The Watcher Self
2016, 95 minutes
An unsettling psychosexual chiller written and directed by Matt Cruse about one woman's descent into hell.
Cora (Karen French) struggles to maintain a normal routine after the appalling consequences of a domestic atrocity. Engaging in a series of emotionally detached encounters, she experiences a confusing psychological connection with the strange and elusive Van (Julian Shaw). Then echoes from the past threaten to derail her tenuous state of mind, and Cora becomes increasingly dislocated from her surroundings. Is she going insane, or is it something else? The Watcher Self is about what remains when the layers of sanity are gradually stripped away... and what may or may not be real.
