Leave your thoughts about The Watcher in the Woods.
| New York TimesVincent CanbyI challenge even the most indulgent fan to give a coherent translation of what passes for an explanation at the end. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergFans of old-fashioned, atmospheric ghost tales will forgive the film's obvious faults, but even they will have a hard time generating much enthusiasm for the movie. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawA movie about how a camera presents a point of view and of how that point of view, if it's not attached to a specific identity, can become menacingly voyeuristic. |
| Associated PressBob ThomasWatcher in the Woods is a first-class thriller, far superior to the usual run of frightened-girl, creepy house movies. |
| People MagazinePeople StaffDavis, in her 50th year in movies, is wonderfully wicked. But she can't compensate, especially for the contrived ending of this Disneyville Horror. |
| NerdistKyle AndersonEven with a lackluster ending, The Watcher in the Woods is one of the more effective young adult horror pictures. |
| Sight and SoundJoseph StannardThe Watcher in the Woods is a haunting, unusual film, steeped in a strange magic that's only enhanced by the dense thicket of rumour and myth that surrounds it. |
| TV GuideTV Guide StaffThis tepid ghost story fails to focus on either its story or its target audience. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe acting and writing are barely professional but the art direction, especially Alan Hume's stunning camerawork, gives the pic a gloss. |
| User ReviewBrent HProbably the scariest and best horror movie made by Disney. A classic. |
