Ishana Night Shyamalan takes the helm to bring us a thriller about 4 strangers in an inescapable forest being watched. Does it live up to the family name? Here's my review for THE WATCHERS!

The irony that we can see you, but you can't see us. You're living the movie! Also, nice haircut.
@@ceno10101 I can see you right now
You should review the show Smiling Friends
Corporate kane!
Jeremy, always goes through the pain, so you don't have to, Thank you🙏
Guessing what Jeremy thinks about a movie based on the thumbnail alone is my daily wordle equivalent
I'm also doing this going foward
Unless it's the Rise of Skywalker
Same
I like it when the scotch is already there
exactly
The scariest part of this movie is the idea that google maps would send you down a single lane dirt road that clearly doesn't end at your destination.
"Daughter, here's how you make a film. First, create an engaging setup that gets them hooked. Next, reveal a stupid resolution that disappoints them utterly"
-M. Night Shalaman, probably.
Is that the same daughter that show him Avatar the Last Airbender as a kid....
@heliosmorningstar The same daughter that he wrote kids stories for, which he ended up being turned into the most boring film I've ever seen, called Lady in the Water.
To be fair, the movie is based on a book and from what I've heard, the book ending is also a letdown. That being said, if I was Shyamalan's daughter and was adapting a novel for my first movie, you'd bet your behind it would have a banger ending.
@@GreendalewitchI loved Lady in the water it's one of my favorite M. Night movies
@@rustyshackleford6035 One man's trash is another man's treasure, as they say. To each their own.
"You went 'full-Shyamalan'. You never go full-Shyamalan."
Lmao 🤣
you-ma-ma-ma-make me happy 😃
@@SweatyTurban34 what movie is that from?
@@Rusty84CV "Tropic Thunder"
Captain America said I got that reference.
A Shyamalan film that’s not an M Night Shyamalan film? What a twist!!
Now we can finally definitively say, "Who's watching the Watchers."
Nobody clearly lol
Syamalan, the king of great premise, bad execution, missed opportunities. The daughter inherit that as well, it seems.
Exactly!!!!
One movie doesn't define her as a filmmaker/director and person.
@@Z3ROMythwell she’s only made one so that’s what we can judge her by
Apples never fall far from the tree.
@@MM-jc7uv understandable
"This movie is a MIXED bad"
Sounds like every other Night Shyamalan movie. Sign me up.
the sixth sense was brilliant but I feel Mr. Shabalaya has been trying to replicate it ever since.
@@benzaiten933 Split was absolutely amazing IMO. The thing is, even if his movies have lots of flaws, they feel different and interesting compared to the infinite stream of same-y movies pumped out by Hollywood, and in my book, this makes them worth watching.
@benzaiten933 signs, village, split, visit are all good movies
@@Anu-po5mlthe village is the absolute worst, I liked sixth sense, unbreakable and signs
So. Much. Editing.
"They're not going to eat the bird, are they?" Jeremy asking the important questions! 😆
With the leather jacket and the grey on the sides of his head, Jeremy is slowly turning into Mad Max.
As someone who has went back and watched the old films you are not lying. Jeremy Gibson
My world is fire and blood.
Or mr fantastic or old man Logan
He is getting wiser.
A furiosa saga
I'm always game for Shyamalan film. It's never predictable for better or worse.
Other than Sixth, all of his endings are a let down... so he's very predictable.
Then there was.... *shudders* The Last Airbender @@greggibson33
@@greggibson33 no. Signs, The visit and unbreakable were solid films with unexpected endings. for the most part. I even liked The Happrning which was universally
Panned
@@greggibson33unbreakable!?
"A deal so good it made my hair shorter!" HAHAH WTF! Short-haired Jeremy's lookin' good!
@population-_-420😆
Watched this whole review thinking he was talking about ‘The Strangers’! 😂
Fuck me too until I just read this
Birds of the same feathers.
Everyone's talking about the thumbnail and M Night Shamylan movies... I'm just trying to understand how Jeremy did that haircut transition so smoothly.
The Watchers were a specific group of Fallen Angels in the Book of Enoch. They basically taught man how to sin worse and worse. Part of their punishment was being buried in pits.
the rock monsters from the Russell Crowe Noah movie
@@Inspectornills The rock monster depiction, I think may have been a reference to the apocryphal book of Jasher, or the Jubilees (?), I cannot recall which one specifically at the time of making this post, but it did mention God assigning Jasher a staff to touch the heels of the Giants prior to the time of the Great Flood. Upon doing so the Giants turned to stone, albeit some could move around perhaps with limited capacity, while others were immobilised.
If you follow this rabbit hole, you'll assuredly ultimately get into fringe topics like mudfossils for example. Mudfossil University, being the top go-to channel for this theory.
What the fk, dude!😧
Man didn't need to be taught how to sin worse and worse. We are perfectly capable of sinning on our own without demonic influence.
