“The Observers”, a psychological thriller starring Dakota Fanning, is among the most watched on Netflix

The production “The Observers”, an adaptation of the book by AM Shine, became one of the most watched films on Netflix in recent days and rekindled interest in this psychological thriller that hit theaters in 2024. Directed by Ishana Shyamalan, the film marked the filmmaker’s debut in feature films and drew attention for its unsettling atmosphere and the care taken with the dark setting.

The plot follows Mina, played by Dakota Fanning. The character, a 28-year-old artist, finds herself completely disoriented after entering a vast forest in the west of Ireland. What starts as a simple detour turns into a spiral of fear when she finds an isolated shelter, where three strangers already live under strict and frightening rules. The group, forced to take cover as night falls, is observed by creatures that are never seen, but whose presence dominates every silence and directly interferes with the characters’ psychology.

Before arriving on streaming, “The Observers” had a moderate performance at the international box office, driven mainly by the name of Shyamalan (daughter of filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, who signs the production) and the interest generated around the casting of Dakota Fanning in the main role. In addition to her, the cast includes Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan and Olwen Fouéré, who help build the constant feeling of paranoia and tension inside the shelter, where nothing is really safe.
