Watcher

"Imagine a movie like the classic Rear Window, but from the perspective of the person being watched... and the person doing the watching from the other side of the window could be a killer. That's how we could summarize Watcher, a psychological thriller starring Maika Monroe (It Follows) that had a great response at film festivals like Sundance and SXSW. The story follows a young woman (Monroe) who moves with her husband (Karl Glusman) to Romania when he's relocated there for work. Alone for most of the day in an unfamiliar country and with a language she doesn't understand, she gradually becomes more paranoid about the presence of the voyeur at the window, as well as a wave of recent murders. Director Chloe Okuno creates an oppressive psychological atmosphere for her protagonist, masterfully handling the camera and spaces to gradually reveal the crucial elements that provoke and maintain tension."
