All in all, one can say that this is a promising debut, and it makes you curious about what Ishana Night Shyamalan will do with her next film when her last name perhaps weighs less heavily on her shoulders and she can play more freely. - Emma Gray Munthe

M. Night Shyamalan's daughter takes over the horror crown with "The Watched" – a compelling directorial debut full of slick twists. - Emma Thimgren

Ishana Night Shyamalan shows talent as a director, but her debut film lacks the spark needed to become a truly memorable cinematic experience.

I didn't like "The Watched" at all, but I am still curious about what will come next — because even though the film itself isn't a convincing thriller, there are clear signs here that director Ishana Shyamalan will achieve great things in her career. - Fredrik Lagnetoft

I can't really claim that this is worth seeing in the cinema. There are good things, but the majority is generic, and the characters, except for Dakota Fanning, are boring. - Linus Andersen

The plot doesn't really work. Initially, it's good and piques interest, but in the end, it becomes mostly silly and ridiculous. It's hardly frightening or exciting at all.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in this case, unfortunately. No, here it has even landed in the same basket and turned into tasteless applesauce. Ishana Shyamalan has talent, the production is solid. But one wonders if the film would have turned out differently had she distanced herself more from her father. - Andreas Heilborn

Ishana Shyamalan wants very much. But this time it doesn't hold up. - Axel Diedrichs

Ishana Shyamalan has not only tried to follow in her father's footsteps, she mimics and imitates down to the smallest detail. - Elis Holmström

It may not be a perfect film and will not satisfy everyone, especially not the most bloodthirsty horror fanatics. There is little to no violence, blood, or jump scares here, but instead, symbolism and metaphors that are not always appreciated by fans of the genre. - Andreas Samuelson
