Nightwatch (Nochnoy Dozor)

Nightwatch is an interesting fantasy horror film from Russia. Based in a world of myth and legend this visually impressive tale feels fresh and unique. The film opens with a quick potted history of the battle between good and evil, we learn that the 'Others' have been living amongst us and these supernatural beings divide into dark and light categories. This is a very different film from the usual cinema fare and worth seeing because of that. The epic style is achieved at the cost of some substance but there is enough to feast the eyes on here to make up for the lack of clarity and its best to just sit back and let it engulf you.
