Why it’s HorroRated
The Watchers has enough visual distinctiveness to hold attention and Dakota Fanning gives the film more than the material requires. Ishana Night Shyamalan's debut shows real sensibility around the forest setting and the creatures. The third act doesn't fully land but what came before it is interesting. A debut worth paying attention to.
