The version I saw in high school had the coolest subtitles. Like.. when the vampire called the kid in the pool, blood came from his nose and clouded into words. When the Witch screamed, the subtitles exploded. It was so awesome.

The Nightwatch series had the most unique take on the supernatural. A kind of synchronistic progression only an Other can see or interact with while the mundane can only see an Other behaving oddly. The way Zabalon manipulates the future via gaming on a console or the Nightwatch operates under the guise of the electric company. I got a sense of realism in the unreal.

I love just how they happen to be driving as the lord of darkness is just casually crossing the road probably just going to the shops. Like its the most everyday kind of thing in the world

I absolutely *LOVE* Night Watch. and definitely want a review of Day Watch. Thank you Cogan!

I read the entire World of Watches series in college, the Andrew Bromfield English translation. Audible has a damn good audiobook series of it, too. It was and still is one of my favourite fantasy series. Thanks for the video, Cogan! It brought lots of good memories. :)

I actually had to buy these dvds years ago off of some strange site because I absolutely love these movies! I recommend them to everyone but they can never find it! Thank you for covering and I would love a vid on the second one

Sad to hear this is no longer available on streaming, that's how I saw both films originally. Very interesting movies!

I’ve had these on dvd for ages! Don’t even remember how I heard about them but I fell in love with how rich and full of depth they are. Great vid! Glad to see it get some love!

Saw both of these in a local independent theater here in the U.S. when they were each first released internationally. The way they incorporated the English subtitles as visual effects into the movie was brilliantly done. I bought the physical media release as soon as they were available. Such a great addition to my foreign film collection and I love introducing new people to them.

How's the old saying goes: «Жил был на свете Антон Городецкий. Бросила жена - он запил неподетски...»

Hello, I am from Russia) It's so good to know that someone on the other side of the world saw this movie and liked it😊 Thank you for talking about Night Watch and Day Watch on your channel❤❤❤

By the way, since you've watched an International Version of the movie I just want to mention that there is a cut character, who is only in Russian Version - sucub Ignat. He was ordered to seduce Svetlana to stop the Funnel.

Yeah, baby! Let's go! *THE NIGHT WATCH AT LAST* Спасибо, Коган

Definitely do the second part. I had never heard of this series but now I'm fascinated by it. So thanks

The truck that they drive in is a "МЧС" It's basically emergency service in Russia At least they had this kinda trucks, back in a day Also, it's actually "twilight" and "the gloom" The thing is, in the movie and the book, used word "сумрак", which translates as "dusk" and basically contains words "сумерки" - "twightlight" and "мрак" - "the gloom"

These two films are great, been waiting for someone to break this film down

Definitely want a Day Watch video. 👍

One interesing concept in the Night Watch novels is that both Light and Dark Others are morally grey. Some light others are corrupt cops and some dark others are just tragic victims.

Nightwatch and Daywatch are two of the best movies ever made in my opinion. To bad Duskwatch was canceled.

15:33 The truck colors is just standart issue "Emergency gas service"

This franchise is actually a personal favourite, having played the video game, read the books, and seen the movies. It does bring some interesting new concepts to the fantasy table.

I'm so glad I took a chance with this movie. It was decades ago. It's awesome. Even the credits are cool.

I saw this about 15-20 years ago when I was at University, its brilliant

The watch series is still amazing, given how deep the lore becomes the books and movies really come out better than most even today.

When released those movies were kinda cult hits in Brasil. The second one had a status os urban legend for a time, until it get dvd in movie stores for rent. Thanks for the memories

I love your channel. Please cover, An American werewolf in Paris and The Howling. They are such awesome movies.

I remember buying this movie on DVD at Walmart in 2005 or so. Bought all the books to read in the years after that.

Hell ya!! Love when you cover stuff I haven’t heard of. Thanks Cogan 👍🏼🙏🏼❤️

Would LOVE to see you cover Daywatch!!!

This whole series was pretty entertaining.

I saw both of them on Prime I believe it was. That's how I discovered these movies. And one was dubbed in English the other one was subtitles. Absolutely loved these movies and I'm surely shocked that none of my friends had ever heard of them

I've heard of this movie before by someone and completely forgot about it until your video ! Would love another video diving into the sequel !

