Although there was so much promise to this movie, the director left out so much information as to what was going on. Comparing it to Rear Window is a criticism of Rear Window. Too many pieces of incident that didn't connect. Why was he getting sick. Why was he throwing up 'tar', as it were. Why is he even monitoring this woman? Who was the child? Why go back and forth to the ocean view and chat with his friend? What's with the jar on the shelf? Who was the male visitor? Just not good enough for me to watch again to pick up what I missed...and I always miss something in movies that I watch more than once. Why end the movie the way he did? Sorry....thumbs down!

I hope you, dear reader, get to read this before subjecting yourself to this "movie". I use the term loosely because this is not even worthy of a student's uni project. I'm supposed to tick a box to let you know if this review contains spoilers. It won't because there's nothing to spoil! There are no explanations for what is happening. Who anyone is. And in the end nothing happens. There's no suspense at all because we don't know anything about these characters or what relevance they have to each other or the story. To call it garbage would be an insult to garbage. It is quite easily the worst movie I have ever endured. I think I'm right in saying the guy in the main role was the writer and director. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he probably owned the camera and microphones and maybe his parents put up the money.

I'll go ahead and say this was one of those horror films, like Alien, Absentia, AM 1200, Banshee Chapter, The Corridor, etc... that is very Lovecratian without overtly rehashing any of that author's stories.Also, a LOT of folks are not going to have the patience for this movie... it's slow... most of the plot is suggested rather than overtly displayed... there's no real gore or nudity (though one scene nearly made me puke)... and the end is open to interpretation. For the people, like me, who do get into stuff like this... subtle horror that will stay with me for days afterward... Observance is a damn fine little film. I wasn't aware of its tiny budget until after I'd watched it... and for me it didn't show. I think horror often works best on this intimate scale anyway.

PLEASE PLEASE do not watch this film. This is by far the worst film I have seen in my life and I've seen some bad ones. I Was waiting for something to happen the whole time the film was playing. But sadly nothing did happen. And everything that was going on in the film just made no sense to me what so ever. . Do yourself a favor and look for something else. Or u will waste over an hour of your life. Terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible. Where these guys get the ideas and story lines from us actually beyond me. Plus the fact that these people are actually getting paid for doing this utter trash is crazy. I think even I could make up a story and film it and still do a better job that's been done on this movie. So all I need to find is someone gullible enough to pay me thousands of dollars for doing it. Sharknado is like a multi Oscar winning movie compared to this.
