The Best Stalker Film Of The 2020s Is Now On Netflix

By

Watcher, starring Maika Monroe, is now on Netflix. It also streams on Hulu. It’s one of the best new-ish stalker films out there.

If you’re ready to feel a growing sense of tension for an hour and a half, Watcher (2022) has just arrived on Netflix, and it’s the psychological thriller you need to stream this February/March. This beautifully suspenseful film masterfully explores stalking, isolation, voyeurism and the consequences of being dismissed by those closest to you.

Watcher stands out as an exceptional stalker thriller thanks to Maika Monroe’s quietly powerful performance, director Chloe Okuno’s masterful tension-building, and its fresh take on the “unbelieved woman” trope. The film doesn’t rely on twists or tricks – instead, it creates Hitchcockian suspense through a layered exploration of voyeurism, the psychological toll of isolation, and the frustration of having your fears dismissed by those who should support you.

Watch Watcher on Netflix or Hulu.
