Dear Lord, where to begin? Watcher left me so annoyed that I can’t come up with a really snappy dig on it. This movie isn’t worth the time it would take for me to rip it apart.
This will be short and not so sweet. I’m going to put full blame on the director. The cast did what they could with what they had to work with—not much.

Less than halfway through the movie I started checking to see how much was left. It was tedious to watch. The movie moved so slowly that my interest left the building with Elvis.
I powered through it until the end scene and I thought my head was going to explode. The final two seconds of the movie irked me so badly that I let out with a “WTF!!” I didn’t abbreviate that sentence though. I’m pretty sure the only other guy in the theater concurred with my exclamation.
Blah, don’t waste your time. Watcher shouldn’t be watched. Unless you want to punish someone, then send them to see this torture piece, you’ll have the final laugh.
Grade: F
Not everyone agrees with that rating. Steve T. gave it a B-.
About The Peetimes: There are 2 perfect spots to go. Both Peetimes we’re easy to summarize and get you back in the seat before the finale begins.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Watcher.

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
