greyliliyI spent the weekend visiting a friend, and when I expressed I had gottne into horror films, she asked if I wanted to see "Disney's only attempt at a horror film."
Of course I said "sure!"
The Watcher in the Woods is a PG rated horror film from the 1980's that held up surprisingly well, despite the aged effects and older acting styles. It is very much along the lines of "Are You Afraid of the Dakr?" when it comes to more family-friendly horror.
I rather enjoyed the film. It had an amazing setting with the old house and the small town. The mirror-shattered glass themes were wonderful. There was attention to detail throughout the film. There are some genuinely creepy and unsettling moments, especially involving the younger sister, and I loved the characters.
I would highly recommend it if you're looking for horror that isn't going to give you nightmares.
It also makes me want to pick up the novel it's based on, which is always a good sign. :D
