The Watchers had me on the fence. It’s not as good as I was hoping it would be but it definitely wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Knowing this film was attached to the Shyamalan name I was excited because I know there are going to be things you miss and won’t understand until the end. Had I not been in that mind set, I probably would have liked it a lot better.
Dakota Fanning did a great job setting the tone of the movie, she was superb. I wasn’t familiar with the rest of the cast but it felt cohesive. They played well off of one another.

All in all, this was a decent start for Ishana Shyamalan. I’m looking forward to seeing what else she’s capable of.
Grade: C+
About The Peetimes: There are 2 Peetimes to choose from. I feel they equally work well.
There are no extra scenes during, or afte r, the end credits of The Watchers.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
