The Watchers, a film about a young woman stuck in a monster-filled forest, will stream on Max.
The film was produced by M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense) and adapted from the A.M. Shine novel by his daughter, Ishana Night Shyamalan, who also directs. Advertisement
Dakota Fanning stars as Mina — a 28-year-old woman who loses cell phone service and becomes lost while driving through a dark forest in western Ireland with her pet bird.
Her car disappears and she encounters three other people who are trapped and watched by unseen beasts on a nightly basis.
“You can’t see them but they see everything,” an official synopsis reads.

The trailer shows Mina declaring that she refuses to stay in the hideout.
“They allow us to live because we follow their rules,” says Madeline, played by Olwen Fouere. “You have broken too many.”
