Yeah Faeries or Faes were considered malicious or harmful creatures in a lot of European folklore. So to base a horror movie around the original concept/mythology would’ve been pretty cool. Maybe some Indy director will look at the concept of this movie and then go make it the right way
@lawrencetalbot8346 my favourite illustrator growing up (Brian Froud) depicts gnomes, fairies and elves as rather evil with some more human looking faeries being kind, but there's all kinds like soul stealing siren swamp fairies and most fairies are mischievous rather than malicious.
"Before the war, there was humans and fairies living in peaceful symbiosis. We coexisted with the fairies together. But we feared their shapeshifting abilities, how they could become us. So we ripped off their wings and forced them underground and locked them under a stone. And now, they can't leave this forest, because we asked them not to." *Undertale ahh prologue*
@@GassyGoat In Western European myth, the faeries were horrifically vulnerable to iron - referred to in the myths by the Fae as 'Cold Iron' for reasons not well explained. Basically, the myths state that their magic simply could not affect iron or worse could be horribly distorted or deflected by the stuff. They were also supposed to be contact allergic to the stuff as well - simply touching one with iron would either cause an extremely bad rash or even terminal anaphylactic shock followed by disintegration. The myths also sometimes state that the Fae had severe problems reproducing and a very low birthrate, perhaps related to their exceptionally long lifespans. The stock explanation in fantasy/urban fantasy is that humans developed a technology base with 'Cold Iron' including swords, shields, armor and arrowheads then simply outbred the Fae, leading to the Fae having to run away as they could not muster adequate defenses against human armies or even war parties.

It went from not being able to ESCAPE the commercials, bus stop and train station posters or TH-cam ads to the movie coming out and a TH-cam review telling me it's bad before I even know it existed in the first place
actually, they were "cursed" to live in the island which acted as their open air prison, which is why they couldn't even jump at the boat. They even reiterated that point when the woman turned out to be a half breed that this is why they could leave without being affected (on top of being a daywalker) But yeah, the rest of the points are valid Specially the bunker. A whole goddamn bomb shelter, built by hand, would need a whole town's worth of men , if not MORE, and all of them going missing didn't set any alarms? And the professor had enough diesel to run power for.... a decade? a decade?
to be fair these criticisms should be given to the author of the book. I quite enjoyed the book as did many others, but the whole missing men thing was true to the book. Not really the directors fault
The movie changed so much sometimes unnecessarily, what they should have done is focus on a more plausible reason as to how the doctor got a power source to the middle of the forest

The bit about one of the characters being half fairy and flying off kind of reminds me of a high school short story I wrote during October for Writing.

I know Shyamalan's daughter made this but they both lack the fundamentals of telling a good story. It's unique and interesting and the reveals are fun but they ultimately amount to nothing because there's nothing good about it, no take away, no style or flare.

Which is a shame because a filmmaker who funds his own movies is something special I would like to encourage. I didn't hate this movie but I won't remember it either.

Honestly that's a great premise for a horror movie. Shape shifting slender men watching you to slowly replace you, sounds really good. But then you add the fairy war and just wtf. The less we know the scarier they are. Alfred Hitchcock had it right and we've forgotten
i feel like we haven’t had many good movies in almost a decade, i still find myself going back and rewatching older ones rather than going to theaters to watch new ones

