both.

[@krystaln7455]

I think they need to go into syfy where anything can happen cuz they're losing the thriller touch.

[@SeekingGodsWill]

Nice to see Dakota Fanning back on screen. She was really good as a child actress, imo.

"Oh how I learned to hate the word!?" What! That's from my childhood. You're so funny!❤

[@SkylarTheWriter]

The book is waaaaaaaaaay better. Part of the problem with this film is that the first book is A LOT of story covering the months they're all in that cabin, and the movie tries to jam pack everything into 100 or so minutes. The cramming is so dense that they change quite a few items to make them fit, but the things that they changed certain plot points into didn't make any sense and were just to move stuff along. And the big reveal is so much better too. This adaptation should have either covered just half of the book, or been a limited series to truly get into the lore and the horror of it all. But the book by A.M. Shine is AMAZING and the sequel, "Stay In The Light" drops October 2024 (this year!).

[@krystaln7455]

I appreciate your comment cuz didn't know it was a book until this video.

[@MarcosSouza-rr5ns]

In the novel they focus on Ciara’s grief, their hunger while in the coop and their hopelessness. Also, everyone’s stinky in there 😩 It’s way scarier and more “realistic”. The CGI and the cheesy moments really turned me off when I watched the movie 😭

[@Taylorwintz]

I saw it today and made the comment to my sister that I bet they stink. Gonna have to check out the book.

[@Cassie00111]

the movie was totally unrealistic. Their clothes stay pristine, don't turn to greasy, dirty rags. Their hair doesn't grow. Daniel doesn't grow a big beard. Their teeth don't turn yellow. Their bodies don't change... no weight loss.

[@UmaMilkybitz]

The book was amazing

[@lilyespinoza9951]

The way I multiple times said “what the fuck?” Lmao and also “wait, pause.” Because IT MADE NO SENSE. Lmao

[@jjohnson218]

I like this movie. I comprehend most of it. It’s pretty much about past trauma and letting go of guilt, regret, and pain. (Foreshadowing) The main character Mina shape shifts into other people (wearing wigs, different personas) because she blames herself for her mom’s death. Once in the forest there are fairies that can shape shift into humans. The fairies have a grudge against the humans because humans locked them away in this forest . The fairie watch the humans to master what it’s like to be human, (ex the show “Big Brother” replaying over and over, interactions with each other). There is only one fairy that can do it perfectly. This fairy can be in sunlight, unlike the others that only come out at night. Reason is revealed towards the end when the fairy finds out it’s half human. As the fairy recollects on its bonding time with the humans(feelings,emotions, sympathy) it realizes it doesn’t have to be shackled down by its past and chooses to watch over Mina as s guardian while Mina learns to let go of her past trauma.

[@McCalley22]

[@krystaln7455]

Or just let the window down!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@jujutaylor2186]

Im confused as to how watching captive humans in a non natural environment is helpful for fairies. Like, why not set up a natural environment for them to live through so the fairies can see realistic life?

[@jjohnson218]

They would kill the humans on sight but because of the bunker they can’t get to them. The professor made the bunker and only brought bare minimum things that would entertain him and help the fairies understand humans. It’s limited because all the fairies really want to do is kill them.

[@e3vL1]

What bothered me was the car accident scene. Shouldn't the mom know to: 1. Passenger lock the window controls after raising it up the first time, 2. Turn on ac if its a heat issue 3. Pull over to talk to her daughter 4. Wear a seatbelt

[@brbaic9364]

What bothers me is how people think characters in films under stress are supposed to be perfect decision makers.

@@brbaic9364 well I've been in a similar stressful situation before with kids. I may have forgotten maybe 1 of the 4 mentioned. Not all 4. Plus I don't consider myself above average

[@Ravenpicks]

Strange movie. I am surprised that bird survived,

[@LuckyEagle640]

The characters in the box should have been unknowing halflings and that’s why they were drawn to the forest. And they each were off in some way. And the watchers watched them to see their differences and to prepare them to return to the world and take it back over. That would have made how weird Mina was make sense. The Shymalans need to have somebody else write their endings.

[@Lilboozibert]

I like when Joseph says the videos are too long cuz i used to base their opinion off the length of the vid. If i see a vid at 30 mins or so, they liked it. But now that's not the case 🤣

I just watched this movie because I saw you guys out a review 😭🤣 please please please review of a violent nature!

[@joshjacks2837]

What took me out of the "lore dump" in the third act was when Madeline said that the other faeries called her a "daywalker". I immediately thought of Blade, too. Also having the characters named Lucy and Mina made me immediately think about Dracula.

