“The Watchers” is the feature directorial debut of Ishana Night Shyamalan based on the book of the same name written by A.M. Shine. The movie is a mystery/thriller that takes place in Western Ireland and follows Mina, (Dakota Fanning) a 28-year-old artist who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest where she finds shelter and unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are stalked by mysterious creatures every night.
