The Watcher in the Woods is a 1980 supernatural horror film starring Bette Davis and David McCallum. Produced by Disney, it seems viewers were shocked to see this film come from that company. It's atmospheric in a spooky kind of way.

I don't remember this one. Bette Davis could be very frightening in movies like Whatever happened to Baby Jane? The Nanny, and a made for TV movie based on a Tom Tryon novel, Harvest Home.
ReplyDeleteShe had broad skills, didn't she!
Delete...Disney releases a lot material that Walt would have never done.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Disney fan, then or now.
DeleteNow this is an oldie I have heard about but never seen. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it :)
DeleteThere's no way I have time to watch this one today. I'm much too far behind. However, I'm bookmarking it, because I am a BIG fan of David McCallum.
ReplyDeleteHe's a treasure. His career has been so long-lasting.
DeleteOne of my faves. Almost anything with Betty Davis and I am in.
ReplyDeleteShe's a movie must-see. Watching a marathon of movies through her career would be fun.
DeleteOh goodness! I know I saw this back then and wasn't very impressed. I watched it because of Bette Davis, really. Old as she was--LOL!
ReplyDeleteShe managed to keep her career going.
DeleteThis sounds good, I will have a look later. Thanks! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI hope it suits you :)
DeleteDespite the cast, I might give this one a pass -- at least till after I get out of the woods this summer!
ReplyDeleteAh, but Fall Is Here! :)
DeleteThanks for this.
ReplyDeleteI can remember watching David McCallum in TV series The Man from UNCLE!
All the best Jan
I was a fan of that show, too. Fond memories :)
DeleteI'm also surprised Disney made a scary movie for adults.
ReplyDeleteThey were trying to broaden their appeal, I imagine.
