There are whispers of a great movie in The Watchers, with Ishana’s directorial eye occasionally shining through the film’s middling aspects, however at present her directing style feels imitatively beholden to superficial notions of M. Night’s storytelling sensibilities, and I’d love for her to find her footing amidst the depths of the forest.

Barbarian is a wild ride full of twists and turns, sure to light a fire under the butt of hardened horror fans and would-be screenwriters alike.
