Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Lender and Wright infuse things with a Sam Raimi-like absurdity that allows the gory mayhem to have a surrealistic spunk that had me giggling madly at almost all the right moments. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 11, 2016 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Neither very plausible nor scary, this found-footage exercise is nonetheless entertaining enough for a spell ... Mar 29, 2016 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com An hour and fifteen minutes of tedium is too long to wait for two or three minutes of pleasantly cheesy. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 25, 2016 Full Review Kellie Haulotte The Abstract For those who watch HGTV's House Hunters International will find They're Watching a pretty funny and (sometimes spooky) spoof. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 9, 2019 Full Review Nathanael Hood The Young Folks There is no reason why They're Watching needed to be found footage. And there's no reason for anyone to watch it. Rated: 1/10 May 29, 2016 Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects It makes some progress, but it unsurprisingly stalls where so many found footage films have failed before.

Nick S Even a baby dropped on its head all its infant life could easily guess every tediously predictable moment in this 90 minute waste of everyone's time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was bad in a way that I personally am very entertained by and love lol Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member the movie had a lot of potential to be a good found footage horror comedy. the bones are basic for the genre but strong, there is a strong sense of comedic timing, and the twist, although again basic, is compelling enough. the performances, writing, and direction are all competent, and the editing and pacing has potential. where the movie goes wrong is clearly a loss of budget in the third act. far from the even tone and aesthetic of the first two acts, the third can best be described as balls to the wall spirit halloween goofy crap. there is lightening of every color, and that's about it. it's filmed like a turn based video game. my guess is their sfx budget ran out before they could finish the third act, and the lackluster everything else shows little glimmers of brilliance enough to betray that as the crew simply running out of creative steam while finishing a potentially great movie with such a dumb ending that can't be fixed. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This film should be burned on a stake Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member ????????????????????😕😕😕😕 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/19 Full Review Audience Member Horrible acting and not scary at all. The premise and plot aren't that interesting. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
