4.0 out of 5 stars Whoa, sleeper flick that's better than you'd expect..., July 18 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Deathwatch (DVD)

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.

Trauma (Gotham City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Deathwatch (DVD)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars A film that kind of sticks with you., Jun 30 2004

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Deathwatch (DVD)

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. The next scene is a group of lost Allied soldiers, which I thought died, taking over a haunted german trench. The rest of the film is a psychological horror film where each cast member is killed by another cast member. The scenes in the film are all shot with a very dark, rainy claustophobic look. There is something in the trenches that plays on each soldiers worst fears and ends up making them go mad and kill each other. I believe the Allied soldiers died in the beginning and the rest of the movie is them all living a nightmare in hell. The movie has some pretty good supplemental stuff in the extras section. There is not much gore. There are plenty of frights thrown at you. A very violent death scene with barbwire thrown in for utter chills. I am an avid reader of WW1 and WW2 history and the film truly captures the trench warefare that made WW1 so terribley violent and horrible. I would recommend a rent this instead of dishing out the $20 bucks for a copy. Watch in a dark room with your mate and see and hear all the spooky stuff going on in the film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Harkens Back to Horror TV series "Night Gallery"
"Deathwatch" was a very interesting film that is more on the style of the horror T.V. series "Night Gallery", than a typical gore film. Read more
