Chloe Okuno‘s (V/H/S/94) new horror movie Watcher is headed our way in June, and today IFC Midnight has debuted the official trailer for the Maika Monroe thriller.
Okuno directed the “Storm Drain” segment in our V/H/S/94. IFC Midnight will be releasing Watcher in select theaters on June 3, 2022. It then comes to VOD on June 21, 2022.
In Watcher, Julia (Maika 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.”
Meagan Navarro reviewed Watcher for BD, calling it an “atmospheric and stylish paranoid thriller.” You can also read a lengthy interview with director Chloe Okuno here.
Burn Gorman and Ciubuciu Bogdan Alexandru co-star in the film.
Zack Ford and Chloe Okuno wrote the script, and producers include Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Derek Dauchy, John Finemore, Aaron Kaplan, Mason Novick.
