The Trailer Park: Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)

This first came to my attention months ago, but recently I saw it run theatrically. It is a horror film from Russia which seems to be getting widely mixed notices from those who have already seen it, but judging solely what I see in the trailer I find very intriguing.

This is the first in what is being billed as an epic horror trilogy. I am not sure of the production schedule for the others, but this looks interesting. The main thrust of the story appears to be an impending unbalancing of the light and dark forces. A treaty was struck a thousand years ago, a treaty which has been guarded by these forses of the Night Watch.

The trailer is mostly eye candy. There is no dialogue given away, and I can only hope that the release is subtitled and not dubbed. Lots of special effects are on display, a hoarde of crows, a flipping truck, amongst others. The trailer looks great, it promises some sort of epic of the night. One can only hope that it can stand up to the promise.
