About ‘The Watchers’
“The Watchers” follows the story of Mina, a 28-year-old artist living in Ireland and working in a pet store. She’s tasked with helping to deliver a rare bird to its next destination, but first, she must drive through an expansive forest with poorly mapped-out roads. After a car break-down Mina is stranded, and she wanders deeper into the woods as she seeks out help.
What she finds is a house with a large, glass wall. Inside there are three strangers with secrets of their own, and each night they stand in front of the glass to show themselves to the mysterious creatures who come out to watch them. Mina’s curiosity deepens, but it soon becomes clear the creatures are dangerous, and each of the strangers will have to tread very carefully if they want to survive.
