International
critics have hailed "unrivaled Russian blockbuster" and "groundbreaking
special effects achievement of the decade." The story deals with
a ancient treaty made during a brutal war between the armies of Good and
Evil. After an exceptionally bloody conflict (arguably the best scenes
of the movie), an agreement is drawn to establish a balance on Earth...
specifically the Evil race establishes a "Day Watch" to keep
tabs on the Good beings. And, in turn, the "Night Watch" keep
the Dark creatures in check. This tenuous agreement explodes in the 21st
century when the dark forces decide to take control.