Jeremiah 17:9-10
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Romans 1:28-32
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate (adokimos: failing to pass the test, unfit, worthless, counterfeit, unapproved) mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, *inventors of evil things,* disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
--All one needs to do to see this today is turn on any Liberal social media feed. Immorality is praised as being "love, morally just, tolerance, inclusion" with those who practice and promote "progressive" Liberalism (atheistic Marxist ideologies) being praised, called "stunning and brave".
Keep in mind that the part about being worthy of death is not saying we should kill anyone who practices such things, but these are sins that God will judge them for and throw them into the lake of fire which is called the second death. Of course, in the Old Testament people would have been killed under the Mosaic Laws if they committed such things.
Romans 3:10-12
10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
Isaiah 64:6
*But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;* and we all do fade as a leaf; *and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.*
Romans 3:19-23
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, *and all the world may become guilty before God.*
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 *For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;*
Well, in the book this film is adapting, the watchers are actually a type of fae called a changeling.
The whole time, I was thinking who was paying the light bill for the bunker in the middle of a forest. And when she got out, how was she allowed to access the old man's every dirty secrets so easily??? Everyone knew where everyone lived automatically. How's that for a group of strangers.
Also before the reveal, I was thinking who cleaned up down there, locked the hatch and put the rug and table over to hide it? Also if I was in that room for several months I'd know every square inch of that room
I was wondering how they fed the bird.
Man I haven’t watched a movie review in well over 10 years and you’re still the first option on the list I love it makes me feel like I’m 18 again lost on TH-cam! Glad to see you’re still at it Jeremy!
That intro into the ad transition😂😂😂 love it
Thank you for always saving me money 😂 some reviewers out there kinda like every movie or won’t really say a film is bad and I immediately start to doubt their reviews. But you always say what you really think; sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s just not cutting it for you. Before I go see anything I always check in with your reviews first. Keep up the good work…
I hope I'm wrong but I think I already figured out the plot twist. Simply by listening to this review. Just started listening to the audiobook. I'll be back in a couple days to let you know if I was right.
Somebody spoiled it on here already. Lame sauce
@@Skeletal33 wasn't planning on spoiling it just saying if my guess was right. BTW I thought the story was done and there's still two hours left. So the book seems to suffer the same problem as the movie.
Movie tip, thank me later: Coherence (2013)
Oh great, great shout! 😁🇬🇧
The ONLY reason I liked that movie was because it was a very well done film and entertaining experience. Wait, whut?
Good cosmic horror, sadly overlooked.
If you like that check out:
the Benson/Moorehead films. The Endless, Resolution, Synchronic, Something in the Dirt, and Spring.
And the Perry Blackshear films They Look Like People, The Ruska, When I Consume You.
All cosmic horror films with human stories. Very off the beaten path and original. They do what Shyamalan tries to do.
I'll thank you NOW!
"But who watches the watc-NOBODY!
Check the year, Hollywood.
Love that short hair Jeremy looks like he's channeling his inner Dr. Strange.
That sponsor segue was iconic.
I gotta say regardless of the premise the scenes I saw were directed beautifully. The effects were super realistic too!
This FEELS like a cinematic sibling to the show FROM in a way. Might not be vampire thingies, but the vibes of being stuck in the unknown with evil.
I just watched the first episode, I'm very intrigued! Hope it pays off.
@@Mopark25 its kinda like LOST where ya just keep getting more and more questions, but in a good way? I'm patiently not patiently waiting on season 3 haha i really like it
Releasing THEM as a movie woulda been dope. Episode 1 was Golden!
@@369frequencyandvibration i gotta check that one out
@@emosam07 Nothing has scratched the itch Lost gave me so I'm ready!
I just saw this. I agree with Jeremy's note about "two movies smashed together, only one of which was pitched in the trailer."
It was a 6/10 for me
The book has a lot of grand cosmic-horror concepts and ideas that are rather unsettling but don't lend itself well to being shown in a live-action film. I'm not surprised hearing that the second half comes across as goofy. The book has a fairly bone-chilling finale, but seeing it in a movie? Idk. I'm curious to see the finished product.
They took some liberties with the ending. I prefer the book.
I liked it, but pretty much agree with the criticisms. Over explained in the second half, under-developed cast, cheesy conclusion (even though I think it’s a great message, the delivery was a little comical).
