"Ishana Night Shyamalan's 'The Watchers': Promising Horror with Flawed Twists"
TL;DR Summary
Ishana Shyamalan's directorial debut, The Watchers (retitled The Watched in the UK and Ireland), struggles with clumsy writing and a lackluster performance from Dakota Fanning. While the film has moments of intrigue and effective horror, it ultimately falls flat with overexplained mythology and a disappointing final act.
