Take a Sneak Peek First Look at ‘V/H/S/94’ Filmmaker Chloe Okuno’s New Horror Movie ‘Watcher’! [Video]
One of the horror movies premiering at Sundance 2022 next month that we’re particularly excited about is Watcher, which comes from director Chloe Okuno. The film comes in the wake of Okuno directing the popular segment “Storm Drain” from our V/H/S/94, which introduced the world to a new indie horror icon in the form of the sewer-dwelling Raatma.
Ahead of the world premiere, a “Meet the Artist” video from Sundance this week gives us our very first look at star Maika Monroe (The Guest, It Follows) in Okuno’s debut feature.
Check out the first-look footage below and expect more soon.
Karl Glusman, Burn Gorman, and Ciubuciu Bogdan Alexandru also star.
In Watcher, “A young woman moves into a new apartment with her fiancé and is tormented by the feeling that she is being stalked by an unseen watcher in an adjacent building.”
Zack Ford wrote the script, and producers on Watcher include Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Derek Dauchy, John Finemore, Aaron Kaplan, Mason Novick.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
