"The Watchers" riddled with loose ends, inconsistencies

The Watchers is another entry in what I call the sensory-deprivation horror subgenre, following Bird Box and A Quiet Place.

The former deals with creatures that drive you mad if you see them, while the latter focuses on the sense of hearing: If you make a sound, it will alert the monsters, with tragic consequences.

Quotes by Stephen H. Provost (?)

“According to some, the club’s “theft” of the 1925 title from Pottsville activated a curse against the Cardinals franchise, which managed to win just one more title, in 1947. As of this writing, it has since gone 67 years without a championship, the longest streak in the NFL”
