What to Know

Critics Consensus

Heavy on eerie mood but undone by an obtuse script, The Watchers can only hold the gaze for so long before tedium sets in.

Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) The apple does not fall far from the tree... But I wish that apple rolled down the hill just a wee little bit. Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com As imperfect as this hushed supernatural chiller may be, the demons it conjures up — both real and metaphorical — left a lasting impression, and that’s nothing to scoff at. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Adam Nayman The Ringer The Watchers is not nearly as cerebral; it's less a political (or showbiz) allegory than a fable about our shared capacity for change. It's a theme that's ultimately addressed so plangently that it has the opposite effect and borders on goofiness... Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Troy Ribeiro Free Press Journal (India) Thematically, the plot flirts with compelling ideas about identity, perspective, and the primal fear of being watched. Yet, these concepts remain largely underexplored as the film fails to dig deep enough. Rated: 2.5 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Akos Peterbencze The Screen An unpretentious creature feature that doesn't get bogged down by overemphasizing trauma, pompous symbolizations, or stacking up ambiguous metaphors for attempting to be more high-brow than it actually is. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review John Flickinger The Flick Pick (Youtube) The premise of 'The Watchers' promises an eerie, minimalist horror flick, but the execution in the second and third acts is nothing short of a cinematic crime against humanity, wreaking havoc on storytelling and entertainment.

Tom C Interesting and weird. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Matthew C Was engaged throughout, and the payoff was good Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Dragoon A below average horror film from someone I expected more from. The plot seemed fine until the middle and then the ending fell FLAT. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review David Not a bad movie. Could've been better but was decent enough to keep you guessing about what's going on until the end Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review FIREMAN BILL AWESOME MOVIE FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Oscar That was some lazy writing.
