‘Watcher’ Trailer — ‘It Follows’ Star Maika Monroe Shines In This Stormy, Creepy New Teaser
Today we got the first teaser trailer for Watcher, a definite horror stand out of Sundance 2022. The chilling new thriller stars It Follows breakout Maika Monroe and continued to make waves with its SXSW showcase. Check it out the trailer below.
In Watcher, Julia (Maika Monroe) joins her husband (Karl Glusman) when he relocates to his family’s native Romania for a new job. Having recently abandoned her acting career, she finds herself frequently alone and unoccupied. One night, people-watching from her picture window, she spots a vague figure in an adjacent building, who seems to be looking back at her. Soon after, while alone at a local movie theater, Julia’s sense of being watched intensifies, and she becomes certain she’s being followed — could it be the same unknown neighbor? Meanwhile, a serial killer known as The Spider stalks the city.
