Daywatch is a Russian fantasy thriller with a refreshing storyline. Set in a modern day context with a loose concept of feuding individuals, a bunch of (vampiric? Ancient?) creatures are divided into two factions, Daywatchers and Nightwatchers.
Basically the two factions are always at each other's throats - but even more so now that a legendary Chalk of Life has appeared - that could materialise any wish.
What I liked -
Foreign Language - very refreshing to hear - a learning point about Russian culture as well.
Impressive acting - characters were very impressionable. Actors did a great job especially in the gender exchange scenes.
Great CGI and concept of fantasy - fantasy that's not overboard and very cool! you have to see it to believe it, trust me, my words are not enough!
Refreshing shooting style - It is a very unorthodox filming style - abrupt scene changes might confuse many (me included) but I thought it was refreshing!
What I didn't like -
