“Every time I look over there, he’s just staring right at me.” IFC Films has debuted the full official trailer for Watcher, a stylish Hitchcockian psychological thriller marking the feature debut of talented filmmaker Chloe Okuno. This first premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival to many positive reviews, and it also stopped by the SXSW Film Festival. Arriving in theaters this June. An American woman moves into a new apartment in Bucharest, Romania with her fiancé only to be tormented by the feeling she is being stalked by an unseen watcher in an adjacent building. She can’t get anyone to believe her, and no matter what she does the feeling still remains. Maika Monroe stars with Karl Glusman, Burn Gorman, Gabriela Butuc, Madalina Anea, and Tudor Petrut. This is SUCH a great trailer, really capturing the vibe and mood of the film better than most trailers ever do. It’s not a trailer that sells you something different, this is exactly the film and it pulls you into the story and her fears. Highly recommend watching this trailer. Take a peek.

Here’s the full-length official trailer (+ poster) for Chloe Okuno’s Watcher, direct from YouTube:
