WATCH ME

Tess finds herself at the grasp of this evil spirit when her friend views a video file on her e-mail titled “Watch Me.” When she discovers her friend dead only moments later, she struggles to discover what caused her death. “Watch Me” bears competent pacing, and a story that takes its time mounting tension and suspense even at a little over an hour. Pair that with a spine-tingling score, and you’re set with an utterly atmospheric horror entry that’s suitable for fans of Asian horror, or just horror buffs in general. Ansley’s direction is wonderful as she can take clichés and twist them to deliver a punch in the gut. The ghosts method of punishment, the way she’s often discovered, and her ability to breeze by her victims until she’s ready to reveal herself end as truly nail biting moments that Ansley pulls off. “Watch Me” is so much fun, and there are too numerous moments where I was utterly surprised at how much skill were inserted into the tense sequences. One of my favorite sequences involve Tess witnessing the ghost unraveling from her hiding place, and the genuine twist of Tess’ only confidante being a psychotic film fanatic. “Watch Me” is often times very focused and draws out tension with genuinely surprising plot twists, and a frantic finale. Frances Marrington is strong as heroine Tess attempting to explore the origins behind the online video file that results in gruesome deaths, and Ansley finishes the film on a morbid whisper instead of an over-the-top demonstration, and that's why it works.
