One of the few times I seriously disagree with the overwhelming high scores on criticker. Maybe this film was effective in 1994 but today it is not. It sucks!

Judge Holden | 4 52% |
Squanders an excellent, creepy setup by resorting to cliched horror tropes, including old classics such as "the body was there a moment ago, sir" and "the movie is nearing its conclusion, better put the protagonist's girlfriend in danger". The twist is predictable and the denouement is just bizarre but in the bad, disjointed sense. I also hated the characters, especially Jens, who was just insufferable. And I really did not need to see that one guy's hairy dick, but thanks anyway.

I feel the same way about this movie as I do about ninety percent of the movies I see. There are some cool moments and details, and some of the visuals are nice to look at, but it doesn't add up to an emotionally satisfying or coherent thing.

Picked this up after hearing that it was one of the best foreign thrillers of the 90s, which is...wrong. "Nightwatch" is pretty engaging up until the first half, at which point nothing has happened. When the twist finally came around, I was long past caring. The actors all do a good job and are entertaining for the most part. Worth a watch, just don't expect to be enthralled.

Great Danish chiller. A bit heavy handed in places, but more or less responsible for the "renaissance" in modern danish cinema so it get props for that.