0:43 those two leather chairs are from the Matrix when Neo took the red pill. not sure if it was a reference or just random recycling of hollywood props
From the start of the movie they made it sound like nobody has ever locked eyes with these creatures and survived which was complete BS. They never explained why they had to stand infront of the 1 way mirror. Did anyone get to sleep or did they just stand still like a stick figure until the sun came up? Also why wouldnt the one way mirror be the other way around so they could watch the creatures but not be seen?? At first it was a cool premise and then it kept getting wackier and wackier until I gave up on it
In the book it's explained the professor wants to study them but starts getting unsettled when they take his dead wife's face bc it's not perfect copies, hence the one way mirror could be deactivated.
I really enjoyed The Watchers. I know it’s not the best movie but it’s proof that real cinema is coming back and we’re not just stuck in an era of sequels, prequels, and remakes.
The funny thing is, that the fairies thing actually fits pretty well with traditional pre-kiddification fairy myths (except not in Europe). Read about the Irish Book of Invasions among others for an example, specifically the part about the Tuatha de Danaan (fairies/gods) and the Milesians (mythological first humans to live in Ireland).
I swear to God the premise sounds like Undertale. Humans and faires get in a war because the humans fear their shapeshifting abilities and force them underground. Sounds a lot like the Undertale intro.
Charlie's explanation of digging a whole during the day and coming back out at night is the reverse strategy of what I did when I played Minecraft. When I didn't have enough lumber to build a house, I'd dig a whole and put a trap door in the ceiling to see when the sun came out so I knew I was safe. That's all they gotta do. Just stay out of the sunlight and they'll be fine!
That's what I was thinking the whole time. There such an untapped source of material for horror movie, but most people hear the word fairy and think of Tinkerbell apparently. I would love a Kelpie movie
@@dereklewis8914 This isn't a movie, but if you want to see a piece of media that's a modern take on fairies that's accurate to original folklore (aside from Guillermo Del Toro's films), check out the game Home Safety Hotline.
The concept of “the watchers” is a really cool idea. One of the horror podcasts I listen to did a really good job of it and it’s kinda painful for them to take something that has so much potential and absolutely destroy it.
@@rodrigofarias673 in fairness, three cleaner lady said that evil loves children, and children love evil so made sense that they had little demon kids in the school 🤣 And something something allegory for ruining the future generation and them coming back for revenge something something
The only argument I could make, without ever seeing the movie, is that classic fairies of European mythos are subject to the laws of hospitality. They will make rules to force people to follow and they will follow rules given to them. The one who disobeys a rule of hospitality first dies.
Something else that could’ve made this movie a hit was if they used creative and stunning creature designs for the Faeries/watchers. Makeup artists like David Martí, who worked on PAN’S LABYRINTH and Trevor Henderson who created the Cartoon Cat and Sirenhead deserve all of their awards and credits for bringing fairytale and arbitrary things to life in an unsettling way. Fantasy and horror is such a perfect mix but it only truly works if the creature design is fantastic. The Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth is the stuff of nightmares, even the Faun is unnerving despite being one of the neutral characters.
I always find it creepier in horror movies, when they give you just enough, they don't show the monster, and you know nothing about the monster because our imagination can make up some of the scariest things, but it's hard to portray that. just be ominous lol
Heres what I would do as a twist: They were all fairies that turned into humans and have been humans for so long they lost sense of their original selves. They would disappear one by one thinking they were killed then last survivor(s) escapes kills the fairies only to realise at the end they were their friends. Better twist than a Shyamalan I know but it did take me a whole 10 seconds to think of
I got so disappointed when it clicked which movie he was talking about. I was looking forward to seeing it. It's not a good interpretation. Yes, the book had plotholes, but at least it explained things! A lot of the questions he raised i was like "they didn’t tell you?". There were multiple things he said that I went "wtf that didn't happen" If you liked the premise, read the book! It was good! In case you didn't know, The Watchers is a book by A.M. Shine 2021.

"she was a fairy the whole time." it's not a shyamalan movie if there isn't something revealed to be something else "the whole time".
I really enjoyed The Watchers. I know it’s not the best movie but it’s proof that real cinema is coming back and we’re not just stuck in an era of sequels, prequels, and remakes.
Saw it last night as well and was hoping youd make this video. Some pretty funny moments
> Basic premise sounds cool and intriguing
> Plot twist ends up being incredibly dumb
Sounds like an M. Night Shyamalan movie to me.
Like father, like daughter.
Hearing Charlie trying to explain this movie is like listening in on a DnD session when you know nothing about DnD.
this a temu movie adaptation of undertale- the way Charlie described the spoilers XD
If I got a quarter for every modern horror movie, I probably would have enough to get a meal at Five Guys.
You got smacked with 6 bots. They’ve all been reported
@@jaxonanderson7220 reported them as well. Don’t know why people would create bots like that.
@sm64istrashlol congratulations.
It's all the same person too. Makes me miss the first bots because at least they made sense.
Shamalan must’ve just played Undertale and just decided to rip the premise and put it in a shitty movie.
its based off a book
@youfieua then the author of the book then. Unless if it came out before 2015
Yeah because people don’t have similar ideas am I right.
@UTTPMajorOrange wtf is wrong with you you need to be on a watchlist
@@alexashman5183ignore the bots, they are trying to get attention
The fairies thing makes more sense if you know Irish folklore (it sounds terrible to say) it’s set in Ireland, Galway a lot of folklore there
The funny thing is, that the fairies thing actually fits pretty well with traditional pre-kiddification fairy myths (except not in Europe). Read about the Irish Book of Invasions among others for an example, specifically the part about the Tuatha de Danaan (fairies/gods) and the Milesians (mythological first humans to live in Ireland).
This movie is based off a book by the same name, book has a tone of plot holes and stuff but its way better than the movie, worth a read
Not charlie watched this while i was watching the watchers
Charlie explaining the plot is more entertaining than just watching the movie.
The old lady in tarot and watchers was also in the terrible Netflix Texas chainsaw massacre
9:44 - 9:49 why does that line make me laugh so hard? XD
You delivered that line impeccably! lol
say what u want about the story and everything, the monster reveal was actually cool
you*
@@RobbieStacks90 🤓
Random question but do you know how to get into the sub only discord?😭
@@RobbieStacks90 the alpha male perspective does NOT fuck with "u" instead of "you"
this deadass sounds like undertale if it was ass and a movie
I swear to God the premise sounds like Undertale. Humans and faires get in a war because the humans fear their shapeshifting abilities and force them underground. Sounds a lot like the Undertale intro.
Charlie's explanation of digging a whole during the day and coming back out at night is the reverse strategy of what I did when I played Minecraft. When I didn't have enough lumber to build a house, I'd dig a whole and put a trap door in the ceiling to see when the sun came out so I knew I was safe. That's all they gotta do. Just stay out of the sunlight and they'll be fine!
To be honest the fairies according to mythological accounts weren’t all pixie dust and happiness…
Don’t believe him go see it for yourself this was a fire movie
Its giving…. “Chat GPT write me a movie script”
Wait does Charlie not understand faerie lore? It's literal norse mythology...
Not norse, celtic.
That's what I was thinking the whole time. There such an untapped source of material for horror movie, but most people hear the word fairy and think of Tinkerbell apparently. I would love a Kelpie movie
@@dereklewis8914 This isn't a movie, but if you want to see a piece of media that's a modern take on fairies that's accurate to original folklore (aside from Guillermo Del Toro's films), check out the game Home Safety Hotline.
@@gittin7472 youre right i was getting them mixed up with elves
Video 80 of asking Charlie to buy me a Patent lawyer so I can bring my inventions to life and sponsor his esports team.
So you're saying the guy is Homelander?
Those shapeshifter scenes have left mental scars..
0 seconds into the vid and ik it’s fire 🔥🔥

