Indie Horror Flick "Who's Watching" Heads to Major Film Festivals, Showcasing a Chilling Stalker Story

The upcoming indie horror movie "Who's Watching," directed by Tim Kasher, is set to make its mark at two prestigious film festivals this October - Beyond Fest and the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival. Bloody Disgusting has been granted the exclusive reveal of the film's captivating poster art, which sets the stage for a gripping tale of obsession and danger.

Unraveling the Twisted Psyche of a Stalker

A Loner's Descent into Dangerous Obsession

The film's narrative follows Caleb, a loner who spends his time as part of a low-rent heavy metal band. Caleb becomes fixated on a new female co-worker, initially recording her under the guise of making a documentary. However, as his infatuation grows, he resorts to increasingly desperate and dangerous methods to win her over, blurring the lines between reality and his twisted fantasies.The found-footage perspective and a raw, punk-inspired edge lend a unique and experimental approach to the stalker-focused horror storytelling. Director Tim Kasher, a veteran of the indie rock scene as the frontman of the bands Cursive and The Good Life, brings a fresh perspective to the genre, constantly subverting audience expectations.

A Story a Decade in the Making

"Who's Watching" is a project that has been brewing in Kasher's mind since 2010, as he sought to explore the stalker trope from a unique angle. After initially struggling to garner interest in the script, Kasher set it aside, only to revisit it around 2018, realizing that the story he envisioned had yet to be told on the big screen.The journey to bring this film to life has been a bumpy one, with the COVID-19 pandemic adding further challenges. However, the director persevered, and the movie was ultimately shot in the summer of 2023, in and around Kasher's hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.

Crafting a Timeless Visual Identity

The film's poster, designed by Carlos Colón, perfectly encapsulates the director's vision of creating a work that feels "out of time," neither firmly rooted in the present nor the past. The nostalgic yet modern aesthetic of the poster art sets the tone for the cinematic experience, hinting at the delicate balance between the familiar and the unsettling that audiences can expect to encounter.

A Promising Collaboration

"Who's Watching" is produced by Josh Ethier, who has worked alongside Kasher to bring this unique and unsettling story to life. The film's selection for both the Beyond Fest and the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival is a testament to the creative team's dedication and the project's potential to captivate audiences with its fresh take on the stalker narrative.As the anticipation builds for the film's festival premieres, fans of indie horror and psychological thrillers can look forward to a cinematic experience that promises to challenge their perceptions and leave a lasting impression. With its experimental approach and the director's deep personal investment in the material, "Who's Watching" is poised to become a standout entry in the genre.
