Critics Review
So good that the film feels like a trailer for it
Praise for The Night Watch:
This modern day mythical fantasy is Anne Rice on an epic scale, a hugely imagined world. A chiller thriller from cold of Russia, this one’s been selling like hot cakes around the world.
So good that the film feels like a trailer for it * Time Out *
JK Rowling, Russian style… Arguably Russia’s richest and most famous literary talent of the moment. [a] cracking read, owing more to Rowling or Philip Pullman than it does to the horror genre… Surprisingly readable and addictive… It relies on suspense and psychological drama and a good dose of humour - rather than blood and guts. * Daily Telegraph *
When a particular kind of story, heavily based in one culture, gets transferred into a culture distinctly different, something magical happens. Something modern, new and distinctly creepy… The magic is rooted in the realities of modern Russia. Inventive, sardonic, and imbued with a surprising the sense that, for this author and his audience, much of this stuff is new-minted. * Independent *
