Our take
The Watchers strands a young woman in an Irish forest with three strangers and something that comes at night. You get creature sounds, trapped-coop dread, s-word language, and a bedroom joke. Fine for 13+ who can handle slow creature horror. Sensitive kids will find the nights grim
Story (may spoil tone)
A young artist gets stranded in an extensive, immaculate forest in western Ireland, where, after finding shelter, she becomes trapped alongside three strangers, stalked by mysterious creatures each night.
