The Watchers is the feature film debut of Ishana Night Shyamalan, 24, who adapted the script from a Gothic horror novel.
NEW YORK – Known for supernatural hits such as The Sixth Sense and Signs , Indian-American film-maker M. Night Shyamalan raised his three daughters on a steady diet of horror films.
The movie stars American actress Dakota Fanning as Mina, a young woman who becomes lost in a strange Irish forest and finds shelter in a bunker with three strangers . “There’s so much fear in it, and it’s been so wonderful to confront that fear and try to move through it and learn things about myself.”Shyamalan – who studied film and television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts – worked as one of the writer-directors on Servant , the psychological horror series produced and co-directed by her father.
“Certain things didn’t feel right to me and I just had to curate a process that was more suited to my personality.But like her father, she leans into the psychological and metaphorical aspects of the horror genre.“I think a horror film can be so many different things. To me, it’s the use of fear as a tool to address different things and talk about different emotions.
This is because “we’d watch a movie and... she was able to discern what was exceptional about what we had watched”, he explained.
