eye WEEKLY (Malene Arpe)
That the film is as raw and exceptional as it is should come as a surprise for anyone who has seen Hollywood remakes of good European films (George Sluizer's limp redo of his own The Vanishing, for example). But Bornedal has managed to improve Nightwatch...read the complete Nightwatch (1997) review at eye WEEKLY (Malene Arpe)

Salon.com (Charles Taylor)
NEARING 70, Rip Torn has taken on the haggard complacency of the demoralized senator from Texas, guilty of being sexual where he once was unself-consciously perceptive and predatory. Every groan of Artie, Torn's "Larry Sanders" alter ego, was riven by...read the complete Nightwatch (1997) review at Salon.com (Charles Taylor)

Reason Three, then, should be "Nightwatch." Also a Danish film, "Nightwatch" has been recrafted by its director, Ole Bordenal, so that it could be the most recent in the long line of Teen Horror Movies, albeit a Teen Horror Movie starring young adults...read the complete Nightwatch (1997) review at IMDB.com

Deep Focus (Bryant Frazer)
With the U.S. release of Nightwatch, Deep Focus comes full circle.

My boyfriend works at a mall as a security guard at night all by himself. The manniquins scare him enough as it is. And the hallways echo strange and eerie noises. He prays that none will come to life. ...

I really enjoy dark monies such as Seven, Resurrection, and Manhunter just to name a few. Those who enjoy a macabre story as those mentioned should enjoy this movie. The story line follows a serial killer who gets very close to an unknowing college ...

I have become so tired of horror movies that give me so much gore and no substance. I'm tired of movies that show me such grand special effects that I forget to be scared. Nightwatch is the exact opposite.....what a scary movie...through the simple use ...

Basically, ever since Episode 1 came out - I've become obsessed with watching anything with Ewan in it. Nightwatch was the first movie I had seen with this glorious man in it. ...
