The Watchers (2024)

In The Watchers, a 28-year-old artist named Mina gets stranded in a dense forest in western Ireland after her car breaks down. Seeking shelter, she stumbles upon a concrete bunker called The Coop, where three strangers are already living. Each night, theyre forced to stand before a mirrored wall while mysterious creatures-known only as the Watchers-observe them. The group must follow strict rules to survive never go outside after dark, and never enter the underground tunnels where the Watchers retreat during the day. As Mina tries to understand the creatures and the strange dynamics inside the Coop, she uncovers unsettling truths about her fellow survivors and the forest itself. The film leans into themes of surveillance, identity, and the fear of being watched, building tension through isolation and psychological unease. Its a slow-burn horror story that focuses more on atmosphere and dread than outright scares.
