This is an interesting spooky little horror set in World War One. A group of soldiers end up in a deserted German trench and soon find themselves in a worse nightmare than they were before.

Given that this is a virtually unknown film, I believe it was released in 2002, this is a good watch. Excellent sets and backdrops filmed on location in Prague really portrayed the misery of trench warfare during WWI. Add a creepy twist and the product is this very decent psychological thriller that delivers a wholloping, yet subtle at the same time, visual trip and ending. If you're looking for an easy to understand plot or lots of mindless action, look elsewhere. If you're in the mood for something that makes you think, just a little, and don't mind being spooked a bit, "Deathwatch" is for you. Hats off to the team that put this original ride together, well done and recommended.

Ok first of all I get why there is no push for this movie.
The subject matter here hits way too close to home in every aspect past present and future.
Y-Company is disbanded into enemy territory with no idea where they are that is untill they find a german trench filled with dead bodies and a handfull of surviors.
What transpires for the next 96 minutes is so riveting and daring that one cant help but sit in awe of this little know nothing direct to vid shelf stuffer.
Yes it is a horror movie but not with the archtypical ghouls and goblins and ghosts that usually occupy most films in this genre no this is the kind of horror that goes straight for your head and succeeds.
Dont expect big surprises here just PLEASE PLEASE try and read between the lines because this movie has a very important message about humanity and what we have done with ourselves and to ourselves over time.
Deathwatch is nasty and clever and deserves liberal minded discussion.

A film that kind of sticks with you.
After viewing this movie I thought and thought about what it all meant. Durring the beginning there is a scene of a very horrifying battle that leaves much of both sides dead. Read more

With all the crapola trying to pass itself off as horror these days, Deathwatch was an attempt to make an honest to God horror film. Read more
