Nightwatch and Daywatch


I like dark movies with underlying themes of fight between good and evil cos maybe they reflect the daily shit we go through trying to control the internal conflicts we have.

Nightwatch , daywatch and something to come are a triology of movies based on a russian fairytale theme about the fight between good and evil. Here light and dark have been brought to an agreement for centuries and delicate balance exists between each with both sides careful enough not to break the agreement.

Set in mordern moscow, it is a welcome relief from dark american movies set in new york or something and the actors are a refreshing change and also the way the movie is shot. Nightwatch mainly tells us about the protagonist Anton, who got involved in the light/dark shit when he tried using a witch to kill his unborn child. Movie has shape transformers, vampires, dark light dimensions, trucks on nitro and some really really beautiful women. Nightwatch is about them trying to stop a vortex over modern moscow and anton discovering that is son is still alive and who will later be the great one and make the dark stronger.

Daywatch shows how his son is becoming stronger and stronger till he releases destruction over entire moscow and about the chalk of destiny to reverse time.

Most of the movie is shot in a cross processed greenish hue which is my favorite, the visual effects are great and the constant heavy metal background music makes the two movies really heart pumpinly good.
