• The Watchers (2024)

    Dakota Fanning is an American girl, haunted by causing the death of her
    sister in a car accident when they both were young children, who becomes trapped in a room deep in an Irish forest that's guarded over by
    mythical Gaelic faeries with three others, four if you count one of the victims' husband who is condemned outside and always trying to get in.
    "They only come out at night," as the title of an old Edgar Winter album
    goes, and the victims are free to travel within a set boundary during
    daytime. During darkness, all the faeries come out to "watch" the
    victims through a two-way mirror in the room. Produced by M. Night
    Shyamalan and directed by (I assume) his daughter, who doesn't seem
    quite as shy in giving the audience a good view of "monster characters"
    as her famous dad is. Reminded me of M. Night's 2005 effort The Village
    in many ways and does have some genuinely scary scenes, particularly
    toward the end when we find one of the faeries can transform itself into
    other characters in the film. A solid directorial debut from M. Night's daughter, who may become as accomplished as Francis Ford Coppola's
    daughter Sofia someday.
