This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I bought this film for 3€ at Woolworth's, and after checking the comments here, which all sounded quite negative, I wasn't hurried to watch it.. until today. And given all the plot holes and silly effects, I must say I had an interesting, and not all-bad experience.Let me explain. My Spanish hearing ability is close to not much, but I bought this partly because it had Spanish soundtrack, and as a linguist I'm always happy to get a lesson. Coordinating the spoken Spanish with the German subtitles keeps me busy, even if nothing much happens. But it did.Maybe too much, maybe an avalanche of horrific moments (at the zoo.. in the subway.. in the mannequin disco, etc.) was somewhat over the top. Maybe too many locked-door experiences, from university lab to restaurant to subway station (again)..That's another point. I love train movies, and by extension subway movies, and this one provided quite much of it. Not only the train on the track, but the whole claustrophobia of subterranean walkways.. Money Train (NY), Tube (Seoul), Kontroll (Budapest), and now this entry for Madrid. Of course mostly CGI, but quite well done. In fact, the little girl with a forklift problem reminded me nicely of both Kontroll and Staplerfahrer Klaus.Plagiarisms? Quotes? Allusions? I can't say. But all in all, I liked this film - not for perfect quality, but for provoking many thoughts (and mostly not bad ones).

As the comments said before ... this movie was boring. I've bought the DVD on the flea-market for 1,50€ and I thought, what can I do wrong? Well, I was proved, that I could have spent the money on something else. The only good part of the movie was when they opened the masks in that fancy house where there was a party. Okay, there's a party ... but from one scene to the other - where the heck are the guests??? Same with the restaurant and the subway-station. ... Talking of subways, when Susana is on that motorcycle and her hands are being taped on it, Toni and Alex are trying to rescue her, 'cause a train is slowly coming closer. Here's the weird part. When they went into the tunnel, it was approximately 100m away from the end of the platform. But when the train chases the motorcycles, it seems like the platform is kilometers away. After watching it, I really regretted it. The idea of the movie was good though, but the result as a whole wasn't good at all.

This film is... uuh... let me think carefully..... crap.A rather expensive movie with teenagers, Madrid's underground, things directly ripped off from another (American) movies, cheese blue screen effects and an ineffective aura of silly mystery which fails to absorb the viewer. The plot is unbearable twisted and laden with absurd, unreal situations, appropriate only for the stoned mind (situations in Jacob's Ladder are generally more believable), and seems to lead to nowhere, until the very end of the movie, when you really realise how silly this movie is! Not only that; in my opinion this movie's been an awful attempt to imitate the typical American teenager-murder movie, so we are landed with the very worst of Spanish films and the very worst of pop-corn Hollywood films. Spain is not a good country for film-making, I should say. In Spain you can only make certain kinds of movies. Moving out of that is shown to lead to dreadful consequences. Not only the budgets are usually very tight; so seems to be Spanish filmmakers' imagination & taste(OK, pick out a few such as A. Amenábar, Álex de la Iglesia, Santiago Segura or Javier Fesser). Did you know that in DVD&Video Rental stores, 'Spanish films' is shown as a whole category? That reinforces the concept I presented earlier: Spain is not a country where a filmmaker can develop, generally. I'll tell you more: Spanish movies' box office is known to do ill most of the times (with a few exceptions like the blockbusting saga 'Torrente' by S. Segura). People here go to American movies most of the time. Should we try to compete and make movies which people will like better that those (quote) stupid American movies with a lot of FX&budget but horrible everythingelse? The answer is simple: NO; we'll do something easier: via advertisement we'll do out best to brainwash the audience into disliking American movies (and culture in general), which are utter crap, and liking OUR very dull film-making style, which is to be divine. That's brilliant thank you very much. "You need to watch more Spanish films"... like hell! Don't be fooled! Only YOU can decide what you need to watch! Sorry for the lengthy, vehement dissertation. In conclusion, if they wanted to make a horror movie, they've thoroughly succeeded; the movie is "horrible"1 out of 10

Version: Spanish audio, English subtitles (by SBS)I don't watch the World Movies channel very often, but when I do, it is usually to watch something awesome like 'Tears of the Black Tiger' or some live-action Asterix movie. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other Spanish horror films I've seen, so I have to hope to hope that the rest aren't as mind-numbingly boring as 'Who's Watching?'.University students Toni (Antonio Hortelano) and Roberto (Lorenzo Armenteros) are on their way to party, but they are faced with the dilemma of having an essay due the next day. The solution? The internet! While trying to download an essay, they have a chat with someone called Keller. This Keller fellow seems slightly unstable, and informs Toni and Roberto that they are now playing Keller's game. From then on, things go bad: Toni, Roberto and a group of their friends are routinely kidnapped and enjoy near death experiences and it appears as though someone is watching them. That oughta show those no-good punks Toni and Roberto that plagiarism is wrong.'Who's Watching?' is a paranoia thriller at heart. That is made painfully obvious at the very start when we are told that thousands of camera are watching us every day, monitoring our safety. I think I lost all interest in the film right then. I don't know what is about paranoia thrillers, but I generally can't get into them. If the film worked as a horror movie, it would probably have been more interesting. Problem is, it doesn't work at all.The script is terrible. It plods along, and frequently fails to make any sense. I generally reserve judgments about acting when a language barrier is involved, but none of the actors in this seem all that convincing. They really belong in a slasher instead of trying to tackle some sort psychological horror. Probably due to the poor script and acting, there is no tension or atmosphere, and the story twists are predictable. It is much longer than it should be: long, drawn out, and boring. If it was shorter and condensed, it may have sustained more interest.'Who's Watching' is boring, and a poor horror film. I really can't think of anyone who might enjoy it - 1/10
