Ishana Night Shyamalan takes the helm to bring us a thriller about 4 strangers in an inescapable forest being watched. Does it live up to the family name? Here's my review for THE WATCHERS!

The irony that we can see you, but you can't see us. You're living the movie! Also, nice haircut.
@@ceno10101 I can see you right now
You should review the show Smiling Friends
Corporate kane!
Jeremy, always goes through the pain, so you don't have to, Thank you🙏
Guessing what Jeremy thinks about a movie based on the thumbnail alone is my daily wordle equivalent
I'm also doing this going foward
Unless it's the Rise of Skywalker
Same
I like it when the scotch is already there
exactly
"Daughter, here's how you make a film. First, create an engaging setup that gets them hooked. Next, reveal a stupid resolution that disappoints them utterly"
-M. Night Shalaman, probably.
Is that the same daughter that show him Avatar the Last Airbender as a kid....
@heliosmorningstar The same daughter that he wrote kids stories for, which he ended up being turned into the most boring film I've ever seen, called Lady in the Water.
To be fair, the movie is based on a book and from what I've heard, the book ending is also a letdown. That being said, if I was Shyamalan's daughter and was adapting a novel for my first movie, you'd bet your behind it would have a banger ending.
@@GreendalewitchI loved Lady in the water it's one of my favorite M. Night movies

"You went 'full-Shyamalan'. You never go full-Shyamalan."
Lmao 🤣
you-ma-ma-ma-make me happy 😃
@@mateo02_ what movie is that from?
@@Rusty84CV "Tropic Thunder"
Captain America said I got that reference.
A Shyamalan film that’s not an M Night Shyamalan film? What a twist!!
With the leather jacket and the grey on the sides of his head, Jeremy is slowly turning into Mad Max.
As someone who has went back and watched the old films you are not lying. Jeremy Gibson
My world is fire and blood.
Or mr fantastic or old man Logan
He is getting wiser.
A furiosa saga
Now we can finally definitively say, "Who's watching the Watchers."
Nobody clearly lol

Syamalan, the king of great premise, bad execution, missed opportunities. The daughter inherit that as well, it seems.
Exactly!!!!
One movie doesn't define her as a filmmaker/director and person.
@@Z3RO_Mythwell she’s only made one so that’s what we can judge her by
Apples never fall far from the tree.
@@MM-jc7uv understandable
I liked the segue from talking about a movie about being spied on to the NordVPN sponsorship.
Incredibly ironic
The sponsors are very proud of Jeremy and I was entertained by it, which is equally important
I wonder what it’s like being Shyamalan’s kid…
„Twist, I’m not your real dad!”
Sounds less like a twist and more of a relief.
😂😂
All of pressure from n your first movie high expectations living shadow of your father hard to say
@@Craxin01 Don’t hate people you don’t know in person so much.
Double-twist, it turns out i am your dad even though i think I'm not.
"This movie is a MIXED bad"
Sounds like every other Night Shyamalan movie. Sign me up.
the sixth sense was brilliant but I feel Mr. Shabalaya has been trying to replicate it ever since.
@@benzaiten933 Split was absolutely amazing IMO. The thing is, even if his movies have lots of flaws, they feel different and interesting compared to the infinite stream of same-y movies pumped out by Hollywood, and in my book, this makes them worth watching.
@benzaiten933 signs, village, split, visit are all good movies
@@Anu-po5mlthe village is the absolute worst, I liked sixth sense, unbreakable and signs
So. Much. Editing.
Every time a TNG reference is made, an Ensign gets his Pip
Except for Kim cuz reasons
@@leyenda6149 Now, now, he did eventually get to be a captain... Then Janeway went back in time and screwed that up. Nevermind!
"They're not going to eat the bird, are they?" Jeremy asking the important questions! 😆
Watched this whole review thinking he was talking about ‘The Strangers’! 😂
Fuck me too until I just read this
Birds of the same feathers.
Yeah, I saw it tonight. The beginning wasn’t necessarily strong for me, but it was intriguing. Especially Dakota Fanning’s character. But a lot of the intriguing aspects of her character, including the character’s attitude, kind of get lost in the rest of the movie. At least, it did for me. It wasn’t bad or anything. It's just. I remember thinking I wanted to see how this character handles what happens next, and it didn’t really feel like the same character throughout. If that makes any sense. I’m gonna see it again with my friend though, to see if maybe I missed something. I say it’s worth a watch 🙂
I'm always game for Shyamalan film. It's never predictable for better or worse.
