A university campus, a mysterious death and an old ghost story collide in 'WATCHFUL EYES', an award-winning supernatural horror directed by Gianluca Lasaracina and distributed worldwide by Buffalo 8.
Sebastian is a man struggling to rebuild his life after the loss of his daughter and his job. He accepts a temporary position as a janitor on a university campus, expecting a quiet week of work.
Instead, he is tasked with keeping watch over five students — Oliver, Jayden, Rebecca, Emma and Sofia — who may all have some connection to the mysterious death of Professor Vicario just days earlier.
As Sebastian tries to uncover what happened, the investigation leads him towards an old ghost story that has haunted the campus for years. What initially sounds like a legend may be far more real — and dangerous — than anyone believed.
'WATCHFUL EYES' has picked up multiple festival honours, including Best Horror Film wins at the Beyond Border International Film Festival and Stockholm City Film Festival, alongside recognition at the Rome Prisma Independent Film Awards.
