Back of the box:
Jamie Bell, Hugo Speer, Laurence Fox, Andy Serkis and Matthew Rhys

understand what they're up against so they can vanquish it before it

The Bloody Truth:
I have always loved period horror and more specifically WW1 or 2 area
horror. Something about adding a dash of the supernatural to the already
boundless terrors of war just seems to grab my attention. Deathwatch a
strong festival circuit direct to video, film. It does a fantastic job of
capturing the fear, anger and isolation of the WWI fog of war.
Standout performances and a beautiful balance of horror elements caused
this film to be surprisingly enjoyable and keeps you guessing all the way to
its thought provoking ending. Deathwatch is yet another example of a
horror film that is treated with respect and quality filmmaking never takes a
back seat to cheap horror.
