The Watch

Look, I wasted most of 90 minutes on this. The production quality is very good and for most of the movie there's intrigue. It's about a female graduate student choosing to spend 4 weeks in a remote fire-watch cabin to complete her masters thesis without excess distraction. But it turns out she gets a lot of bizarre, possible supernatural distractions. The ultimate reveal though is based on a plot that is impossible. I can't say how or why, that would create a spoiler. Especially for anybody who's studied psychology or sociology with a serious interest would see the glaringly stupid and impossible events. The core element of the plot revolves around graduate level academic study in the social sciences. However the writers show their immense lack of basic knowledge. It was a real disappointment. This is a perfect example of what English teachers mean when they "write about what you know." I am amazed that this found a producer. There's more intrigue in that phenomena than the movie itself.
