Dakota Fanning Stars in Ishana Night Shyamalan's Promising Horror Debut 'The Watchers'

TL;DR Summary
Ishana Night Shyamalan's debut horror film "The Watchers," starring Dakota Fanning, fails to deliver suspense or scares despite its atmospheric setting and polished production. The plot, centered around Irish folklore and faeries, is bogged down by clichés and lackluster storytelling, making it less disturbing and more dull.