I heard about the film in 2004 but only saw it once; it was on DVD with an English-dubbed version. I also saw Day Watch in the cinema when it came out. They're great stories.

Have both on DVD. Love these films

This definitely brought back memories of watching this movie. I wish i could find my DVD. 😢

I remember watching this on TV by chance about 10 years ago or so. Now, by chance, it just so happens to show up on my KZfaq recommended and I can finally remember the name of it! Lol apparently this movie is so rare that even when I described scenes in grave detail, no one I talked to could figure out what movie I was talking about.

I am always legitimately happy when you drop a video. You do amazing work my friend!

That was so fun! Please cover the sequel

Been a fan of this book series since the early 00's and love the movies just as much! - I cannot thank you enough for covering this!

i so hope the english subbed version you found used the DVD subtitles. They fully made use of the subtitle track being a video overlay, and make use of video effects to make some words disolve or stylized lettering to draw attention to certain things. Truly, the DVD subbed version I watched years ago set a standard for subtitling that has never been matched. Possibly due to changes in subtitle encoding on optical media, or because it takes so much extra effort to do something extra for subtitling that foreign audiences will apppreciate.

Wow I almost forgot about this movie I've seen both part 1 and part 2 and I love this movie Just for its unique take on the supernatural not the average way most creatures become anything so thank you very much for bringing this back

I remember watching it back in the day. Thx for reminding me friendo.

Greetings! I am glad that the author liked the movie from my childhood.

Cogan Lollins, you sir earned my subscription long ago; Just today I decided to subscribe and click this video just to let you know.

i have both dvd's and all three books i remember being stoked to see the daywatch at the cinema when it came out.

I loved that movie and the sequel. I just cat find it anymore. Good choice to talk about. 👍

I got a copy of both of the films on DVD years ago... They had weird, psuedo-holographic-looking covers. Great stuff, dude!

Good God! Thank you so much. When I was a kid I whent to the movies and saw a trailer for this movie, but I never watched the movie. I thought it was fever dream! Thanks a million for making this video.

Night & Day Watch were both very popular in Australia when they came out on video. You need to do a video on Day Watch to close Anton's arc.

Love this movie. One of the best! Thank you for covering it and their powers 😁

I have both Night Watch and Day Watch on DVD. I LOVE these movies, and I am soooo glad you are covering this. One of my favourite flicks. I'd recommend watching it in its original Russian, however.

I remember seeing both movies years back, excellent film's and another great video thanks!

Keep going Cogan, you’re doing amazing work 👌

It’s probably been said before but i would love to see a deep dive on the world of Vampire Hunter D and the novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi.

I thought I hadn't seen Night Watch, only Day Watch. But now that I'm watching this I realize I did watch them back to back. Day Watch just left a way bigger impression

Ive seen this in The Cinema in sub. Respect and keep up the epic work.

THEB VERSION I SAW IN HIGH SCHOOL HAD THE COOLESST

This was so good

I've never heard of this and I love it instantly

Love this movie always been one of my favourite movies

please do day watch next. this is such a amazing film series

Man, it was that long ago? I remember watching it at the movies and loving it! Im sp happy you're talking about this Night Watch :D

I had both these on dvd I never really understood them but I loved the concept and imaging and stuff

yes for part 2!

Absolutely loved this video and am very very intrigued to watch the movies. Plz do a second on day watch or more in depth on this one.

Such a cool concept

Never thought I'd see the nightwatch on this channel! I picked up the first three books and I really enjoyed it. This was one of the first Russian movies I've seen and it surprised me. The lore is so interesting, highly recommend the books to anyone who is interested in the supernatural.

Love all your videos but i especially enjoy ones about the supernatural that i have never seen or heard of. You got to do the sequel to this one asap please.👍

Would love to see you do a video on the hemlock Grove series

Thank you ☺️

That was cool got to see it now

Just saw the Abigal trailer can't wait looks good.

Thank you very much, master Cogan! Was very surprised to see your take on this. Not gonna lie, I liked it more than the films unfortunately) They are funny in the sense, that a lot of stuff in them is out of context or completely new and not from the books. Would absolutely love to hear, what you think about them (books) and can't wait for part two!

