“u0026#39;Theyu0026#39;re Watchingu0026#39; is a very strange viewing experience. Itu0026#39;s almost impossible to fully understand what I mean by this without having seen the film yourself, but itu0026#39;s the tone that is utterly bizarre. The film shows immense patience for the first 98% of the run time and then just completely unleashes everything it has in the final 2%. The good news is that both sides of the coin are done well. The build-up is great and handled with class and then the conclusion gives the film some X-factor and memorability.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a found footage film, which despite copping a lot of flack, is still a very effective film-making method, allowing directors to create a very realistic feel in their films. The cast is unknown (at least to me) and yet perform well with a lot of charisma and chemistry. The story is slow-burning, but more than creepy enough to keep the audience on edge and and knowing that more is going on than meets the eye. The twist at the end is the icing on the cake and tops off a fine horror film very nicely.”
