Summary
New footage from M. Night Shyamalan's daughter's film The Watchers was unveiled at CinemaCon. The movie revolves around strangers trapped in a box in the woods, watched by mysterious creatures. With supernatural events taking place throughout the movie, the new footage provides a little more context for the story.
New images from The Watchers were unveiled at CinemaCon, revealing more about what to expect from Ishana Night Shyamalan's directorial debut. The supernatural film created by the daughter of director M. Night Shyamalan revolves around strangers trapped in a box inside a forest. They are also being watched by mysterious creatures in the forest, who seem to react to everything they do.
Now, Warner Bros. has unveiled new footage from The Watchers at CinemaCon, where Screen Rant was in attendance. The footage shows Dakota Fanning's Mina talking to her parrot, telling him she's leaving and that he should "try not to die" before the pair get stuck in the woods. Her car stops and disappears. She ends up meeting a woman who opens a door, leading to a room with a one-way window where monsters reside outside, but she can't see them. Mina then explores a cave where a monster is hiding. It also reveals psychological elements, with a woman believing that her dead husband is on the TV screen before someone escapes and is apparently killed.
The Watchers has already presented itself as a unique supernatural horror story, featuring unknown monsters and strange locations. The new footage emphasizes some aspects of the film that were previously known, such as the room with the one-way window and Mina wandering out of the room at some point. The premise of the film reflects the novel on which it is based, by AM Shine , showing the mystery of its story reflected on screen.
However, the footage introduces new concepts, revealing that The Watchers may have a more psychological twist than anything monstrous that has been teased on screen. Although Shyamalan's daughter may have her own style of filmmaking, differentiating her from her father, it is also possible that she will follow in his footsteps, with a wild and unpredictable ending. If the movie has a twist at the end, as is the case with her father's films, the TV screen showing a dead relative could be a clue as to what is really going on.
Even with this new glimpse of the movie, The Watchers is still shrouded in mystery. We still don't know what the supernatural entities in the forest are, how the one-way room ended up in the forest and what Mina's captors want from her and the rest of the people trapped there. Given the new details presented in the images, it seems that the answers will be much more complex than monsters in the forest. It's likely that most of the mystery will remain a secret until the movie is finally released.
Watchmen hits theaters on June 14.
Based on the novel by AM Shine, The Watchers follows Mina (Dakota Fanning), a 28-year-old artist trapped in the middle of a forest in Ireland. Her momentary relief when she finds shelter is destroyed when she discovers other strangers in the same situation - but they are stalked every night by invisible creatures.