4:25 Twilight Zone "5 Characters in Search of an Exit" but it turns out they're...
toys. its good
That was a great episode
Not related to the movie but I just wanted to early congratulate you for reaching 2 million subscribers man! Been watching for a long time super happy for you ❤️🔥
So I went last night to see the movie after reading the book over the last month and I can honestly say just go read the book. It was so much better, the ending wasn't rushed like it was in the movie and the suspense is way more rich. The movie just took a huge dump on the book
The entire shamalama filmography both him and now apparently her can be described as "great in concept, terrible in execution"
Cant wait to hear the same thing about "trap"
I've watched a few reviews on this and none of them have likened it to M. night's The Village. Maybe it's a fleeting memory (i do remember enjoying the village, generally like most films ) but a great trailer fools you into watching a group of people stuck in the woods, fear of the unknown 'creatures', mild story develops between them, very let down by the resolution. Nearly the same runtime 1h 42m vs 1h 48m. Released 20 years apart almost to the month. Is it just confirmation bias? 😅
I could've had a hundred guesses and I wouldn't have figured out what the Watchers were.
The better example of people held captive in a bunker in fear of the unknown being executed way better was the movie "10 Cloverfield Lane" ....... The Watchers has potential, I think it would do great as a series for that concept
5:25 “It was oddly Stephen King, where if you’re reading and you’re like is this, is this the ending, is this for real?”
Is one of the truest statements ever!! I love SK but can’t remember how many times I’ve thought that, lol
I felt it needed an extra 20 minutes of Dialogue between the characters to build a better relationship with the audience and less showing of the creatures in the middle of the movie to bring more tension.
Also the film kind of creates a sense of each character was brought their for a reason but never pays off, it would've been nice to have some type of spiritual meaning to the group at the end of the film to really pay it off m, kind of like how Signs did.
Overall I would give this a 6 out of 10 rating.
I love your TNG shoutout, Jeremy!
Great analogy.
She should’ve made the comic book adaptation of Something is Killing the Children
Nepotism: The Movie
Thank you. The first thing I said to my mate when leaving the gym is that if anyone else pitched that movie it wouldn’t have been made. Truly awful.
It's ok when people from India do it
If you’re an entrepreneur and you have the chance to help your child getting into the same business as you are, wouldn’t you help? I guess from your answer you would leave your child drown just because that would be nepotism
Nepotism is the case of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West with their daughter
@RazKob33 yea but you don't let her make a big budget Hollywood film? Maybe show her how you got started and learned the craft. This is how you end up with this shit.
When the watchers stand up 😱😨 terrifying
Plot twist - M Night has no daughter
Lol
Jeremy. Do a review for In a Violent Nature, I gotta see your reaction to this!
At this point. I'll just wait for the next Evil Dead Rise sequel coming out next year. Rise in my opinion is the first Evil Dead movie that I watched and a 10 outta 10 masterpiece.
I love how Dakota Fanning is just the horror girl now.
I have never been this early, Two likes?!!
I have enjoyed every Shyamalan movie. Good or Bad they are original. Like Jordan Peele, he tells stories he wants to see. This is why I like a lot of Blumhouse movies as well.
She is obviously inspired by her father. The concept is very interesting and thought provoking. Even though I saw the ending coming, all the ideas kept me interested.
It is weird and different. With a story that is too simplistic. Even Dakota Fanning, one of the greatest movie actresses ever, can’t do much with such a thin script. Hollywood has been terrible for years, so even Shyamalan bad is pretty damn good.
I will probably go see it again next week. It is what it is. It’s the movie they wanted to make.
Jeremy's 2024 Ratings Tally
Better Drunk-8
Dogshit-6
No Alcohol Required-6
Worth Watching/Buying -6
Not Going to Remember-5
"This is like that episode of Star Trek, TNG." OH great, Jeremy is during into Mike Stoklasa.
I actually really enjoyed it I felt pretty engaged the whole time. The final ending did feel like it was missing something, but I like the extended fleshing out it did. I still don't know who ordered the bird though. I couldn't have been the professor to lure somebody there right? Because he died long before they arrived.
Video starts at 1:35
I will not stand for Stephen King blasphemy!!!
Will not STAND for it
@@wyatthicks16 and Christopher Reeves will not sit for this!
@@wyatthicks16 also thank you understanding haha
I think im first
I'll tKe sloppy seconds I guess
I liked everything, but the second ending. If it would've ended with the bus, I'd've walked out really liking it. Instead, I walked out with mild enjoyment. It still wasn't bad, but I kept thinking if Until Dawn and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark had a baby.
One key that it wasn't M. Night directing was there wasn't a character with weird, stilted dialogue. I still liked this one, though. I'd watch it again
When they showed hunting the crow, I thought the parrot would be toast. I especially found the boy annoying, and I’m pretty sure you were not supposed to root for the monsters!
I’m excited to hear your review of LONGLEGS!!
I wish the Shyamalans would just make their own show that featured one-off concepts like The Twilight Zone or Black Mirror.
More often than not their movies don't have the amount of character development to fill a full length feature.
Why change the title? Is there already a film called The Watched in America?
M night Shamalamadingdong only knows how to make 2 kinds of movies, bangers and mixed bags.
