Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disapointed.
Review: I first watched the original when it got out 5 or so years ago. And I though it more than excellent. Truly creepy, spooky and intriguing. So I obviously had high expectations for the big budget remake even though being a little skeptic. My skepticism was justified. Besides from being highly tuned down in all regards, they had also complete lost the essence of evil which is what made it so spooky in the first place. The acting wasn't all bad(Thus two stars instead of 1) but not spectacular either.

Really, they should never have made this. And I don't see how it could have gone this wrong....

If however, the unlikely happen, and you like this movie, you really ought to see the original(dubbed/subbed/whatever) version.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Truly Terrifying Thriller
Review: I have become so tired of horror movies that give me so much gore and no substance. I'm tired of movies that show me such grand special effects that I forget to be scared. Nightwatch is the exact opposite.....what a scary movie...through the simple use of light, shadow, not to mention that WIND! It was creepy all the way through to the end. A must see for anyone who enjoys a good old fashioned scare.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great movie
Review: i loved this one, Josh Brolin is absolutely brillant, and the story's strong. Gary Busey would have been great in Nolte's part as well. This is a must see and a must keep as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVED IT!!!
Review: i read a bad review about this movie before i watched it and i was all set for it to be a boring movie with bad acting which would be close to impossible with the actors that are in it. but when i finally watched it realized how good it was!! my eyes were glued to the TV screen the whole time and i really wanted to know who the killer was and when you find out i think its the perfect place. it kept my attention and im buying it as soon as possible!!! if you like Thrillers you should denifitly watch this movie!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favorites
Review: I really enjoy dark monies such as Seven, Resurrection, and Manhunter just to name a few. Those who enjoy a macabre story as those mentioned should enjoy this movie. The story line follows a serial killer who gets very close to an unknowing college student who works in morgue...at night. Get it? The movie takes full advavntage of all the terrors one could imaginge while working all alone in such a place. Hope you enjoy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not very good. Disappointing
Review: I saw a commercial for this on the video for Scream and after seeing all the Children of the Corns (One through five), I rented this. It was REALLY bad. The opening murder was cool and I thought I was going to see a GREAT movie, but I was horribly wrong. The main character tries to act American but his accent keeps breaking, the killer was bad, and all the entertainment value went down the drain. If you rent this for the sake of Patricia Arquette, rent Lost Highway instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Keeps you guessing!
Review: I seen it a while ago and decided to finally write a review. The part about 'who did it' has a great twist to it! If you haven't seen this movie before and you love guessing who the killer is, this is definitely the type of movie for you! I'm not into suspense so that's why I gave it just a 4, but you if like these types of movies, you'll probably wanna give it a 5.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It's too bad that the the 1/2 star rating isn't available!
Review: I'm generally easy to please in the motion picture department. I'm as happy in a cheesy action film as I am in an artistic film. The reason being is that I am capable of suspending disbelief and turning off my brain or vice versa depending on the situation. But I just couldn't do it with this one! It was too farfetched, dull, and dwelled more on cheap psychological tactics rather then good film making. If you are in the market for a good scare, I'd suggest Jacobs Ladder or The Exorcist, which are both frightening films. And in the suspense department, I'd recommend The Usual Suspects. I would not recommend this clunker.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST HORROR IVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!
Review: If you are into edge-of-your-seat thrillers...this is the movie for you....its so frightening and scary it kept me guessing through the whole thing....im a big horror movie buff and this is definitely on my top 5 list!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you like suspense, not gore...
Review: If you like movies that give you the creeps (like I do) this movie is for you! Very rarely do you really see anything "scary", but the camera angles, music, lighting, etc. are incredibly effective! You really get scared, for absolutely no reason! As I am sure anyone would working in a morgue at night. :-) And it doesn't hurt a bit that Ewan McGregor is a great actor, and not bad to look at!

Very suspenseful and great twists. I saw this movie on a whim, while on a Ewan McGregor kick, and fell in love with it. I can't believe it wasn't very successful - it thought it was very well done. It will really creep you out!
