Trailer Synopsis Cast

More and more UFO sightings occur every day. Across the globe people are losing time, friends and loved ones disappear, while the Men in Black are perpetually lurking in the background. In a sleepy seaside village, three women search the skies for a sighting of a UFO that is repeatedly haunting the area. Every day they venture out until one day they return having completely lost 4 hours from their lives. Their need to understand the UFO's and why they are here opens a world they could never have imagined and takes them into the heart of a dark and secretive universe populated by the Men in Black. Coming face to face with the unknown, they begin to realize that they have been profoundly affected by their encounter. To make matters worse, they begin to evolve into something amazing, yet horrifying - something beyond their worst nightmares. Beware the Dark Watchers. Written by Philip Gardiner

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This is confusing. The poster and official web site states the movies name is "Dark Watchers - The Women In Black" but on IMDb the name is "Men in Black: The Dark Watchers". Decide please!Film projects employs most often a mixed crew. You find professionals with lifelong experience mixed with those who are at the beginning of a career and learning. Some film projects with fantasy budget has perhaps the fewest inexperienced crew members as opposed to low-budget films. This is a super low budget film. I would not really categorize this film as a motion picture. Somewhere there is a lowest level that a film has to reach for me to call it a feature film. This film does not reach anywhere near that level. This is something else. An unsuccessful hobby project or school project maybe but certainly not some thing to charge the public for viewing. This production falls flat. I do mean everything. Among the most notable is the directing and camera / visualization. Regarding the actors performance - this movie will not boost anyone's career. Maybe it's bad directing, which is the cause? In that case, I sincerely hope that the actors and crew are given the opportunity to show what they really can perform in future projects. About the directing. I seldom say things "suck" but in this case after giving it a really long thinking there is no options: The directing of this movie really sucks. After watching this movie I digged in to Philip Gardiners life and production history and I am not surprised this is the result of his craft. Philip Gardiner is the living proof that quantity is not a measurement of quality. I do doubt we will ever see a Gardiner production nominated for an Oscar or any other significant award of recognition. Do not pay to see this movie. Rather call a distant relative you did not want to talk to the last 10 years than spend time on this.

I love B movies, I grew up on cheap monster movies and they are a pleasure of mine. Saying that, know this. Men in Black Dark Watcher was beyond horrible. Easily the worst movie I have ever seen and thats after sitting through small town film fests. The lack of story was attempted to be covered by strange angles, fish eye lens tricks and and odd distortions which just make any attempt at taking the movie seriously impossible. The dialog was junk and the special effects, while low grade even for a B movie would have been passable if they didn't try to pile up multiple effects destroying every scene. The focus seemed mostly to have every female in the movie wear as little as possible and choose between two acting methods, stupid as possible or wet your pants scared. Neither worked. To sum up: Horrible acting, too many cheap special effects, horrible camera and cheap story. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Not even worth watching to make fun of.

Normally, I never bother to review movies. This time however, I feel that I am obligated to warn others. Do not watch this movie. Just don't do it. It is seriously bad. If you were to take the worst Sci-Fi channel original movie you can think of and wrap that in a High School students version of the x-files, it would still be better than this movie. I think there was some kind of plot, but it was not easy to tell what it was exactly. There were a couple points in the movie where the some boobies were shown, so at least there was one positive point. I am trying hard to think of another. Oh, I know. At one point the two girl are walking through the woods, one in high heels for some reason. Anyhow, as they get close the beach they show a closeup of a nice Canon DSLR. That, I though, was a nice camera. I think that was pretty much the only good parts. If I had to choose between watching this movie again and beating myself to death with me own arm, it would be a simple choice.

I tried, I really did try to appreciate this, but the LAME attachment to Men In Black (Its actually WOMEN IN BLACK-*COUGH* *AHEM* *LOL*)..when this is a very, very.........VERY lame parasitic attempt to siphon the fans of an actually entertaining franchise made me sick.The story is non existent, You WILL often find yourself asking (To Yourself) "What the hell does this have to do with the theme of Men In Black? "WHY are these people having casual conversations about nothing in particular?", "Why am I here?", "Who stole the last 75 minutes of my life and how do I get it back?"The "Character development" LOL...was a series of inconsequential conversations between inconsequential nobodies that lasted a total of about 10 minutes. The acting is C grade at best and From the start you can tell.I think I would have enjoyed this more (Slightly)...If it weren't toted as a sequel to something obviously well beyond the scope of this director(And infinitely more enjoyable and entertaining). Stay within boundaries and tame your ambitions before they misdirect you sir, you set the scope way too high and failed to deliver the experience. Sorry but the truth stings when its not what you want to hear.This was a total wreck and should not have been tied in ANY way to Men In Black. There are no aliens(More like low budget ghosts) although you will definitely feel alienated by the fallacy in its advertised motive(Sequel) and medium(MiB).
