The official premise reads:

'28-year-old artist Mina gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland. Upon finding shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night.'

The Watchers is based on the novel of the same name by A. M. Shine.

It stars  Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere.

Ishana Night Shyamalan is best known for her work on the critically acclaimed television series The Servant in which she partly wrote and directed. It tells the story of a family in Philadelphia who hire a live-in nanny to take care of their son, who has in fact been replaced by a reborn doll. The mother still believes her son to be alive.

Shyamalan also worked as a second unit director for her father's last two projects, Knock at the Cabin and Old, so she definitely has the trust of M. Night.

It will be interesting to see how her first solo project materialises, but the first trailer is excellent and gives just the right amount of information away.
