Night Watch/Day Watch (DVD)

Night watch, first of the trilogy. I didn't realise that it was in Russian with English subtitles which was a bit of putting, you found yourself missing scenes when reading the script .The special fx were good though ,i would say the film was easier to understand since i read the book first. A dark film and easy confusing. Day watch is alot better, spoken in English. But you do need to see the Night watch first to understand the characters as it continues with some main plots. well worth seeing.

best russian movies since battleship potiemkin,and the best action/vampire movie i've seen for a long time a real breathe of fresh air compared to amerian action movies

a bloody russian fairy tale sums it up well

depends more on excellent acting and imagination than special effects but simple effects are used really well

As with all subtitled films i am cautious at first. But these films did impress me! An ecellent plot and a different view on a popular genre. Blood, Guts, action, effects. They have the lot. What else do you need!

I was really excited to watch these films due to the reviews that both had recieved by various magazines. Both films start strongly before getting lost within their own hype and story line. The acting and special effects are very poor and any excitement is instantly lost in scences streched to their limit. I can now see why the film studio refused to green light a trilogy of films. I recommend anyone to stay away from these films and instead read the books.

The fact that it was in Russian and the white sub-titles on light backgrounds made it hard to follow what was being said detracted from the enjoyment of the films action was fast paced if quirky at times but as I brought the set a while after release made it worth having

A great film to out of russia
if you like horror special effects this film is for you,
i give this 8/10

this is an amazing piece of russian cinema,visual stunning with a great plot and imagery. classic horror/vampire slashers have been sucked dry! this is so much deeper, and will keep you glued to your seat. it is subtitled which puts some people off but its still on you can watch with mates just for the amazing effects. deff one to watch as it challenges most cra that comes out of englandand america.

Stick fairly true to books, and not to hard to follow even with subtitles. Night watch has a better plot than day watch which tends to drag a bit but day watch has better special effects. But all round a good box set.

i purchased the dvds because i have been after them since they were released and the price was alot cheaper than in the shop
