I know I’m turning into my mother because while I’m watching things, I can’t help my intrusive “wow I really like her outfit” and “hm, nice decorating” thoughts
I was scared too and all that stuff but I really did like a lot of her outfits
If I had a nickel for every time Maika Monroe starred in an indie horror film where she plays a character that gets followed around by sketchy-ass people that may mean her harm…I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
Chloe Okuno's WATCHER might be the closest a modern film has come to earning the word "Hitchcockian." Maika Monroe and Burn Gorman are perfectly cast and deliver stellar performances, while Okuno's direction infuses the viewer with acute paranoia throughout the running time. A quiet conversation on the subway makes for one of the most suspenseful scenes in recent memory, and the final ten minutes of the film are jaw-dropping. It announces Okuno (who helmed the unforgettable "Storm Drain" segment of VHS 94 before this) as a major talent to watch. Highly recommended for fans of razor sharp thrillers, which just aren't made like this anymore
I feel like I’m always saying “where’s the craftsmanship?” throughout modern horror movies.
Not for this one.
I shut up and gasped and went “no no no no NO!”
Very well made. Maika is amazing. It’s all so good.
