Loved it!

Warning: Spoilers
Danielle is the last member (Sandrine Morin) of The Children of Enoch and awaits the resurrection of her recently departed sisters and their leader Father Enoch on the next day, the day that she believes that he will bring forth the Day of Judgment in his divinely resurrected body.

Directed by Nathan Sellers, this has a gorgeous look and a really ominous tone. According to the film's Indiegogo, it was shot in 36 hours in Bakersfield, VT and was made by a skilled skeleton crew of six artists. The tone of Enoch's voice (Rohit Dave) as he commands Danielle is so unsettling and this film sticks with you down to the last gorgeous post-credits shot. What a beautiful work of art.

Eerie and intriguing from the first frame

From the very first frame to the last, The Watcher unfolds on a rounded TV screen reminiscent of the Television sets from the past 'setting' the tone to what we're about to see: a slow eerie psychological chiller draped in muted colors that masterfully draws you into the main character's psyche as she performs her last rites. It's a powerful story that not only questions religious devotion but also what's real and what's not. With barely any words other than the disturbingly calm almost friendly overhead voice - sort of a wizard-of-oz entity - one cannot help but be disturbingly captivated. Beautifully and meticulously shot, written and directed by Nathan Sellers (who also produced the fitting atmospheric music) The Watcher is an exquisite film that leaves you guessing long after the last frame.
