I watched "The Watchers" without any expectations and really liked it. The film managed to capture my attention until the end, maintaining a level of mystery that is rare and much appreciated. The plot is full of surprises and interesting twists, though I feel it lacked some development around these twists and other narrative elements, leaving some details unexplained.
Dakota Fanning shines in the lead role, marking a highly anticipated return to the big screen. The rest of the cast also performs well, bringing their characters to life in a way that complements the story as it progresses.
The atmosphere is very engaging, thanks to excellent cinematography, sound editing, and direction by Ishana Night Shyamalan, who shows promise in following her father, M. Night Shyamalan's footsteps.
Although it isn't the thriller of my life, "The Watchers" is a solid piece that delivers what it promises. Despite some unconvincing narrative justifications, it's worth watching. I'm puzzled by the negative reviews from American critics (currently 28% positive on Rotten Tomatoes). This may be due to the lack of a social or environmental message, which unfortunately seems necessary for American critics to appreciate a film.
In summary, "The Watchers" is an engaging and well-executed thriller that only falters by not fully justifying its twists and leaving some narrative elements unexplained. It's a film worth watching, especially for those who enjoy a good mystery.
