| Synopsis:
Set in contemporary Moscow, NIGHT WATCH uncovers the other-world battle that upholds a 1000-year-old truce between the forces of Light and the forces of Darkness. For centuries, the undercover members of the Night Watch have policed the world's Dark Ones - the vampires, witches, shape-shifters and sorcerers that wage treachery in the night -- while the Dark Ones have a Day Watch that in turn polices the forces of Light. The fate of humanity rests in this delicate balance between good and evil but that fate is in jeopardy. |

I am a big horror movie fan.Over half of my collection is horror.I love top notch,big budget horror.I love B rate horror.Heck,I love some horror that wishes it were B rated horror.That said,I just do not understand how this movie gets such high praise.
The basic premise of the movie,with the powers of light and dark and those whose job is to keep the balance between the two(anyway I think that is the basic story)is pretty good.The first five minutes or so explaining the history of the war between good and evil really had my interest.Then the rest of the movie happened.To me it is just a jumbled mess(with russian sub-titles).The over-all look and feel of the movie is very cool.I liked the main character and the actor that played him.If it had a different director and/or editor,it would have been better to me.
But look at the ratings,alot of people liked it.It just wasnt my cup of tea.

The first time I watched this movie my jaw hit the floor about ten minutes in to it, and it didn't return to my mouth until the credits had finished. I mean, I really couldn't believe my eyes. A smart, funny, well acted, brilliant even, horror movie from Russia (in all honesty, how often does one see such a thing coming out of this country). Not only that, I didn't have anything to really compare it to, it's that original. It reminded me of the first time I saw The Evil Dead, it was that same kind of "you've got to be kidding me" kind of moment. Even my partner was floored and she doesn't even like horror movies. So if you're interested in an original, funny, unique, and complex movie, one that will change the way you think about horror movies and one that set Russian box office records, this is the ticket.
this thing is a bloody mess July 27, 2008

i don't think the reviews here give an accurate impression of what this movie is like. they keep mentioning "the matrix" & you think you are going to see a cool virtual reality sci fi film with heady philosophical points to make, but really it's more like an utterly depraved slasher/occult horror film. my mind wasn't stimulated because my stomach was too busy being turned. if you like watching people chug fresh warm pig blood & stab each other in the face this may be for you, but i was just disgusted.
