“Bates Motel” Closes Up Shop With Series Finale Trailer
In the series finale, Norman comes home.
After four years on A&E, the Psycho prequel series “Bates Motel” is coming to an end on Monday night, April 24. The tenth episode of the fifth season, penned by Kerry Ehrin and directed by Tucker Gates, will be its very last one, as the show has decided to wrap things up and call it a day – the iconic sets were already torn down earlier this year, so this truly is the end, friends.
Admittedly, I haven’t been keeping up with “Bates Motel,” but I’ve heard from friends and big time Psycho fans that it’s done right by Alfred Hitchcock’s seminal classic. The series even devoted a couple episodes this season to re-imagining the events of Psycho, with Rihanna as Marion Crane – in a twist on the infamous shower scene, Crane ended up fleeing Bates Motel unscathed.
In any event, I just wanted to share the trailer for series finale ‘The Cord,’ which recaps recent events and showcases some footage from the show’s final hour. Check it out below.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
