So this is a horror film not only made by Disney but actively promoted as a Disney film. |
Fraught with production problems and a negative reception by cinema-goers in America meaning re-shoots that were hampered by an actors strike can only mean this is a disaster of a film and not the film I remember of my childhood, right? |
Well speaking of my childhood I was had almost completely convinced myself that I never watched a Disney made horror film (yes I know Disney do make horror films but they aren’t released on the Disney label) because such a film couldn’t exist. |
Well I found it and despite the production problems mentioned this is still a surprisingly good film. |
Starring Bette Davis who puts on a very convincing English accent, The Watcher in the Woods is about an American family that move into a very fancy English home where their daughters start experiencing supernatural goings on within the woods. |
This is aimed probably at children to early teens but manages to get many of the things right that a successful 70’s horror film does. |
The music, the atmosphere, locations and overall look and feel of the film feel just right. |
A few jump-scares and clever camera work, the mirror scene is simply brilliant, plus it rarely strays from the main story which at 80 minutes means it is nicely paced. |
The performances do the job but are a bit wooden, especially from the lead, apart from Bette Davis who is really the only standout performer here playing the part of a cantankerous old woman. So basically playing most Bette Davis roles but with a superb English accent. |
The story is a basic haunting tale and given how the original ending involved an alien trying to get home (this is two years before E.T.) for once I’m glad a film was changed because American audiences didn’t like it. |
Moving it into the supernatural saved it. |
So despite being a child’s or early teens film (or supposed to be) this is far more mature than you would expect from an equivalent film for that demographic. |
In fact this succeeds far more than a lot of modern horror films do. |
Watcher in the Woods is apparently being remade with Anjelica Huston in Bette Davis role and Benedict Taylor returning. |
It is being directed by Sabrina and the Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart so maybe this one will actually resemble a children’s film. |

We encourage critical thinking skills and logical reasoning through our Montessori style of pedagogy. We realize that children need to be taught “HOW to think not WHAT to think”, as this is the future of education. |

Review title of OpenWorldFanBuy this game, it's so much fun! |
If you like crisp, bright graphics and a ton of gameplay, this is for you. If you liked de Blob, this game is comparable in sytle. Tons of collectables and races and open world gameplay. I was thrilled to see this as a Gold November deal. Update: The races are impossible on the last island but it is still a fun game. |

How did this game get released like this? While there is potential here - the game is a 3D platform/collector, and the devs have built a cute world. Unfortunately, the game is rendered virtually unplayable by a combination of poor controls and an absolutely ABYSMAL camera. Controls are very floaty and make precise plat... |

Incitement at Tel Aviv University or “Voices from Gaza”? |
The Law School of Tel Aviv University will hold today (Thursday April 15) a conference under the title, “Voices from Gaza,” composed purely of far leftist speakers. It will be based on “video conferencing.” Some of the speakers are well known as supporters and defenders of the Hezb’Allah and the Hamas in the United ... |
The conference chairman in Israel is Prof. Uri Hadar (Tel Aviv University, psychology) – a signatory on almost all the petitions of the radical Left. These include statements supporting Azmi Bishara and Tali Fahima, as well as support for people refusing to serve in the Israeli army. Maariv has learned that numerou... |
Recently the Board of Governors of the University has been holding a fierce debate over the radical faculty members there who support the boycott against university. Similar conferences to this triggered rage in the past among donors to the university. But this time it appears a red line was crossed. Because this ti... |
The Hamas could not dream of a better spokesperson! She is Jewish, daughter to parents who survived the Holocaust, and teaches at the prestigious Harvard. But even in the academic world it is impossible to disguise Roy’s un-academic political character. Tufts University refused to publish one of her articles because... |
Another American in the conference is Richard Norton. He does for the Hezb’Alloh everything that Roy does for the Hamas. The two even published an article together that explains that the Hamas is just seeking peace and so everyone needs to talk with it. |
And there is another one not much different, one Robert Blecher, holding the same positions as the two spokeswomen for the jihad. These jihadi movements, he claims, are not what we thought. Terror? Murder? Oppression of women? Fuggedaboutit! The Jihad does not need its own PR staff when American universities ha... |
So here we have supporters of refusal to serve in the Israeli army and groupies of Azmi Bishara, on the one hand, meeting with American apologists for terror organizations and people from Gaza complaining about Israeli war crimes. There have been a lot of conferences at Israeli universities dressed up as academic even... |
As noted, some officials at the University are outraged at the holding of this conference, but their timid fears of going public are having the reverse effects. Large numbers of donors now see the University as a bastion of the extremist Left, even though such people are in the minority. |
The problem is not in the fact that such conferences are being held, composed of radicals and extremists, but rather in the fact that there is no chance in hell that a conference could be held there from the other side of the political spectrum, composed purely of people holding rightist views on politics and policies... |
