The Watcher in the Woods

The Watcher in the Woods is a fantasy-horror film about an American family who moves into a rural English manor house, where they experience strange supernatural occurrences. The teenage daughter, Jan, is particularly affected, seeing visions of a blindfolded girl and glowing objects in the woods. As she delves deeper into the mystery, she discovers that the manor's owner, Mrs. Aylwood, has a dark secret: her daughter Karen disappeared mysteriously 30 years ago during a solar eclipse. Jan's investigations lead her to recreate the ceremony that took place on the night of Karen's disappearance, hoping to bring her back. However, things take a surprising turn when Ellie, Jan's younger sister, becomes possessed by an alien presence, revealing that Karen was accidentally switched with a being from an alternate dimension. The family and their friends must confront the Watcher in the Woods, a powerful and mysterious entity that has been haunting the woods for 30 years.
