Night Watch
From acclaimed director Ole Bornedal, comes a nerve-shredding journey into the terrifying heart of darkness and the depths of a diabolical mind. Martin a young law student, takes on a job as the overnight watchman at a local morgue to fund his studies, while his girlfriend, Kalinka studies to be an actress. His hell-raising, potentially insane best friend, Jens, uses the situation to embark upon an escalating series of audacious and grisly stunts and challenges, much to the disapproval of the local police and Inspector Wormer.
Investigating a series of psychopathic murders involving young prostitutes being left scalped, Wormer's suspicions become aroused when one of these games goes perhaps a step too far. Now Martin is fighting for his and Kalinka's life as the killer, aware of all that they know, decides they must be silenced for good.

Great little chiller
I love this film, much better than the remake with Ewan Mcgregor so get this instead.
Guy get's a job during the night in a morgue and things start getting slowly strange as the nights go by. He has a very on the edge friend, a creepy detective, and a psychotic killer on the loose and as the bodies pile up things get rough for the poor attendant.
Really good acting, subtitles you can read, a lovely print on to DVD and genuinely creepy.

If you don't like this...
If you don't like this, perhaps you don't like a good honest well made film.
But, if you prefer your 'thrillers' with a real story, characters you are intrigued by, a few shocks and genuine atmosphere - rather than the current endless prosaic gore of the genre - you'll love this. You won't be disappointed.
On a technical note, this is yet another good Scandinavian film which was later remade in Hollywood. Why can't people get to grip with subtitles...? -
