Description
With "The Watchers," Shyamalan takes on far more than she can handle. Though Shyamalan's restricted toolkit is mercilessly on show, the architecture of the original material offers much to work with in terms of worldbuilding, set pieces, and character development. "The Watchers" on Soap2Day is merely reliant on a weak storyline and lacks boldness and inventive vision. Beset by trite speech and a vacuous dedication to the genre, it finds it difficult to define its own identity and degree of maturity. Although Madeleine's character repeatedly cautions against the loud violence of the viewers, there isn't anything in the movie to support her claims. It is toothless.