Other than Sixth, all of his endings are a let down... so he's very predictable.
Then there was.... *shudders* The Last Airbender @@greggibson33
@@greggibson33 no. Signs, The visit and unbreakable were solid films with unexpected endings. for the most part. I even liked The Happrning which was universally
Panned
I think he said the quiet part out loud with that Star Trek reference.
You were in your bag with this review Jerm. The way you tied the sponsor to the theme of the video was masterful.
"A deal so good it made my hair shorter!" HAHAH WTF! Short-haired Jeremy's lookin' good!
How he do that 😮
@@population-_-420😆
Everyone's talking about the thumbnail and M Night Shamylan movies... I'm just trying to understand how Jeremy did that haircut transition so smoothly.
1:26 Points to Jeremy for being able to say those tounge twisters names in succession without flubbing them
Its basically the premise of the "dolls in the box" Twilight Zone episode.
Not even close 😆
It's the summer of the Shymalan's
Next is trap Aug 9
^ Trap looks great. I can’t wait to see that one.
That intro into the ad transition😂😂😂 love it
The Watchers were a specific group of Fallen Angels in the Book of Enoch. They basically taught man how to sin worse and worse. Part of their punishment was being buried in pits.
the rock monsters from the Russell Crowe Noah movie
@@Inspectornills The rock monster depiction, I think may have been a reference to the apocryphal book of Jasher, or the Jubilees (?), I cannot recall which one specifically at the time of making this post, but it did mention God assigning Jasher a staff to touch the heels of the Giants prior to the time of the Great Flood. Upon doing so the Giants turned to stone, albeit some could move around perhaps with limited capacity, while others were immobilised.
If you follow this rabbit hole, you'll assuredly ultimately get into fringe topics like mudfossils for example. Mudfossil University, being the top go-to channel for this theory.
What the fk, dude!😧
Man didn't need to be taught how to sin worse and worse. We are perfectly capable of sinning on our own without demonic influence.
Jeremiah 17:9-10
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Romans 1:28-32
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate (adokimos: failing to pass the test, unfit, worthless, counterfeit, unapproved) mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, *inventors of evil things,* disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
--All one needs to do to see this today is turn on any Liberal social media feed. Immorality is praised as being "love, morally just, tolerance, inclusion" with those who practice and promote "progressive" Liberalism (atheistic Marxist ideologies) being praised, called "stunning and brave".
Keep in mind that the part about being worthy of death is not saying we should kill anyone who practices such things, but these are sins that God will judge them for and throw them into the lake of fire which is called the second death. Of course, in the Old Testament people would have been killed under the Mosaic Laws if they committed such things.
Romans 3:10-12
10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
Isaiah 64:6
*But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;* and we all do fade as a leaf; *and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.*
Romans 3:19-23
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, *and all the world may become guilty before God.*
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 *For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;*
Well, in the book this film is adapting, the watchers are actually a type of fae called a changeling.
Not based on the novel by Dean Koontz then?
Shame, that book was one of his best!
Agreed. I was so excited when I saw the title… but then so dissappointed.
I just commented on the horrible movie based on the Koontz book. Good novel bad movie.
On an unrelated note, Seven Samurai is being re-released in 4K.
Finished the book 2 days before the movie. Yea, the book is far superior. They flesh out the characters more and the ending is actually intriguing.
how does it end, please???
Movie tip, thank me later: Coherence (2013)
Oh great, great shout! 😁🇬🇧
The ONLY reason I liked that movie was because it was a very well done film and entertaining experience. Wait, whut?
Good cosmic horror, sadly overlooked.
If you like that check out:
the Benson/Moorehead films. The Endless, Resolution, Synchronic, Something in the Dirt, and Spring.
And the Perry Blackshear films They Look Like People, The Ruska, When I Consume You.
All cosmic horror films with human stories. Very off the beaten path and original. They do what Shyamalan tries to do.
I'll thank you NOW!
Man I haven’t watched a movie review in well over 10 years and you’re still the first option on the list I love it makes me feel like I’m 18 again lost on CZcams! Glad to see you’re still at it Jeremy!
“Does it live up to the family name?”
