- Let's discuss The Watchers, the directorial debut of Ishana Night Shyamalan.
Although the film is technically impressive, I had several issues with the writing and characters. There were many odd narrative choices and plot elements that were set up in the first act but didn't serve any purpose by the end of the film.
I couldn't understand the significance of the parrot in the movie. It seemed like the bird was supposed to have a larger role than it did. Maybe someone who has read the book can explain it to me.
Overall, I was disappointed with this film.
Have you seen The Watchers? What did you think?
Thanks for watching!

This was quite the mixed bag for me. I really liked the first two acts, I thought the mystery and thrills were very engaging. Unfortunately the 3rd act really went down hill for me. The reveal and “twist” just didn’t work for me. Great review
Perhaps the parrot was to represent a duality to where it should be flying free but humans keep it in a cage for their entertainment and occasional viewing "watching it" in much the same way the humans in this story are kept in the dark forest, often within the "Coop" by the changelings for the same purpose. In the book, the parrot (I think it was called Darwin) is eventually set loose to guide the humans out of the forest/situation and once it does so, it returns to Mina and therefore, back to it's cage and back to the original purpose humans have for it. This symbolism I reckon, is supposed to mirror what Maddy does with Mina at the end of the story (kind of). At least I think that is what A.M. Shine was going for. Anyway, I like and admire what you are doing with this channel and in the way you are doing it; hope it works out for you. Cheers.
Damn I was hoping this would be good lol
Saw it Fri night. We thought it stunk. Ugh.
I’m so disappointed I was really looking forward to it, it has so much potential and it sucks that it’s just a “meh” movie, I have being craving a creepy atmosphere horror movie and this looked like it could be the one but I guess I will keep waiting
Hello Kat's, How was your weekend, everything okay?
I was thinking of going to the cinema to see the movie. Do you recommend it to me, Kat's?
I hope you respond to the message 🙏🏻❤️
Hello! Everything's good! I recommend waiting for this one to come on streaming!
I skipped this one …..I wasn’t impressed with the trailer and it seems from your review I was right …I’ll probably watch it when it streams-josh
Thanks for watching! Yes, I think that was the right call!
I thought it lacked a lot of things. First, the middle part of this movie was very boring. I don't think the plot was well planned out at all. First of all, the professor's office and all his work being available and untouched due to some university deal is absolutely ridiculous and more fantasy than the fairies. That concept was almost like the story was planned out, a plot gap about how his research was investigated in detail was noticed, and somebody went in afterward and thought "oh, wait, through a special deal his office is preserved." Very silly. And, the carpet was turned up an exposed the door to below On accident? Really, nobody would've searched around? Nobody would have checked under the carpets for a way to get out, they had time every day for it. Not very realistic. As an author, one tries to write faction where possible, this movie lacked a lot of "common sense." I think this director needs some lessons on how to build suspense. I thought this was worse than both Imaginary and Night Swim. Boring waste of time for me.
movies nowadays upset me, i have not watched a full horror movie since wow i cannot remember. oh but it was a straight-to-video Deadstream. in her defense i think people's expectations were too high
Yeah, the state of mainstream films the past several years has been pretty sad.
I agree that there’s a lot of unfair expectations being put on her. Especially the idea that she needs to follow her father’s footsteps. I think she definitely has potential to grow into her craft.
Did you enjoy Deadstream? I haven’t seen it!
So many dissapointments these past couple months. The strangers chapter one and now this💔
I know! Holding out hope for Maxxxine and Longlegs next month! 🙏
This was one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen and Ive seen a lot .....not one good thing about it
