The Watcher in the Woods (2017)



Made for Lifetime, airing  October 21st in the US.
Filmed entirely in Wales.
The story: Mr. and Mrs. Carstairs have taken their two daughters, 16-year-old Jan and younger Ellie to spend the summer in Wales.
Jan is everything but thrilled about it but clearly has to make the best of things, being 16 and all.
The family finds a big old house to rent and when they go to see it are unwelcomely welcomed by its owner, Mrs. Alywood.
Jan is a very curious girl, asking a lot of questions.
While asking Mrs. Alywood questions, the lady gets a feeling about Jan.
When Jan meets neighbor Mark she starts learning about the history of the house she is living in and Mrs. Alywood.
Apparently, she had a daughter Jan's age that one day just vanished.
As the story goes, she was taken by "the watcher in the woods", who - no one has seen and where no one goes.
This makes Jan even more curious as she has been hearing voices from the woods and seeing visions of a young girl in her bedroom mirror.