ok

Very sigma👍

The concept of “the watchers” is a really cool idea. One of the horror podcasts I listen to did a really good job of it and it’s kinda painful for them to take something that has so much potential and absolutely destroy it.
Which podcast?
@@mmmorgan2259 it’s called Run Fool
Ok tbf, the insane fairies and halfling/changeling shit is the creepy side of Irish folklore
Charlie with another water is wet take. 😂 I’m glad he finds out if the poop smells like shit for us.
Damn. I was hoping the twist would be the watchers were some kids from The Village being curious.
The whole fairy backstory just reminds me of Undertale lmao
THATS WHAT I SAID😭😭
8:16 I LARP as a dead person for 4-8 hours a day, usually at night!
“wings pop out of her butt and she flys away” lmfao
"Whats really cute-" HELP I DIED
The fuck
😂10:00 "wings come out of her butt"
Charlie needs to watch When Evil Lurks, best horror of 2023
Good first third, then that movie becomes pure cringe. Evil children in a classroom? Lol
@@rodrigofarias673 in fairness, three cleaner lady said that evil loves children, and children love evil so made sense that they had little demon kids in the school 🤣 And something something allegory for ruining the future generation and them coming back for revenge something something
that fairy knew too much he had to clear it's hard drive.
The only argument I could make, without ever seeing the movie, is that classic fairies of European mythos are subject to the laws of hospitality. They will make rules to force people to follow and they will follow rules given to them. The one who disobeys a rule of hospitality first dies.
Something else that could’ve made this movie a hit was if they used creative and stunning creature designs for the Faeries/watchers. Makeup artists like David Martí, who worked on PAN’S LABYRINTH and Trevor Henderson who created the Cartoon Cat and Sirenhead deserve all of their awards and credits for bringing fairytale and arbitrary things to life in an unsettling way. Fantasy and horror is such a perfect mix but it only truly works if the creature design is fantastic. The Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth is the stuff of nightmares, even the Faun is unnerving despite being one of the neutral characters.
I always find it creepier in horror movies, when they give you just enough, they don't show the monster, and you know nothing about the monster because our imagination can make up some of the scariest things, but it's hard to portray that. just be ominous lol
literally the "the skin walker in my basement" meme
So many dumb twists in this movie lol
Heres what I would do as a twist: They were all fairies that turned into humans and have been humans for so long they lost sense of their original selves. They would disappear one by one thinking they were killed then last survivor(s) escapes kills the fairies only to realise at the end they were their friends. Better twist than a Shyamalan I know but it did take me a whole 10 seconds to think of
I got so disappointed when it clicked which movie he was talking about. I was looking forward to seeing it. It's not a good interpretation. Yes, the book had plotholes, but at least it explained things! A lot of the questions he raised i was like "they didn’t tell you?". There were multiple things he said that I went "wtf that didn't happen" If you liked the premise, read the book! It was good!
In case you didn't know, The Watchers is a book by A.M. Shine 2021.