No offense to the Shyamalans but that’s only like asking if someone could make a burger that lives up to McDonalds
Rare insults
On the other hand, if your burger is worse than McDonald's, your career as a fry cook is likely going to be very short-lived.
Remember she didn't come up with the ending.
@@captainbrainius6273 A short order career?
@@anubusx But she gave it the greenlight, as did daddy.
Im excited for this one!
I'm excited about this movie. I tried to read the book, but it was kind of slow. However I love that the author is Irish and used Celtic mythology through the story.
You were soo happy with this videos segway, i could see the joy in your face xD
When you mentioned "possibilities are endless...". That was funny because there is a movie called The Endless And it has a similar horror mystery vibe and unknown forces watching. That movie was so good.
That ad lead in was amazing 😂
ey that hair thing is kinda cool, how do you sync is so good?
Hmm, will check out.
Thank you for always saving me money 😂 some reviewers out there kinda like every movie or won’t really say a film is bad and I immediately start to doubt their reviews. But you always say what you really think; sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s just not cutting it for you. Before I go see anything I always check in with your reviews first. Keep up the good work…
Love that short hair Jeremy looks like he's channeling his inner Dr. Strange.
"But who watches the watc-NOBODY!
Check the year, Hollywood.
Funny you bring up Allegiance, I JUST rewatched that episode yesterday
Saw this movie last night, it was scary and amazing i love the actors especially the elderly woman with the beautiful gray hair ❤
That sponsor segue was iconic.
Hope M Nights daughter does well. Her fathers shadow stretches far, but because of the trainwreck that has been his film career lately, she might be able to surpass him sooner than expected if she puts more effort into the scripts and does away with her fathers obsession for plot twists. Or, at least does them well.
Nepobaby has some pretty big shoes to fill.
They can both fuck off, 7 billion people for directors to be picked from and we end up with this untalented nepotism bullshit director.
Hey now. The Visit, Split, Glass, and Knock At The Cabin were good.
@@LastSunrise1981 With my deepest of respects, I did not wait all those years for a sequel to Unbreakable, only to see Bruce Willis drown in a puddle.
@@Greendalewitch Fair enough. I cannot say you are not correct with that disappointing outcome.
Hahaha nice segue at the start!
Love the new look!
I hope I'm wrong but I think I already figured out the plot twist. Simply by listening to this review. Just started listening to the audiobook. I'll be back in a couple days to let you know if I was right.
Somebody spoiled it on here already. Lame sauce
@@Skeletal33 wasn't planning on spoiling it just saying if my guess was right. BTW I thought the story was done and there's still two hours left. So the book seems to suffer the same problem as the movie.
Quality transition to sponsor as always Jeremy
Great transition to the sponsor
Not related to the movie but I just wanted to early congratulate you for reaching 2 million subscribers man! Been watching for a long time super happy for you ❤️🔥
I love your TNG shoutout, Jeremy!
Great analogy.
"the parrot upstages half of the cast" 😂
That hole Jeremy mentioned does kind of look like one of them Morlock wells from the 1960 movie The Time Machine as it has that similar shape. Makes me wonder if Shyamalan got the idea of these holes from The Time Machine.
Lol yo you killed the tongue twister in the beginning
Top tier Sponsorship transition there, Jahns
Do a review for 'In a Voilent Nature.' It's Friday the 13th, but from Jason's pov.
So I went last night to see the movie after reading the book over the last month and I can honestly say just go read the book. It was so much better, the ending wasn't rushed like it was in the movie and the suspense is way more rich. The movie just took a huge dump on the book
I’m excited to hear your review of LONGLEGS!!
4:25 Twilight Zone "5 Characters in Search of an Exit" but it turns out they're...
toys. its good
That was a great episode
This FEELS like a cinematic sibling to the show FROM in a way. Might not be vampire thingies, but the vibes of being stuck in the unknown with evil.
I just watched the first episode, I'm very intrigued! Hope it pays off.
@@Mopark25 its kinda like LOST where ya just keep getting more and more questions, but in a good way? I'm patiently not patiently waiting on season 3 haha i really like it
Releasing THEM as a movie woulda been dope. Episode 1 was Golden!
@@369frequencyandvibration i gotta check that one out
@@emosam07 Nothing has scratched the itch Lost gave me so I'm ready!
Nailed that sponsorship segway.
Also, PLEASE WATCH HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS! It's on VOD now so it's readily available. Funniest comedy I've seen in years!