I actually remember this movie. Great story

I love your videos:) I would be interested in hearing your explanation of The Thirteenth Warrior

Thank you sir for putting this on my radar. Will definitely give it a watch.

I love these movies!

Glad My list is getting finally recognized .

it was so good

Thank you 😊 I watched this movie years ago, and I've never been able to find it anywhere. Nobody knows anything about this movie, so again, thanks, mate 👍

This movie was a trip, especially without having any knowledge of the book. 17:40 I think the reason why the witch at the beginning of the movie was trying to kill the unborn child was precisely because she was able to sense who he'd turn into later in life or that he's eventually going to be a threat. She's also not the last dark other that tries to kill him either.

Love both films. Got lucky and saw them in a RedBox in the Walmart in my tiny little town. Was blown away.

This was a trip

Great movie👍👍

Never heard but am getting it for sure thanks

Hey, I really enjoy your videos, keep it up! A small note of interest, the director of the two Watch movies is Timur Bekmambetov, who also directed Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.

I watched these years ago and had them in an English dub. They were so good!

Definitely want to hear more about the lore ..Daywatch Plssss❤

The books were epic

Awesome and so the sequel.

I have it on dvd, and it has the subtitles.

I think, I have both on DVD somewhere, but only the international editions. There were a lot of cuts, especially to the first movie. They cut out an entire plot thread about a light-aligned incubus, for example. It may seem out of place, but, imho, it is a useful scene to show the night watch (the light side) isn't necessarily all that "good" or "virtuous" either--it's more an ideology war. The books, of course, go into a lot more detail about deconstructing the light vs dark idea and making both sides morally gray, cliché as they are :D

Yes please do the Sequel

I got it subbed and dubbed alongside Daywatch. Found in a random Big Lots a few years back.

Woo ... saw this is the theatre

This makes me want to watch the films again

At one point this movie was on every shelves at Blockbuster. I had no choice but to rent it. It was a pretty good movie!

Hot damn I loved Night Watch! Also, the novel was fun.

Nope, in the books, shapeshifters come in every shape and sizes, regardless of the side, light shapeshifters are called metamorphsorcerours while dark shapeshifters are known colloquially as werewolfs (because this is the most common transformation) but also can take different shapes like giant lizards. Also its it good to note that Gesar/Geser, both in the movies and in the books, is the actual King Gesar of the kingdom of Link from the ancient Central Asian/Tibetan epic, he uses alias of Boris Ignatievitch, while for Zabulon/Zavulon is also an alias, taken from the old testament, while his real name is Artur, not much beyond that is known about him. One on 20k humans is born "other", I will not go into much details as the books are much more lore heavy than the films but there is at least one other method for an ordinary person to become "other". There are much more dark others than light ones, as there are much more evil people than good people, but the light others in average are much more powerful to compensate. There are two ways one unlocks their "other" abilities, some never do and live their lives as ordinary humans, others are born humans, they either have to be discovered by anther of their kind and turned, so to speak, or to unlock their abilities by some highly emotional state, due to which they enter the gloom/twilight by accident, as part of the "game" sometimes newly discovered other are manipulated to join one side or the other depending who discovered them. The second way is more common but with higher mortality rate as the new born others do not know how to survive in the gloom/twilight and are consumed by it, unless they luck out and get out or someone helps them, again by accident. The side is chosen at the first manifestation of the powers and is highly variable, and is mostly determined by two things, the emotional state and character, however it is possible one to change side after their transformation, but is very rare. Others are immortal, not just vampires. The gloom/twilight does not exist anywhere outside Earth, if there is no human life there is no gloom/twilight, like space, for instance. There is possibility for events in the real world to manifest in the gloom/twilight, like when the atomic bombs in Hiroshima/Nagasaki were detonated, the others in the gloom/twilight were incinerated as well, at least those in the first couple of layers, the stronger the event, deeper it penetrates. In the deeper layer of the gloom/twilight others lose their human likeness, dark go more monstrous, while light can go more angelic, but its usually up tp personal preference.

The movie: John Dies at the End, had weird head bugs too!
