‘The Watchers’ – Dakota Fanning is Captured by Sinister Creatures in Intense First Trailer
A group of strangers are trapped in a mysterious bunker in the middle of an uncharted forest in The Watchers. Check out the first trailer.
Mina is left stranded when her car breaks down at the edge of a mysterious forest. She’s forced into the dense woodland, where she finds a woman yelling, urging her to run to a concrete bunker. There, she meets others trapped in the bunker’s single room. One wall is a large window that looks out onto the forest.
There’s something strange out among the trees. Creatures that are watching her and the other captives in the bunker. What are they? Why are they imprisoning humans and watching their every move?
First Trailer
This year’s trend of horror trailers that don’t show too much continues in the first trailer for The Watchers. It’s all atmosphere, creepy visuals, and just enough information.
That has me interested but cautious. This is Ishana Shyamalan’s feature debut. She cut her teeth working on Servant with her father, M. Night Shyamalan – writing and directing several episodes of the Apple TV+ series. She also acted as assistant director on Old. Let’s hope she’s learned from her father’s successes (and mistakes) because, based on this first look, The Watchers has a lot of potential.
The Watchers Cast & Details
The Watchers stars Dakota Fanning, Siobhan Hewlett (Sherlock), Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), Alistair Brammer (Medieval), Oliver Finnegan (Outlander), Anthony Morris (Game of Thrones), and Olwen Fouéré (The Northman).
