The Watcher

Using the "young, damaged family buys a old house trope," this movie adds the campy extra of an intruder who dresses up as a raven and delivers nasty notes. It isn't scary but it does have a creep factor.

The production values scream "made for TV movie" and the actors do a pretty good job, but this won't win any awards or keep you up at night,ñ.

The plot is unique compared to what I've seen before. It's a movie keeping you awake all the time, makes you think a lot and the end is pretty unpredictable. 10/10

Well, the acting wasn't bad; it was actually pretty decent, all things considered. The cinematography was good as well, although I feel the use of a blue filter doesn't fit well with a movie set in Los Angeles in my opinion. The reason that I gave this movie 5 stars, however, is that the plot twist is visible from the concession stand. Seriously, if you have a movie with 7 characters, two are the protagonists, it doesn't take Hercule Poirot to figure this one out. Still, if you are a touch on the easily surprised side, give it a watch. It could've done without the "based on actual events" bit. Thanks to Fargo, I'm forever jaded towards those words.

And we're all watching them ... sort of. Though this being a horror movie you can tell watching is not all that will be done. Actually in the beginning you will see a strong impact by the watcher. But this strong start does not carry over that well and we do get a mediocre, while not bad output altogether.

There are some fine scenes of suspense throughout, but if you've seen a couple of horror movies you will be onto where it's all heading. And the twists will not appear shocking at all. On the other hand, you have give points for the movie trying. And it is overall decent, while it never really touches the sky. If that is your thing, go ahead and watch this and have fun

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this movies. The acting was very good. The story was actually rather unique with twists and turns I did not anticipate, and I certainly did not expect the ending to play out like it did, not at all. I gave it 8 stars for several reasons, originality, creepiness, some jump scares, more than decent acting, definitely worth a watch. I noticed after one a the main characters is fromStar Trek, lol. More than once I thought I'd figured it all out but I hadn't, and it the time passed quickly enough that I didn't even notice it. The ending impressed me even more, I did not expect it st all and it made me think about it, even if only for a few brief moments.
