The Watched brings chills this Summer (horror film: trailer).

This summer, get ready to peer into the shadows with the chilling new thriller “The Watched,” hitting cinemas on the 14th of June 2024. If you’ve ever felt like someone was watching you, this film will confirm your worst fears—and you won’t see them coming. From the suspenseful minds of producer M. Night Shyamalan and his writer-director daughter, Ishana Night Shyamalan, “The Watched” draws us into a deceptively serene yet spine-tingling setting. Based on the haunting novel by A.M. Shine, the film transports us to a vast, untouched forest in western Ireland. The story follows the plight of Mina, played by the ever-compelling Dakota Fanning, a 28-year-old artist whose quest for peace becomes a fight for survival.

Trapped in an eerie shelter with three strangers, their nightly ordeal begins as they are stalked by unseen creatures that see everything—while our protagonists see nothing. As paranoia builds and the forest’s dark secrets unravel, viewers will be gripping their seats, watching through their fingers. Will Mina’s artistry help her escape, or will the canvas of the forest be painted in terror?

Joining Dakota Fanning are Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouéré, forming an ensemble that’s as mysterious as the plot itself. Behind the camera, the Shyamalans have teamed up with director of photography Eli Arenson and production designer Ferdia Murphy to craft a world that’s as visually arresting as it is unsettling.

As the premiere approaches, remember, these creatures aren’t just part of the film’s imagination—they’re a reminder that in the lush, shadowy corners of Ireland, watching eyes may linger. So, mark your calendars for June 14th, invite someone you can clutch during the scary parts, and prepare to ask yourself: #AreYouWatching?

And remember, just when you think you know what’s lurking in the dark, think again. “The Watched” promises a plot twist that only a Shyamalan could deliver.
