SoberChef Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 From producer M. Night Shyamalan comes “The Watchers,” written and directed by Ishana Night Shyamalan and based on the novel by A.M. Shine. The film follows Mina, a 28-year-old artist, who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland. When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night. You can’t see them, but they see everything. “The Watchers” stars Dakota Fanning (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” “Ocean’s Eight”), Georgina Campbell (“Barbarian,” “Suspicion”), Oliver Finnegan (“Creeped Out,” “Outlander”) and Olwen Fouere (“The Northman,” “The Tourist”). The film is produced by M. Night Shyamalan, Ashwin Rajan and Nimitt Mankad. The executive producers are Jo Homewood and Stephen Dembitzer. Joining writer/director Shyamalan behind-the-camera are director of photography Eli Arenson (“Lamb,” “Hospitality”), production designer Ferdia Murphy (“Lola,” “Finding You”), editor Job ter Burg (“Benedetta,” “Elle”) and costume design by Frank Gallacher (“Sebastian,” “Aftersun”). The music is by Abel Korzeniowski (“Till,” “The Nun”). New Line Cinema presents “The Watchers,” set to open in theaters internationally beginning 5 June 2024 and in North America on June 7, 2024; it will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

SaysWho? Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I'll likely be there! While the quality of M. Night's films since the Visit have ranged from OK to good, I do love his knack for atmosphere, and many times I at least find the concept really interesting. As long as it's not a complete critical failure of a film where I question spending the money on something with a 5% RT score, I'll likely see it.

TheLeon Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 He’s a producer, but this isn’t an M. Night movie! It’s directed by his Daughter Ishana, who worked with him on the Apple TV+ show Servant. M. Night does have a movie called Trap that is coming out later this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to say is calling this an "M. Night movie" kinda gives short-shrift to his daughter who is the actual director! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Yeah, this isn't an M. Night film, OP thread title should be updated. But yes, this is directed by his daughter who has been learning the craft through the show he made, Servant. Could be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 This is on Max now. It’s a YA thriller, so if you go in with the proper expectations… it’s still not particularly good. There are a couple fun moments, some cool visuals, but overall it’s mostly boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
