For the past month I have been taking a break to catch up on life. Between appointments, exams, social events and trying to catch up on the washing I’ve left about the apartment I have been mulling over something a psyche recently mentioned to me.

Watcher (2022) is a fairly unknown new movie, I think, and I recommend it. Simple, well-made, and scary.
