The Watchers 4K 2024

Know that if you have the last name 'Shyamalan' in front of you, then the movie you're watching will not be without thisetopovorotovorotov of the year. Keep in mind, if you grab the awesome spoilers, it will be pointless to watch. It would be good if the theme was still roofless, breaking the brain, inspiring to exploits to spit on spoilers, but in the debut project of the lovely Ishana Knight Shyamalan so fabulous stuffing that cry and watch, from the outside, happiness barefoot on the carpet before bedtime. Filmed, by the way, from the novel 'The Watchers' by A.M. Shine. We haven't read it ourselves, so on the one hand I wonder if fans of the novel will be thrilled.

You'll see a short prologue, which should raise vehement questions. Then without too much fuss you are introduced to the main story, occasionally distracted by flashbacks of the main character. The girl gets into the Irish forest quickly, gets lost in it even faster, and meets a group of new friends a little later. In the forest is scary, unfriendly, creepy, cold. And with other people is not that scary, rather, little understandable, because after getting into a strange house heroine Dakota Fanning will have to show the 'goods', that is, myself, immediately. Answers intelligible gradually will be received. Show patience and diligence of the month.

Unfortunately or fortunately, in front of you is not a horror movie, but just a scary bedtime story, when the child does not want to sleep and he asks to tell something scary. Yes, it's slow-paced, tasteful and at times reminiscent of the 2004 cult (no?) 'The Mysterious Forest'. And while the ending of that papa movie did get interesting, Ishana Knight Shyamalan's Ishana Knight Shyamalan's is revealed to be somewhat mundane and subdued during the denouement, though before that there was quite an encouraging episode in the vein of 'Staying Alive' when the characters had to move to a new setting. It was mysterious this way and that.

Stories of strangers finding themselves in a confined space with extremely little chance of finding a way out are, as you know, pretty hackneyed. That's not to say that this approach hasn't worked for a long time, because no one has ever canceled a new fresh look and an unexpected perspective. Which is what 'Watchmen' (why 'Watchmen'?) adorably offers. At least the fact that the characters aren't headstrong dumbasses when you watch their actions and your hand gets tired of going up to your face. Ishana Knight Shyamalan's characters are likable, act understandably, but the picky thing is still the logic of the ending, which is so...

The theme of folklore is deeply woven into the plot, so get ready to immerse yourself in dubious mythology with stories of dark times. Mind you, the movie is based on a novel, so it could easily hook someone. But for us, darlings, much more frightening and exciting was the old movie 'Ritual', in which also who is in the woods, who is in the wood, yes, all sorts of creatures wander, but scary to the point of fainting be great. Plus we strictly worship there Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth and the rest, so the universe of the writer through the prism of Ishana Knight Shyamalan we are not carried away to stupefaction to mouth ...

Was it interestingly filmed? Yeah. How was the debut movie? Well, it's okay. Want to rewatch it? I don't feel like it. Is Dakota Fanning tired? Yeah, she's lost her childlike charm. Oluen Fouere is the new star of horror and thrillers? It's a possibility. What's the movie about? The evil that lurks within us, which sometimes causes us to do things we can't undo. Who are the Caretakers? Spoiler. Why do people end up in the cabin? Spoiler. Why was the parrot so necessary? Spoiler. Scary? Except for the cameraman who was behind the hut on a dark night trying to film the creatures. Anyway, we have to wait for M. Night Shyamalan's new movie.

In August. There and the world will decide whether it's a promising family or let him shoot only one.
