Article Summary
- Ishana Night Shyamalan hails cast chemistry in The Watchers.
- Directorial debut hints at a thrilling compare to her father's work.
- The Watchers features a balanced ensemble cast, creating alchemy.

In just a few months, we'll be getting the chance to witness the directorial debut of filmmaker Ishana Night Shyamalan (daughter of M. Night Shyamalan) with her upcoming horror movie titled The Watchers. And based on the film's mysteriously promising trailer, we're already intrigued to see how the eerie genre story compares to the genre work we've seen from her established father. Thankfully, according to the rookie director, collaborating with such a balanced cast for her directorial debut made the experience even sweeter.
During The Watchers Q&A at the recent Summer of Shyamalan event (first reported by Screen Rant), Shyamalan discussed the film's all-important cast dynamic, telling attendees, "It was very much me imagining what the four vibes of these people were like and what they would be like together. The continual lesson that I learned during the filmmaking process is that there's just a certain alchemy that happens, and if you're lucky enough to catch it, you do. I felt that way with this cast that all the movements and stuff just led to this group being together." She then elaborated, "They have such an electric energy when they're all together. It's really, really cool. It was so fun. It felt like theater to do it."
