Has anyone else heard of this? I just found out about this movie the other day. It is based on a graphic novel by the same name. The story has been described as being what you might have “if Batman were written by H. P. Lovecraft.” Lovecraft – an author of weird fantasy, science fiction, and horror during the 1920s and 1930s – is most famous for his Cthulhu mythos.
The Watcher presents a world much like our own, but with a dark secret – alien beings from another realm have secretly been invading Earth for thousands of years. They’ve been lurking in the darkest shadows and the depths of the ocean, subtly corrupting and influencing mankind for generations.
As a young boy, Jude Matthews found his parents brutally murdered on their New England estate. The culprit was never identified. In his search for answers, Jude gradually came to the realization that his parents were servants of these alien beings and that they were disposed of when their usefulness expired. This revelation fractured his sanity and placed him on a path that would eventually lead him to become the Watcher – the sole defender of mankind against a threat most people are too afraid to acknowledge.
So, it sounds rather dark, but kind of cool. I’ll be interested to see what sort of reviews the movie gets when it is released in November, and I may try to find the graphic novel in the mean time.
