A dazzling mix of state of the art visual effects, amazing action sequences, and nail biting horror, when Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) was released in its native Russia in July 2004, it became an instant smash hit, breaking all film gross records in post Soviet history. The films centre on the modern day conflict between the Light and Dark forces of Others supernatural humans and monsters (including vampires, witches, shape shifters and sorcerers) who live among us. A thousand years ago the two sides called a truce to their fierce battles; the agreement entailed that the Dark Others would police the day and the Light Others would police the night. In Day Watch each side has gained a powerful Great Other; Anton Gorodetsky's son, Yegor, has joined the ranks of the Dark Others, while Anton's love, Svetlana, is the hope of the Light. Not only is Anton caught between them, but he's also accused of murder and on the run. Only the ancient Chalk of Fate can save the day but it was lost hundreds of years ago Genre: Horror Rated a 7 out of 10 by Bloody Disgusting.com - the horror film experts!
