And They Watched

About This Movie

And They Watched is an intriguing blend of drama and horror, exploring the weight of moral choices tied to capital punishment. The atmosphere is thick with dread, helped by its minimalist setting that heightens the unease. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build gradually, which is somewhat unsettling. The performances are solid, particularly the custodian, who embodies a mix of resignation and horror over his duties. What stands out is how the film tackles the theme of redemption versus guilt, making it a thoughtful piece amidst the horror elements. The practical effects used in the scenes of the electric chair are stark and visceral, adding to the film's overall impact. It’s a unique take that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
