The profoundly creepy sensation of being observed from the darkness underscores 'The Watchers,' Ishana Night Shyamalan's feature debut. However, despite a premise loaded with unsettling potential, the film ends up a tremendous bore... hints at other rich thematic possibilities that her movie never seems to grasp.
Through an in-media-res opening scene of a man being chased through a labyrinthine forest at dusk, Shyamalan displays a deft command of atmosphere, as unseen creatures chase down the hapless soul and drag him off-screen.
