I hadn't seen this movie since it was in the theaters when I was a child. We purchased to project on the side of our home out in the dark desert this year for a large group of friends we had over for a Halloween party and movie night. I forgot how eerie this film was. I previewed it the night before and almost didn't share with friends due to it being perhaps a little to chilling and supernatural for kids to wrap their heads around, but it did great and everyone enjoyed it. Picture quality and sound was good, not excellent, but I really didn't expect the studio to give a buff and shine restoration to this title, especially when it was pressed 9 years ago. It was great to see this again, and I think it was wonderful that, for her final film, Betty Davis really had a great role and she did great.Read full review
I love watching old Disney classic movies and the ones I've never heard of and never seen before. I have never heard or watched the Watcher in the Woods. Until 2 years ago, I was in the mood to watch old Disney movies that I didn't grew up with. So I researched old Disney movies. I was surprised that Disney made this movie like a horror film for family to watch. When you watch The Watcher in the Woods you will feel the vibe and elements from horror films. It feel like you're watching a horror movie from the 70's and early 80's the ways camera was shot, the setting, creepy background music and the story line. It is so rare and very interesting for Disney to do something like that. Disney should do more horror/thriller movie like The Watcher in the Woods.

Who couldn't like a Betty Davis movie? The cast is excellent, the script is well written, and the story line is a surprise. This is not a movie for small children, but could be enjoyed by teens and their family. It makes for a pleasant and stimulating rainy Saturday afternoon.

I was a little concerned when I ordered this due to it being from the early 80s. BUT, it was just the right amount of scary/creepy that my 9 year old loved it. It was rated PG, although I would definitely be a little cautious with kids who scare easily due to the nature of the scariness. It was a good Halloween-type movie.

I had always wanted to see this Disney Classic, but it isn't even available on Disney+, so I bought a DVD and am glad I did. The movie is well shot and holds up nicely for an '80s release. I watched it with my boys aged 6 and 8 and they enjoyed it as well. This movie is supposed to be the only horror movie Disney made, but it plays more as a thriller/suspense film with an "Escape from Witch Mountain" vibe. I recommend it!
