The Watcher in the Woods	comment	A 1980 live-action Disney film based on the YA novel by Florence Engel Randall, The Watcher In The Woods is a supernatural mystery about a family that moves into an old British manor. Shortly after, the two daughters attract the attention of what appears to be a ghostly presence lurking in the woods surrounding their house. Elder daughter Jan finds herself unraveling a thirty-year-old mystery in order to save her little sister Ellie...as well as another young girl thought lost long ago.The movie is notable for being a well-done example of a suspenseful thriller, making good use of atmosphere to develop a sense of tension and urgency as the plot unfolds and creating a rather emotionally challenging story while still being accessible to kids (although younger children may find it too scary), while also managing to be quite different from the typical Disney fare of the era. The initial advertising for the film played up this aspect, warning parents that the film was somewhat darker than the typical Disney fare.The film is also known among fans for its Troubled Production. Due to Disney's rush to release Watcher in time for the fiftieth anniversary of star Bette Davis' film debut, special effects in the climactic final sequence were left unfinished, resulting in derision and disappointment from test audiences. An attempted second ending, minus the special effects, left the resolution so vague that audiences were confused as to what had just happened. Finally, at the last minute, a very different third ending was filmed with a new director; this final version was the one that made it to theaters in 1981. The multiple endings led to a long-running Urban Legend that the original ending had been so terrifying that Disney refused to release it. The two unused endings were later made available as an extra to the remastered Blu-Ray release.

The Watcher in the Woods / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: It is a suspense-driven mystery horror with several surreally nightmarish imagery and subtle eerieness that goes unexplained until the climax where the cause of the unexplained incidents is a frightening Eldritch Abomination appears, causing the appropriate amount of fear from the onlookers. This storyline contrasts heavily with the usual light-hearted tone of Dinsey as a whole.

The Watcher in the Woods / int_496569e8	comment	Race Against the Clock: To recreate and complete the initiation ceremony before the eclipse ends. This is particularly critical because not only do eclipses happen rarely, but the amount of time between them means if the chance is missed this time, the three friends (and for that matter, Mrs. Aylwood) will be dead by the next eclipse. Which means the ceremony cannot be recreated and Karen not be reunited with her mother.

It turns out she was trying to help, and that in fact by dislodging her from the branches, she saved Jan's life. Tom Colley is also played up as a creepy and crazy hermit through one scene where he confronts and chases Jan in the chapel and another where, after she finds his hunting lodge full of suspended dead animals, he appears to try and menace her. But it turns out the animals are ones he found and could not save like the other strays and intended to bury, while both times he confronted her he had mistaken her for Karen and wanted to prove if she was real or a ghost.

When Ellie first suggests the house might be haunted, their father scoffs at the notion; later after both she and Jan relate Mrs. Aylwood's story, he wryly comments that if there is a ghost, it's fine with him as long as it just stays in the woods. And then he departs for London to work on his music, and is thus absent for all the supernatural goings-on as they escalate for the climax; it is noted he's coming back near the end of the movie, for the eclipse, but naturally everything is resolved before he can put in an appearance.

The Watcher in the Woods / int_d57b732d	comment	Would Not Hurt A Child: Played with, but ultimately played straight. Aside from the moment when the flash of light knocks Jan in the pond and she nearly drowns, the Watcher actually seems to go out of its way to help save her and Ellie from harm, even when in situations that it had initially caused: it causes Ellie to call out to Jan and make her move from a particular boulder at the dirtbike race so that she is not struck by the flying bike after it crashes; after its presence spooks the horses and causes Ellie's to charge right toward a road where a truck is barreling down on her all unaware, it makes the truck crash to keep her from being hit; and after it stops their mother from taking them away by making their car stall, it urges Jan to drag Ellie and her mother off of the bridge so that when its power strikes the bridge and sends the car toppling into the ravine, they are safely away. Even the pond incident can be justified by it bringing Mrs. Aylwood to Jan's rescue (which incidentally allows them to learn the backstory behind what happened to Karen). On the whole the Watcher might cause danger, but because it needs the girls to achieve its goal, it still ends up protecting them from it.
