**Watcher’s pace can sometimes feel haphazard or arbitrary, but the strong finale makes it all worthwhile.**The Watcher builds slowly, spending plenty of time emphasizing the main character’s isolation and loneliness. Each passing moment of this slow burn accentuates the paranoia of being watched. Maika Monroe proves her horror chops once again with Watcher, as she has before with movies like It Follows and The Guest. I wanted to give this movie a better rating than 3/5 but the gradual crawling pace of the film, although intentional and effective in creating tension, had me looking at my phone out of bordem. The last 20 minutes of the movie are intense and pay off nicely, though, and make it worth hanging around until the end. As a horror fan, I enjoyed Watcher and would recommend giving it a shot, but don’t set your expectations high.
“Julia” (Maika Monroe) and her husband “Francis” (Karl Glusman) relocate from New York to his native Romania so he can take up a job in Bucharest. She has not a word of the native language, and so is pretty much on the back foot from the start as he goes to work each day leaving her to fend for herself. It’s when she is looking out of their window one evening that she thinks she spots someone staring back at her. She waves, it waves back… What’s going on? Is it just a bored next door neighbour or is something more dastardly afoot? Things become more sister for her when, returning home one night with her husband, she learns of the gruesome murder of a young woman nearby. Chloe Okuno does a decent job at creating and sustaining a certain sense of menace here. It’s added by a decent script and a solid effort from Monroe as the increasingly paranoid woman who may be in great danger, or who may just have a very vivid imagination! I wasn’t mad on the ending – it very nearly worked but I felt it hadn’t quite the courage of what would have been a far more fitting conviction. It’s not a great film, no – but it uses our imagination to do much of the work here and at times is really quite effective and certainly it is a bit different from a psychological perspective.
Watcher
5/10 – if you are able to enjoy a slow (and I mean slowwwww) burn then Watcher may be for you; otherwise, you may find yourself straining to not be bored for the 90 minute run time (all for a conclusion that isn’t enough of a payoff to make it all worthwhile)
Slightly short of being a great thriller
Wow, just wow. I had no expectations about Watcher, but it turned out to be really good.Like seriously, everything worked so well up until the ending, which felt somewhat disappointing and didn’t make much sense. It wasn’t the worst thing they could’ve done though, so thanks for that.
Actual care was put into the film and it shows. All the elements they have are nothing new, really, but these blend quite well. The unfamiliar environment, the language barrier, the fear, and the feeling of being misunderstood and left alone by the careless close ones. Great acting, great atmosphere, great music. Just overall a solid thriller that tried to step away from cliches as much as possible.
I can agree that the pacing was relatively slow, but it only helped absorb the atmosphere of what was happening.
A split 7.5/10 could’ve been an 8.5/10 if not for the ending that felt a little too much, although I get the message.
I am looking forward to new movies from the director.
