2024 is the year with some exciting horror movies releasing in theatres. M Night Shyamalan is one filmmaker known for peculiar stories that baffle our minds. Now, his daughter, Ishana Night Shyamalan, is following in his footsteps and making her directorial debut with The Watchers. It is based on A.M. Shine’s book of the same name. Like her father, Ishana is also profoundly interested in telling horror stories. Her upcoming film’s first teaser trailer gives the right kind of chills.
The Watchers is a horror film that stars Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere. As seen in the teaser trailer, Mina, an artist in her 20s, gets trapped in an abandoned property in a forest in western Ireland. She plays music while trapped with three other strangers in the same property. The forest seems relatively calm. However, it’s an eerie silence and not tranquillity.
One of the people tells Mina that they (the creatures) come every night and keep an eye on them. These creatures watch these people every till the morning. When a lady tells Mina they will be happy to see someone new, the creatures suddenly start “applauding”. The applause sounds more like they’re ready to attack. It’s not a pleasant sound. Even though the characters say they can’t be seen, in the end, we see the hands of two creatures that look ghastly.
Just like M Night Shyamalan, Ishana has managed to capture the hauntingness and mystery of the forest quite well. The Watchers Teaser Trailer helps us understand the premise but doesn’t give away much. Thus, we are intrigued about what those invisible creatures are and why they are keeping an eye on these humans.
The Knock at the Cabin director shared the trailer on his social media and praised his daughter. He wrote, “From making shorts, to going to @nyutisch school, to becoming one of our top writer/directors on Servant to this incredible moment of #TheWatchers in theaters this summer… @ishy_night has always made me very proud. And even better than making a dazzling film, she is a wonderful person.”
