Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

gavondo May contain spoilers.The premise of They're Watching is an entertaining one, and the movie begins with promise. A woman buys a ramshackle house in a remote Moldovan village on an episode of "House Hunters: Global." The crew returns six months later to see what she has done to the place. These are the bones of the film. Unfortunately the film is little more than bones.The thing I hated most about They're Watching was Kate (Carrie Genzel), the angry, spiteful producer of House Hunters. She is an abysmal character. She is supposed to be a terrible character, you're not supposed to like her. But, she is mean without reason- she isn't relatable in any way. Really, all of the characters fall a bit short- underdeveloped and not believable. At one point, cameraman Greg (David Alpay) is awoken by Sarah (Mia Faith) while in the midst of a PTSD-induced nightmare. As angry Moldovans gather around the house, carrying torches and wielding axes, Greg finally opens up about his time in Afghanistan and then they have sex. Beautiful.At least we get some sort of satisfaction in seeing the playful flirting between Sarah and Greg develop into something more tangible, albeit short lived, because the film's conclusion offers no satisfaction at all. Plot deficiencies aside, of which there are not a few, the final scenes of They're Watching rely heavily on CGI and, in so doing, fall woefully short. The effects are intentionally over-the-top. They are comical, but not in a campy, good way. They are comically pathetic, trying to compensate for a total lack of substance. In that vein, throughout the film, barring perhaps only Greg's brief description of Taliban violence (which here serves as a form of foreplay), the dialogue is also devoid of substance. Instead, the script relies upon jeers and profanity directed at the native Moldovans.More reviews: medium.com/@gavondo

bluefim Let me start by saying I am a big horror fan and have seen both the good and the bad of indie productions. This movie is one of the bad. I typically reserve reviews for movies that have a significant amount of phony planted reviews and boy is this one of them.It suffers every cliché on the list for shaky cam/documentary style films including unlikeable characters, stupid decision making, and LOTS of wasted screen time that in no way was necessary to the plot. I won't go into details but the plot cannot be saved from the beginning because the very first scene spoils the ending already. If you love SciFi channel level cheesy special effects then maybe you will love the finale (seriously it looks bad, going against the basic rules of low budget production).Spare yourself that misery of reading all the bloated scores and watching this mediocre mess.

kcrisenphoenix The problem with this movie is that there was a whole lot of nothing going on. In trying to make it look real, it went on and on and on with nothing happening. Just a bunch of talking heads.By the end it does start getting a little spooky though. That's good....Some decent acting and some really, really bad acting which pulled me out of being able to enjoy the film. It is one of those movies that is supposed to be real, but it was the bad acting that kept ejecting me from being able to like the movie.And I think it must have been the directing. Because some of the actors really are good, but not in this. And a big reveal scene involving Afghanistan falls flat on its face, which was sad. It should have been better.Decent Acting: Mia Faith: Charming: I could believe she was a real person and not an actress. Brigid Brannagh: She almost convinced me she was a real person and not an actress. Dimitri Diatchenko: Funny and charming. I enjoyed him quite a bit.Truly horrible acting—Kindergarten Thanksgiving Plays have better acting: Carrie Genzel: Terrible! Stunned she was picked for this film. Kris Lemche: Truly some of the worst acting I've ever seen, except for Carrie Genzel. So bad. These two pretty much made this movie almost unwatchable.Then it finally hit me. This was a dark comedy. And when I realized that I decided this wasn't a total waste after all. If you have an hour and a half, and can sift through horrible acting, you may like this movie.

trashgang Horror that will have mixed emotions amongst the fans. Why, because it really is a slow burner. It almost takes until the end before the real horror comes in. But once it does, it's one to look forward to.It do has a few of funny situations but it wasn't made to make you laugh. But you can see it coming, Americans going to Eastern Europe (Moldavia) to visit a woman who made it over there. But there's more going on. Slowly the people from the town are watching the Americans. So want to know what is going on and I admit, the frogs tricked me. I can't say what did happen, otherwise I spoil it all but it's easy to spot that the ending is the moment all the money was used. It's over the top that's true but it do works. They're Watching is a mockumentary go wrong as we have seen so many times but it worked out fine for me. But again, its a love or hate thing.Gore 2/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 4/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
