If movies like “The Watchers” have taught us anything it’s that when your Bluetooth device flashes ancient runes at you, you’re probably about to have a bad day. I’m not sure when exactly supernatural creatures learned how to code or how they’re replacing digital readouts and binary numbers with magic symbols, and I’ll grant you it doesn’t seem to happen terribly often, but it usually seems to presage something magically deadly (or at least magical death-adjacent).
“The Watchers” stars Dakota Fanning as Mina, an American working at a pet store in Ireland. She’s asked to deliver a rare Golden Conure — don’t look it up, it’s just a yellow parrot — to a faraway zoo.
