Writer-director Ishana Night Shyamalan makes her feature debut with The Watchers, based on the novel by A.M. Shine. Starring Dakota Fanning , the film follows a young artist who becomes lost in the woods and encounters three strangers trapped in the wilderness by a mysterious force.

What about her interests you?’ So I think he was kind of subliminally, just by way of sort of sharing in his experience, teaching me from a young age.
