Nightwatch

Actually this movie is an old one from 1994, but there is also a new version from 1995 with Even McGregor. I liked the old one better. When I watched it the first time I had to switch channels in between because I could´t stand the tension. Maybe this movie is boring for the fans of the horror genre, but I love how it starts very slowly, takes time for the main characters. And then somehow one thing after the other is happenig. The story is quite simple. It´s about the student Martin who starts to work as a nightwatcher in a mortuary. First he is scared of all the corps lying in this building but he is getting used to it. And the strange things start to happen. As the one watching the movie you know already that something is wrong in this uncomfortable and cold mortuary. Has it something to do with this strange bet with his friend, to go to the limit, he was ok with? What about the murderer going around in the media, who takes the skill of his female victims? I couldn´t remember the full movie, so only in the end it gets clear who the guilty guy is. I won´t tell, just in case you will watch it.
