Observance
They are watching
Directed by Joseph Sims-Dennett
Produced by Sterling Cinema
A haunting, paranoia-soaked descent into psychological and supernatural horror where grief and isolation become indistinguishable from otherworldly corruption.
In the grip of grief following the death of his young son, his marriage on the rocks and nearing bankruptcy, Parker reluctantly returns to work as a private investigator. Embarking on an unusual assignment to observe a woman from an abandoned apartment, Parker witnesses bizarre happenings surrounding her, unaware that the derelict building that he surveys her from has birthed a dark presence which slowly threatens to consume him.
