Teaser Trailer For Maika Monroe's Great Psychological Thriller WATCHER

Earlier this year during the Sundance Film Festival, I had the opportunity to watch a psychological thriller titled Watcher. The movie stars Maika Monroe as a woman who moves to Romania with her husband and she witnesses something that throws her into a state of panic and Paranoia.

This is a great film worth watching! As I said in my review: “This is not a new story; we’ve seen it told several times in different ways over the years, but this one tells the story well and does a great job of keeping the intensity going over the course of the movie, and you really can feel and get a sense of the paranoia and fear that the young woman is feeling over the course of the movie.”

In the film, “Julia (Monroe) joins her husband (Karl Glusman) when he relocates to his family’s native Romania for a new job. Having recently abandoned her acting career, she finds herself frequently alone and unoccupied. One night, people-watching from her picture window, she spots a vague figure in an adjacent building, who seems to be looking back at her. Soon after, while alone at a local movie theater, Julia’s sense of being watched intensifies, and she becomes certain she’s being followed — could it be the same unknown neighbor? Meanwhile, a serial killer known as The Spider stalks the city.”

I especially enjoyed how the movie came to an end. It was quite a crazy journey! The film is described as being an “elegantly simple depiction of one woman calculating in real time whether to trust her own sense of peril. Maika Monroe vividly conveys Julia’s nervous discomfort as no one takes her intuitions seriously and she pivots between self-doubt and defiant aggression.”

Watcher was written and directed by Chloe Okuno and it will be released on June 3rd, 2022. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think!