The last airbender is a mixed bag? 🤨
@@shawklan27 you right
LISTEN TO HIM! I wish I would have left when the movie should have ended. 😭 I regret it!
Sameee, once they got on the bus back to town it shoulda been a wrap lol
This is one I think you should revisit, the movie is more about Dakota and not about the thriller elements. Yes you are right it was marketed as horror, and it has those elements but it's a movie of transformation wrapped up in a thriller blanket. It did have some things that could of been better but over all I think it's a good watch without alcohol, and this is a movie that is not a sequel, super heroes, remake, over 2 hours long or woke garbage. Very refreshing to see something outside of the norm.
I fully agree that the film does have about 5 endings, it's definitely Ishana's first movie, but I have hope for her career because the world-building was something I was a big fan of!
Best ad transition ever. I'm sold, gonna subscribe to NordVPN.
I've been saying this a lot about new movies I watch but I feel like this would have been better as a limited series.
I’m waiting for Trap, his daughter still has a lot of maturing to do when making films like her dad.
Don't forget the....SPOILER!!!
Running, running, running....STOP...exposition...."We need to go!"....Run, run, run...STOP....:Looks around: "We need to go!"...Run, Run, run...."WHERES Paul?!?!?!" "We need to go!"
As for your question, From Dusk Till Dawn did it for me. It began good then it turned into a comedy vampire fest. Totally over the top.
Holy Shit that sponsors transition was so good. OMG!!!! SO GOOD
There's a review in this video ... somewhere.. I couldn't find it
Yay! Emma on a Norwegian Cruise! She is your Best Ambassador!
I thought it was funny that he referred to be a sound of a cello in the movie, it was clearly a Theremin
Jeremy tries not to quote Star Trek Next Gen every video, challenge: Impossible
I had the exact thoughts. Just got back from seeing it, and well, about one-third of the way through the movie I remembered hearing that it was based on a book, and that got more and more apparent the longer the movie went on.The first half was *awesome* and I loved it. That started petering out around the first "ending", and then the movie just kept going and I just kept getting less and less interested. I gave it a 6/10. The first half was so good! But then I'd say most of the last half I just really didn't like.
As long as it had a low budget but a intriguing pull, it can make technical profit. The Shyamalan method
The problem with Shyamalan movies is that it's a Shyamalan movie and that Shyamalan things will happen before it's over.
"Parot upstages half the cast" As a bird owner Jeremy, that's what they're supposed to do.
I saw this and thought it was more than fine. I've seen way worse horror adjacement movies and the reveal wasnt terrible. 6/10
Funny you bring up Allegiance, I JUST rewatched that episode yesterday
he's doing it guys! He's getting to the point where we want movies to be shorter than an hour!
Jeremy, my dude - your camera’s shutter speed is cranked too high; while I love your hand movements, they were a bit disorienting and Gladiator (2000) esque. Set it to double your camera’s frame rate, and you’re good to go!
The Bloodline is strong. Her next film will land it.
Always alternated with her dad as well.
I actually really liked it. Even the convoluted ending surprisingly… But it definitely has its flaws.
“Good concept, poor execution” sounds like a classic shamalayanana movie
The cut to the cut caught me off guard that I had to rewind it.
It’s funny how only watch your reviews before seeing a movie in theaters I learned about a year or so ago to check your vids first before making a decision to see something .
or you could just not let someone else's opinion decide for you and go see it anyway, then decide if you like it or not, i dont know.
I’d like to say I’m surprised but she’s the daughter of M Night Shyamalan! Making shit endings to his movies is what he does best. Well except “The Sixth Sense”
Spoilers he’s dead
This movie had great potential that crashed and burned in the 3rd act. A movie about rules that breaks its own rules with the deus ex machina that isn’t even all that convincing with the VFX from SyFy channel circa 2010. Sad.
I read the book to this last year. I never knew they were making a film of it sounds like the ending is the same as the book which isn't good. I hope it is set in Ireland like the novel.
There’s going to be a sequel in October. This is how you do sequels, Hollywood!!!
I guessed this movie about 20 minutes in. I was disappointed because the trailer really hooked me. I thought the acting was good, I love Dakota fanning but I thought this movie had so much potential and sadly fell short
You got a good way to advertise
Singing: I always feel like, someone is watching me! LOL
Well funny enough this film is written and directed by Ishana Night shyamalan, M. night shyamalan’s daughter
I feel like this is the standard for M Night Films. Fantastic in concept but fumbled in execution and not knowing how to keep that concept fresh through the film.
Was hopping with his daughter at the for front creativly we'd see different. Hopefully she gets to do something without her dad attached. See if thats both there styles or just his.
Lot of good time if your drunk reviews for Jeremy lately on movies a lot of people really love
i think you should review the series " from ", i can bet you would like it
Hey Jeremy, “I’m going down, give me my bird!”
Hmm, will check out.
