‘Watcher’ Full Trailer — Evil Wants To Be Seen In Brooding New Footage
Today we get to peek at the first full trailer for Sundance standout Watcher, a chilling thriller from filmmaker Chloe Okuno (V/H/S/94). The new footage delivers moody atmosphere, undeniable scares, and lots of pitch-dark mystery. Horror hero Maika Monroe (It Follows, The Guest) stars in the film, and we just can’t seem to take our eyes off her. Check out the new trailer and poster below.
In Watcher, Julia (Maika Monroe) joins her husband (Karl Glusman) when he relocates to his family’s native Romania for a new job. Having recently abandoned her acting career, she finds herself frequently alone and unoccupied. One night, people-watching from her picture window, she spots a vague figure in an adjacent building, who seems to be looking back at her. Soon after, while alone at a local movie theater, Julia’s sense of being watched intensifies, and she becomes certain she’s being followed — could it be the same unknown neighbor? Meanwhile, a serial killer known as The Spider stalks the city.
Watcher had its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and most recently screened at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival. Watcher will open theatrically on June 3rd from IFC Films. Dread Central’s Chad Collins caught the film out of Sundance where he called it “sensational” and “bone-chilling”. Read his full review here.
Writer/director Chloe Okuno’s work also includes writing a remake of Audrey Rose for Orion Pictures and writing and directing a segment of the anthology series V/H/S/94.
