It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Obviously inspired by "The Blair Witch Project", "They're Watching" does manage to bring in a few fresh elements that help it to be its own movie instead of a blatant rip-off. The Moldavian backdrop does give the movie a unique feel and look, for starters. Also, the acting is pretty good for the most part, making the characters pretty believable. The cast also brings in some low-key humor that is amusing while at the same time coming across as realistic instead of forced.However, despite those aforementioned good elements, the movie doesn't really work. The main problem with it is that it's much too slow-moving and padded out for its own good. Yes, time should be devoted to set up the situation and the characters, but the movie takes way too long with this. After a while, you'll be impatient and snapping at the movie to simply get on with it. If you are really patient, you'll be eventually rewarded with a somewhat wild climax, but I don't think it's enough compensation for the slow and dreary time that unfolded just before it, especially since the special effects in this sequences are kind of cheesy at times.This is definitely not the worst "found footage" movie that's out there - there are some good things in it - but you'll see that it could have been a great deal better than it actually is.

Like other reviewer said this is good because it's bad. That's the premise you have to understand before you watch this movie. As soon as I saw the trailer, I knew it's gonna be stupid and I would enjoy it. Because who choose a house makeover type of a reality show setting to make a horror movie? This gotta be good (I mean bad)! I gave a 5, but it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I did enjoy the movie as I expected. It just didn't exceed my expectation. That's the reason why I rate this movie 5.For the most of parts, it's kinda dull, but I still had fun watching maybe because I know Kris Lemche(Alex) from Haven. He did a good job as a lovable douche like always. I also liked Dimitri Diatchenko (Vladmir). His attitude is very positive throughout the movie. Like when everyone is surprised by a black cat shooting out from an old oven in a barn, some might take it as an ominous event especially if you consider buying the property, but Vladimir immediately make it up by telling his possible customer that it's a good luck for locals. How can we hate this guy? Other characters are either forgettable or just unlikable except for Becky. She is lovely but other two women are so unlikable. At least, Kate is supposed to be a b***h. Sarah should be a lovable cute chick opposed to the bi**h Kate. However, she is a typical young spoiled dumb princess who doesn't know when to shut up although that could be the director's intention because you know what's gonna happen to her at the end in the first 5 minutes of this movie. Lovely Becky has to be lovely for the twist awaiting. I actually didn't see it coming (I knew something is in the cellar though). Once the movie reaches its climax, it's like a roller coaster; The marching parade of WTF moments. VFX is so cheesy so laughable because it's intended to be that way. Again, I didn't see that coming, but it's OK. If the director chooses that turn, it has to be over-the-top and it was. So it's good! Maybe it's a message from the film makers of this movie, "don't take any reality shows seriously" lolAnyways, if you understand a sense of humor in B horror flicks, you wouldn't regret spending 90 minutes of your life for this movie. Let's watch this with pizzas (extra extra cheese) and cokes (non diet) while stoned.

I created an account just to save some of you the time. This movie is without a doubt being highly rated by its creators to get views. 3/10. The story is weaker than Lou Gehrig's grip on gavel, and the "twist," if you can even call it that, is so anticlimactic, and the entire premise is so poorly conceived that it almost qualifies as some av ant-grade, meta-parody– only worse. Much much worse. The only redeeming quality of this horrible film were some performances that these poor actors were able to muster up amid st the cringe-worthy script. Nothing funny. Nothing clever. Nothing worth watching. Move on. Or rather, movie on.

I liked the trailer of the movie (which reminded me a little bit of Borat's misadventures in Kazakhstan), and decided to give it a chance. If you like a comedy horror with smart jokes and not just mindless killing, you will LOVE this movie. The script is cleverly written, with a funny story, that gave me so many laughs. Actors are unknown to me, but they did an amazing job portraying their characters. Even the "villagers" looked credible in their roles. The movie was shoot in Moldova so you will be able to see some authentic Eastern European scenery. Don't take the movie too seriously and you will have a great time watching it. I give it a well-deserved 9 star rating.
