Rating: 2/5 -- Dated Disney horror tale has occult themes, mild scares. Full Review

The acting and writing are barely professional but the art direction, especially Alan Hume's stunning camerawork, gives the pic a gloss. Full Review

It symbolizes the confusion that has been undermining Disney's live-action productions. Craving more stimulating material on one hand but still wedded to reassuring coziness on the other, the studio shortchanges both tendencies. Full Review

When it became obvious that the film's mix of cutesy sentiment and vague scariness wasn't working, the company ordered whole sequences to be rewritten, re-shot or re-edited, then imposed a stupid ending that explains precisely nothing. Full Review

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. Full Review

Even with a lackluster ending, The Watcher in the Woods is one of the more effective young adult horror pictures. Full Review
