DEAR PEOPLE STOP REFERRING TO THE RUSSIAN MOVIE! THIS IS THE RUSSIAN MOVIE, SO REWRITE YOUR STUFF!
THIS MOVIE IS A REMAKE OF THE ORIGINAL DANISH MOVIE (THAT'S RIGHT... DENMARK!) WITH THE TITLE NATTEVAGTEN.
THIS DANISH MOVIE WAS DIRECTED BY DANISH DIRECTOR OLE BORNEDAL AND RELEASED IN 1994. I WROTE FLIXSTER A REQUEST TO ADD IT TO THEIR DATABASE.
HERE IS THE IMDB LINK.
THIS MOVIE CALLED NIGHTWATCH IS A REMAKE, AND IS ALSO DIRECTED BY OLA BORNEDAL AND WAS RELEASED IN THE USA AND EUROPE IN 1997.
THIS IS THE IMDB LINK OF THE AMERICAN REMAKE .
BUT THE CAST IS AMERICAN AND THUS DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL CAST WHICH CONSISTS OF ALL DANISH ACTORS.
IT HAS NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH RUSSIA OR THE RUSSIAN MOVIE WORLD. THAT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MOVIE YOU'RE ALL CONFUSING IT WITH!
