The Watchers (2024)


A woman's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, stranding her deep in a forest with seemingly no escape. She comes across other lone survivors, who hole themselves up in a bunker every night in order to escape the dangers awaiting them at night.
This film was interesting for as long as it remained enshrouded in mystery. Once the cat is out of the bag, I kind of lost the plot. Seemed like it had a lot of potential with its initial premise, but unfortunately it leads in the most commonplace of directions. This is Ishana Night Shyamalan's debut solo feature, after working on her father's horror series Servant (which also let me down).
