Why it’s HorroRated

Watcher is a slow-burn thriller about the experience of being watched and not being believed and Chloe Okuno directs with a formal patience that makes the paranoia feel lived-in. Maika Monroe has become one of horror's most reliable leads and this is among her best work. A film that operates in a register most genre cinema doesn't bother with.

Synopsis

Chloe Okuno's film operates in the register of slow-building paranoia and the specific experience of being watched in public. Maika Monroe's performance is attuned to the texture of that anxiety. A thriller that stays in a smaller register than most of its competition and is better for it.
