Watcher
Evil wants to be seen.
Directed by Chloe Okuno
Produced by Image Nation Abu Dhabi, Lost City
A taut psychological thriller about a woman's mounting paranoia as she becomes convinced she's being watched by a stalker, blending voyeuristic dread with the isolation of being a foreigner in an unfamiliar city.
As a serial killer stalks the city, Julia — a young actress who just moved to town with her husband — notices a mysterious stranger watching her from across the street.
