Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Mina, an artist in her late twenties, becomes stranded in an expansive Western Ireland forest in The Watchers. While wandering the forest, she manages to find shelter with three other strangers, but they soon become trapped. Things get even worse when mysterious creatures begin to stalk them each night.
Screen Rant interviewed The Watchers writer and director Ishana Shyamalan about her directorial debut. She discussed the influence of Irish folklore and how she blended it with things she found inherently terrifying. Shyamalan also touched on the theme of found family that threads throughout the movie and shuts down rumors of connections to her father's movie Trap.
This film is based on Irish folklore, but at its center is a universal theme of found family. Can you discuss how that theme helps ground the film? Ishana Shyamalan: I think once we had decided that this was going to be the book that we were going to adapt, it was going to be shot in Ireland. I was very much enamored with how A.M. had written such a rich Irish environment, and it felt only right to do it there.
Ishana Shyamalan Explains The Nod To The Watchers In The Trap Trailer Fans noted a nod to The Watchers in the trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's next movie, Trap. However, she shut down the theory that they are set in a shared universe.
