The Watchers: Revelation

Mr. Dallis should stop now and never write, direct or produce anything again. Period. The acting in this travesty is nothing short of a grammar school play. I have no idea how a director could watch this taking place and be happy with it. There is no single pretender in this flick that could be called an actor. The story could be ok, if you can get past all the rest. Anyone rating this above two stars should never do another movie review.

While not my cup of tea in genres, I caught this flick with a friend who is really into Evangelical Christian doomsday themes. The storyline takes a pretty much standardized evangelical twist on the popular subject of extraterrestrials. Here, the assumed aliens are presented as actually being nefarious minions of Satan that try to dupe mankind into believing they are anything but that. The plot is actually somewhat interesting, though the "science" terminologies used in the dialogue is somewhat reminiscent of arcane 1950's scifi drivel. The film is naturally laden with lots of Holy roller overtures (understandable considering the genre), but what makes this one stand out from the others is the awful acting. And by this I mean every single person that had a speaking role. It was apparent the film makers didn't even try to cast someone with any knowledge about the skill involved, and neither did they care. This kind of disrespect for the audience is a sin in my opinion.

To put it bluntly, "The Watchers: Revelation" is a painful experience for the audience and one I never plan to endure again.

Great story and plot Low budget Terrible acting Worth watching, though!

A good story, but the acting is really bad. It explores the different points of view between extraterrestes and angels.

The christian over-, and undertone are evident. It seems like christian actors would at least try and be actors. The overall story is executed awfully. Seriously. Acting is bad, costuming is horribly off for the period they are trying to convey, and the subliminal proselytizing, which is hardly below the surface, is overdone. Terrible flick. Churches should be ashamed about taking donations to fund piles like this.
