The Watchers opens with promise but fades fast. The setup hints at mystery and tension, but the execution is sluggish and scattered. Characters make baffling choices, the lore feels undercooked, and the scares never land with impact.
There’s atmosphere and potential in the concept, but the film keeps circling without ever finding a satisfying point.
A slow spiral of wasted ideas that leaves more frustration than fear.
