Critics Consensus

Heavy on eerie mood but undone by an obtuse script, The Watchers can only hold the gaze for so long before tedium sets in.

Adam Nayman

The Ringer

The Watchers is not nearly as cerebral; it's less a political (or showbiz) allegory than a fable about our shared capacity for change. It's a theme that's ultimately addressed so plangently that it has the opposite effect and borders on goofiness...

Polygon

Anyone who goes in with the wrong expectations will probably just find The Watchers baffling. It has its share of creepy moments, rising tension, and sudden-blast-of-music jump scares, but as a suspense story, it fizzles out surprisingly early.

Rated: 67/100

Mashable

The Watchers is a sharply satisfying horror thriller thanks to a crackling cast, unnerving sound design, stomach-churning creatures, and an emotional story that offers far more than cheap thrills.

ClapperCast

The third act completely loses the plot and drags the entire film down with an illogical and confused message. The film has no idea what it is.

Substream Magazine

The human search for self-forgiveness is at the base of ‘The Watchers,’ but the bigger story of the world (and others interacting with it) stretches the film in ways that don’t do what the story could be justice.

The well-crafted film efficiently sets up a literal, nightmare-fueled mystery box. But the third act is a rushed tsunami of contrived exposition that results in an unsatisfactory ending. [Full Review in Spanish]

This movie was a real stinker, It was so bad I walked out in the middle of it. You need to pay me to watch this movie all the way through. Your luck I can't give it a Negative star

It was good! Better than the reviews say. I liked the plot and the plot twist. I feel like it ended as good as it possibly could.

I liked that it had the creepy factor. But some parts were too drawn out and a little confusing.

I liked the idea, but I felt like there was a lot going on and a lot missing. The acting was a little corny but ok. I wish I felt more connected to the characters though, that would have made the movie a lot better.
