The plot isn't particularly original: a seemingly paranoid woman with a disbelieving partner. The storyline is uplifted by a good cast (Maika Monroe is especially likeable), and well-paced directing. The cinematography helps heighten the creepiness and the costuming suits the scenery beautifully.

Watcher is definitely worth a watch for fans of the genre.

My initial impression of this was negative because it starts off just terrible. There are clips about Hollywood which are a nod to Tobe Hooper's 2003 Toolbox Murders but are completely unrelated here. Chauntal Lewis is very weak in the beginning, but actually seems to improve as the film progresses. The script is initially nonsensical. (MINOR SPOILER) Lewis is hysterical upon hearing news of her sister's murder, and a police officer yells at her for being insensitive to his plight having to inform the families of victims. And she apologizes to him!

As her character's sanity breaks, the movie improves. Fans of gore and women-in-captivity movies should be happy. There are some enjoyable scenes making it worth a watch. I'd recommend watching Hooper's movie first to make it less confusing, though.

People who say this is the worst movie they've ever seen obviously don't watch enough horror. Sure the plot is silly, but it's passable. The acting is pretty good, and the cinematography and special effects are great. Plus you get to see a bit of Bill Moseley, which is always a plus. Try watching Coffin Baby if you want to see what a truly bad horror looks like.
