Davis, in her 50th year in movies, is wonderfully wicked. But she can't compensate, especially for the contrived ending of this Disneyville Horror.

People Magazine
Watcher in the Woods is a first-class thriller, far superior to the usual run of frightened-girl, creepy house movies.

The 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.

It doesn't settle for cheap boring scares and or cheap gory scares.

Rating: 3/5 --
This being an early Eighties Disney film, there aren't too many headless corpses lurking in the house and surrounding woods, but there are still some genuine shivers.

I challenge even the most indulgent fan to give a coherent translation of what passes for an explanation at the end.

The psychic alien time-warp plot is too silly for adults and not daft enough to make it a proper children's treat.
