Beauty School : Watcher Trailer: Maika Monroe Has a Stalker in IFC Films’ Thriller Pic

IFC Films has released the official Watcher trailer for its forthcoming thriller drama, which stars Maika Monroe. The film had its world premiere earlier this year at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, and is currently slated to debut in over 500 theaters on June 3 followed by its VOD release on June 21.

Watcher stars Maika Monroe (It Follows), Karl Glusman (Nocturnal Animals), and Burn Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises). Chloe Okuno is directing the film from a screenplay she co-wrote with Zach Ford.

“In the film, Julia joins her husband when he relocates to his family’s native Romania for a new job,” reads the synopsis. “Having recently abandoned her acting career, she finds herself frequently alone and unoccupied. One night, people-watching from her picture window, she spots a vague figure in an adjacent building, who seems to be looking back at her. Soon after, while alone at a local movie theater, Julia’s sense of being watched intensifies, and she becomes certain she’s being followed — could it be the same unknown neighbor? Meanwhile, a serial killer known as The Spider stalks the city.

Watcher is produced by Roy Lee and Steven Schneider of Spooky Pictures, Derek Dauchy, Mason Novick, John Finemore, Aaron Kaplan, and Sean Perrone. James Hoppe, Elizabeth Grave, Ben Ross, Rami Yasin, and Gabi Antal are executive producers.
