Genre: Action/Horror
Director: Rupert Sanders
Cast: Bill Skarsgard, FKA Twigs, Danny Huston, Josette Simon, Laura Birn, Sami Bouajila

The characters have no humanity, the romance has no sizzle, and the whole thing turns into a slog where style overwhelms substance to such a degree that there’s too little left of the latter to matter.

Does a great job setting up a sense of deep unease but that quickly evaporates when it becomes apparent the movie isn’t going anywhere worthwhile.

For all its skill at mimicry, it has nothing to say and no real story to tell. It’s as ephemeral as it is unpleasant – a rancid little curiosity whose impressions are easily flushed.

Ironically for something titled "The Watchers," this production lacks the basic quality of watchability.

"Staying Alive" is only about trying to breathe life into the then-fading career of John Travolta and making money off a recognizable title.

For those who have an orgasmic reaction to kaiju confrontations, far too little of the film is devoted to them and the overreliance on CGI leeches away the awe associated with the spectacle.

A promising premise, once compromised by an inadequate director, inept actors, horrific dialogue, and a host of other problems, is unable to rise to the surface.

There is nothing imaginary about how bad a misfire this movie is even for the Blumhouse base.

All the pleasure hinted at by the trailer is illusory. This is the month when Hollywood jettisons its refuse and this particular sampling belongs buried deep in a landfill.

A David Ayer/Jason Statham collaboration in 2024 is something to be avoided if any sort of investment of time or money is involved.
