The premise
Among normal humans live the "Others" possessing various supernatural powers. They are divided up into the forces of light and the forces of the dark, who signed a truce several centuries ago to end a devastating battle. Ever since, the forces of light govern the day while the night belongs to their dark opponents. In modern day Moscow the dark Others actually roam the night as vampires while a "Night Watch" of light forces, among them Anton, the movie's protagonist, try to control them and limit their outrage
Horror Vault's take
In the shadows of modern Moscow, a secret war between supernatural factions has been kept in uneasy peace for centuries by a binding truce — the forces of light policing the night, the forces of darkness lurking within it. When ordinary man Anton finds himself pulled into the ranks of the Night Watch, he is forced to confront a world of vampires, witches, and Others hidden beneath the city's surface. This Russian fantasy-horror epic blends Slavic mythology with gritty urban action, creating a uniquely atmospheric vision of good and evil locked in perpetual tension. The fragile balance that holds their world together may not hold for long.