Completely agree, great review!
Please be good please be good!
Better time if drunk according to Jeremy. But don't worry, he felt the same way about GotG v3!
Bad 😢
@@Spidermanspiderman3923 that's not a bad rating, it's more like "mediocre"
There so much more interesting horror this year, so I wouldn’t worry too much.
I just checked the tomatoes score it’s baaad
Watching Jeremy review a movie he watched called The Watchers.
So we are the watchers
It's watchin' time!!
@@eugeneng2574 We are the watchers, watching the watcher, talk about his time watching The Watchers.
Lot of good time if your drunk reviews for Jeremy lately on movies a lot of people really love
Best ad transition ever. I'm sold, gonna subscribe to NordVPN.
The entire shamalama filmography both him and now apparently her can be described as "great in concept, terrible in execution"
Cant wait to hear the same thing about "trap"
I have never been this early, Two likes?!!
Holy Shit that sponsors transition was so good. OMG!!!! SO GOOD
Would love to see you review "In A Violent Nature".
Nepotism: The Movie
Thank you. The first thing I said to my mate when leaving the gym is that if anyone else pitched that movie it wouldn’t have been made. Truly awful.
It's ok when people from India do it
If you’re an entrepreneur and you have the chance to help your child getting into the same business as you are, wouldn’t you help? I guess from your answer you would leave your child drown just because that would be nepotism
Nepotism is the case of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West with their daughter
@RazKob33 yea but you don't let her make a big budget Hollywood film? Maybe show her how you got started and learned the craft. This is how you end up with this shit.
Plot twist - M Night has no daughter
Lol
I felt it needed an extra 20 minutes of Dialogue between the characters to build a better relationship with the audience and less showing of the creatures in the middle of the movie to bring more tension.
Also the film kind of creates a sense of each character was brought their for a reason but never pays off, it would've been nice to have some type of spiritual meaning to the group at the end of the film to really pay it off m, kind of like how Signs did.
Overall I would give this a 6 out of 10 rating.
Great review. Been waiting for a good movie.
"This is like that episode of Star Trek, TNG." OH great, Jeremy is during into Mike Stoklasa.
I will not stand for Stephen King blasphemy!!!
Will not STAND for it
@@wyatthicks16 and Christopher Reeves will not sit for this!
@@wyatthicks16 also thank you understanding haha
Im going to listen to the audiobook
Alright, I applaud the ad pivot
I think im first
I'll tKe sloppy seconds I guess
Loved the Segway to the VPN add 😅
You got a good way to advertise
The book has a lot of grand cosmic-horror concepts and ideas that are rather unsettling but don't lend itself well to being shown in a live-action film. I'm not surprised hearing that the second half comes across as goofy. The book has a fairly bone-chilling finale, but seeing it in a movie? Idk. I'm curious to see the finished product.
They took some liberties with the ending. I prefer the book.
I just saw this. I agree with Jeremy's note about "two movies smashed together, only one of which was pitched in the trailer."
It was a 6/10 for me
Jeremy. Do a review for In a Violent Nature, I gotta see your reaction to this!
Good visuals and a fascinating story
You totally watched this movie just for that ad read, and I approve. Well done.
Still going to see this
My takeaway from this review is to watch "Allegiance" as my "Star Trek" viewing this week - thanks, Jeremy! 😆
I knew it would be a VPN ad within 2 seconds and I completely respect it
I literally just read this book last week, didn't know there was a movie coming out. Cool.
I cannot wait to watch this and have a discussion on our own. The premise really seems great for the movie. Hope it stands out.
Finally watched it and I genuinely enjoyed it.. but I am mixed on the ending and agree with you.. I wish it could have ended on a different note.. not just carried on.. and maintain that mysteriousness of it.
Thank you for the video
Yeah I'm ok with the mixed bag idea. There were parts that were interesting, I don't think the over-all picture was a win though. I'll be interested to see what else she does though.
My biggest takeaway from watching the movie was the tonal inconsistencies. Without spoiling, as the movie goes on, things are revealed that make the watchers appear not as bad as they seem, but their actions never reflect that when it matters. Are they evil or not? And if they are not, how? What stakes are there?
Slick haircut man 🔥
You should review the acolyte
here's an end of video question:
who has a better build up with a lackluster payoff?
Shyamalan (yes including the Father) or Steven King movies
