Voyeurism is one of the most visceral kinds of horror, as it usually involves some element of home invasion.
In Nathan Sellers’ short The Watcher, we have an intimate view of a young woman who appears trapped in her own solitude.
We are narrated by what feels like a preacher for a higher power, as she goes about her daily tasks, which turn out to be less than regular.
The Watcher has the vibe of a modern gothic ghost story, as she listens to the preachings and songs of prayer before going deeper into the darkness.
This is a short that is slickly shot and designed to unnerve the viewer.
The Watcher screens as part of the Soho Horror Film Festival 2023.
