31 Horror Movies You Must Watch This October 2022

13. Watcher

Another low-key horror that's been quietly building quite the reputation for itself, Chloe Okuno's Watcher is a terrifically atmospheric horror-thriller in which a young American woman (Maika Monroe) moves to Bucharest with her husband and comes to believe that she's being stalked by a man (Burn Gorman) who may or may not be a serial killer.

Okuno's film so perfectly nails the anxiety of being in an unfamiliar land where you don't know the language, only enhancing protagonist Julia's fear that she could be next on a potential killer's hit list.

Genre vet Maika Monroe is unsurprisingly excellent as our embattled lead, while Burn Gorman is effortlessly creepy in the maybe-antagonist role.

Watcher is out now.
