Night Watch

One of the most striking aspects of the film was the used of blood. Thus far, we have not seen a movie that shows that much gruesome violence. The part that stands out in my mind is when the main character is stabbed through the hand with a scissors. I enjoy it when films do not shy away from what really happens. The recovery of his wounds was a little quicker than I would have thought though.
I was slightly confused on what a "Other" is. I may be alone here, but the movie was like the Russian equivalent of Blade. There were clear lines in the sand. The bad people were vampires and the good people were part vampires. It was not clear what really affected killed either side. Light clearly affected the dark Others but the light Others could take a beating.
The storyline that followed the "cursed" woman was hard to follow. I wasn't aware that you could curse yourself. Also, the computer program they were using to find the person who cursed her? That didn't fit with the story. This battle was supposed to date back to antiquity and all of a sudden there is a computer program that logs everyones relationships with each other?
Obviously there are going to be more questions in this film due to the fact that it's a trilogy. It was apparent that this was a larger budget film and it was nice to see a recent Russian film. The movie sets itself up well for future movies.
