00:03 Ancient, godlike, terrifying.

00:14 There are these creatures that no one has seen,
00:18 and they don't really even know what they look like
00:20 or what they're capable of.
00:21 And there's sort of a lot of unanswered questions,
00:23 but there's a fear and a danger that's palpable.
00:26 I really wanted to play with fantasy and horror.
00:29 This kind of idea of figuring out what these creatures are.
00:33 Try not to die.
00:34 And then there's the thriller part of it,
00:36 which is a ticking clock, and you can't leave.
00:38 You're trapped forever in this place,
00:40 and you'll be risking your life to escape.
00:43 If you step over this line, there's no turning back.
00:46 The coup's purpose is to keep these four characters
00:49 safe from the Watchers.
00:52 There's a big window that at night turns into a mirror,
00:55 so Nina, Madeline, Kira, and Daniel can't see out.
00:58 But whatever's out in the forest can see in.
01:00 Everything in there has a sense of this,
01:03 like, supernatural magnetism and also repulsion.
01:08 And the coup is very much the epitome of that, where you have
01:11 to be in there to survive.
01:13 And also, it's the space that you want to leave most.
01:16 The characters don't know what the Watchers are
01:19 and what they want and what they're capable of.
01:22 They were once something to behold and be in awe of.
01:26 But now they're absolutely frightening.
01:29 What do they do?
01:30 They try to get in.
01:32 What an amazing experience to be able to come sit in a theater
01:36 and hear things and feel things.
01:37 The scenes were built to be seen in theaters.
01:40 Don't you want to know what they are?
01:42 No!
01:43 No!
