Amateur movie with Big budget

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I don't care if this is supposedly a comedy horror flick (as one review states), it's pure garbage. It begins like many found footage horror movies, but then it deadpans, and then suddenly decides not to take itself seriously. It just doesn't make any sense; none at all. There is zero entertainment value in this movie. It's an hour of awful acting (some of the worst I've ever seen), and then it snaps into some kind of wild horror art film. Definitely up there with the worst of those "I want my time back" films.

None of this worksIt isn't funny enough to be a comedy. It isn't scary enough to be horror. The movie never commits to it's idea, and we are left with a tepid, half-baked mess. Now, I love a good fiasco. Few things are as entertaining as a well- intentioned, incompetent blunder with too much vision and no ability to edit. But you can't TRY to make a bad movie. You have to try to make a good movie and fail spectacularly in order for it to be funny. They're Watching is boring wannabe. It tries to excuse the annoying characters, bad acting, horrible script and thin premise with "I meant to do that", and it doesn't cut it. It isn't entertaining enough to get away with it.

They're Watching actually has pretty much material to be a standard found footage film. A workable idea about witches and legends around a small town, local freaks, Americans with lot of swearing, and idea about witches actually pretty lame, but due its lameness, I thought fewer finally did a movie about that. Which makes the idea may developed freshly.All of swearing jokes and dull character development, surprisingly, are lovable and enjoyable to watch. Although I keep thinking, why are these adults really don't know about handling manners with local stuffs? Anyway, after the dull segments (which eats like 3/4 of duration), the climax set when their van is broken, seemingly interesting. I like the easy twist (nah, it is not that hard to guess the secret) and how they keep it as suspenseful as possible. But, everything start to be a mess when a sudden thingy Ghostbuster-esque fx coming. I almost want to stop the movie right now.I know it is comedy horror, but knowing that 90's ghost fx reappear in found footage film seems really nonsense. Either it is a part of comedy spices, or seriously intended, it is just not fit into the movie. But, the deaths and few low-budgeted-CGI-gore are interesting enough to see. When bodies starts to flying with power of CGI, and when a priest starts to burned with CGI fire, it seems my taste to care about the end already finished.At the end, I conclude that probably IT IS because of we never really had (or I never watched) any crappy-CGI in found-footage, because of found footage limited its range by kind of low budget and realistic moments. The different nature of CGI in this film, maybe like what a exploitation-genre in 80s resurrect today with found footage. I like most of story and like how they not trying to make the movie too real smart or too real dumb. I like how the awkward shots with the CGI was given. This movie can get few instant likes.But consider how unrealistic the CGI shots in found footage, I cannot say that I would recommend the movie to my pals. It is just too awkward to watch this.

Great found footage movie that doesn't get bogged down in over- seriousness and has a sense of fun, while at the same time being really creepy. The characters are likable enough and the dialogue works, you can really tell that a lot of thought went into the filming and that the whole thing must have been a lot of fun.As for the story itself, it evolves at a nice pace and plays with audience expectations a bit, especially towards the end. There is something creepy going on at least every few minutes but a lot of it is in the background so you also get to know the characters quite a lot as the film progresses.Overall this is a smart and enjoyable horror with a decent amount of comedy and character work thrown in. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't hate found footage movies and also say that for the most part the filming is actually important to the story in this case.