The Half Breed reference was ELITE 🔥

I hope the name Ciara is pronounced the Irish way in the movie (presuming the character is Irish)... Although the Shyalaman connection means all kinds of odd choices are likely.

26:35 because Madeline was a folclore historian and explained they couldn't leave the forest. This Madeline was a versión of them after all

[@tunedelaghetto]

**spoilers** I thought the first 50ish minutes was fine enough but once they leave the forest it was almost like i was watching a different movie. They couldve cut all that out and it wouldve been a 3.5/5 for me

[@emilymurdoch6713]

Agreed. I wish they would have left the ending more ambiguous. Like, have Dakota Fanning realize Madeline is a changeling, but leave it at that. She can't find her and she's out among humanity to either get revenge or bring back the time of the fae being Gods or, you know, whatever. Just leave it open-ended after the realization. I think that would have been better.

[@patrickcolantuoni1724]

Goddamnit!! This one showed promise. I should of known better with the PG-13 rating and the trailer gives too much away. Side note, the creatures from the film r based on irish folklore. As a huge fan of horror/thrillers, folklore from arpund the world is becoming its own little subgenre. Films like hole in the ground, the jinn, the hollow to name a few.. but if the viewer doesnt receive that info from a film well it kinda defeats the purpose lol! Great review as usual guys

[@phoebeandem8015]

ALL of this!! I made the mistake of thinking this was M. Night Shymalan, not his daughter and have been disappointed since seeing it Friday. I feel a little better since I usually find M. Night movies very interesting with all the twists and turns but this was not it. I feel like the this could've really been good but it just wasn't. One of my biggest pet peeves is after returning to their homes, it seems as if no one missed them. Was no one aware that they were missing? I know Mina didn't have a lot of family that she was close to, but did the store owner/employee not report her missing? If this is present day, was there ever a search? Her phone's gps should've shown where she was heading and where she lost contact. This movie had too many loose ends to be enjoyable. My 16-year old daughter claimed she liked it alot, so there's that.

[@tigerlilly9038]

"Not what you talking about Willis" 😂😂😂 . So all this "LOST" tragic shiggidy could have been saved with a "sit your ass down" over the back seat-mama arm swat?

[@dsbmitchell]

At 11:17, I half expected yall to say Dakota said “Marthaaaa” 😅

[@KesoUBEkerisik]

One thing I realized from Shyamalan’s narrative/story plot/ films - it’s like from the 90s quirky movie sets. Plain, predictable, and all you have to do is follow the trail of crumbs. Here’s the door. This is the scene’s window. This is where the villain gets slain. Etc.. You already know what you are gonna be expecting. Then again, we always get tricked because M Night loves the drama of unpredictability.

Was this a case of trying to change the timeline from the book, but ending up with huge inconsistencies? Also, I laughed out loud and groaned heavily when they turn on this 1992 PC and one of them says "is there a signal down here?"

[@FocalPointElisa]

This movie had so much potential. I felt the layout of the story and initial focus should have been shifted. Possibly to Dakota's character discovering she had fairy blood, and venturing off from there... Dakota's background was irrelevant to me, especially since it was all "unresolved past". 26:24 That part annoyed me 😄 I truly didn't believe they made it out the woods. The last 40mins reminded me of the series "From".

*Spoilers* I knew fairly early on one of the characters was going to be a watcher but was hoping it would be Georgina's character as she had already tried to sneak once and was having the hardest time dealing with her missing husband. Another interesting twist they could have done would have been to have Madeline discover she was one of the Watchers at the same time as the others when watching the video. The final act and the exposition dump made it seem more rushed and unbelievable, but there was potential to salvage this movie. I'm not curious enough to read the book but maybe I'll read the summary. There is no way something this shoddy is a faithful adaptation. Who knew such a mediocre movie would have lent itself to one of the funniest reviews on this channel? I was giggling throughout.

So wait a second, they have to stand for 12 hours straight? Were all four people security guards before they got captured? Because standing for 12 hours straight is extremely hard for anybody, even the most fit person on the planet, and some of them did it for years.

No they only do that at the beginning ad a preamble to their “show”. Then sheet they just live their lives. Sleep, eat, watch tv etc

I just came out of the theater. Interesting story, but the final product had more holes than the scenery. And it was a huge missed opportunity to cast the two Fanning sisters together. I wish the movie was 'based on the story' and made it make more sense for cinematic purposes. A lot of loosely tied symbology (twinning, spiritual and physical confinement, redheaded stepchildren, freedom and birds, prodigal children and the confinement of evil). Wish it was better because I love pagan tales. And I wish the two characters weren't so stupid. It was a 5/10 for me.
