All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

My only gripe about this film is that it is a trench combat film, yet nobody had or used a spade. I would have liked to have seen that. But other than that this film is very well done. The way it starts off, it could have been a solid WW1 film. The actors are brilliant and the director does a great job of showing how nasty the trenches are, with rats, mud, constant rain, dead bodies, and such. The film is intense, it was tiresome to watch, and I just kept thinking how tired and frustrated these soldiers must be. The acting, the characters, the location (trench), the filming it drew me in. Now let's talk about the supernatural element, reminds me a bit of Jacob's Ladder and Event Horizon put together. Those two films are usually spoken highly of, so I'm saying this as a compliment that it has elements of both of those films put together and executed successfully. Also the ending is kind of like Ghostship, someone on here said it was death, I kept saying to myself Hades, so yeah, there is an ongoing cycle which makes the story a little bit clever. Special effects reminds me of Hellraiser 2 although not as intensive, and also along the lines of Evil Dead, anyway I'll take this over the CGI mess you frequently see today. To me the budget of this film didn't seem low, if I had seen this in the theater I would have been satisfied. The WW1 aspect of the film was good enough to stand alone as a pure WW1 flick IMO, and the undead barbwire guys looked really awesome, too bad we only get to see them once. The supernatural aspect of the story to me is well done too and it makes sense to me. I was pleasantly surprised!

Not scary some moments of suspense but not a strong horror and certainly does not 'blow the horror genre to bits' but this movie has a strong storyline there are a lot of haters but if you follow the story line and stick to it you'll understand the true meaning it's a gory movie with some quality acting and I would recommend it if you can understand the storyline properly it's not your average horror movie in the trenches and the ending surprised me and was interesting. Many of the actors are not well known but act very well with some great acting from Jamie bell and Andy Serkis (the two most well know actors in the film) . I really enjoyed this movie there will always be different opinions on all movies but it's really not as bad as people have made it out to be.

I've seen many bad movies but that one was way worst than getting a tooth plucked out... It was poorly made in so many ways in despise of the trenches being realistic and really well done the realization was bleh and the directing was inexistent I hope. The movie was slow paced, seemed to last for 10 hours and overall uninteresting, most of the ''horror'' scenes seemed like cheap rip offs from some other big horror movies (the barb wire scene (did someone see Silent hill once too many time?))... I had such high expectations for that one and I was deceived on all of them... bad bad bad movie. Please don't tell me I didn't get it I understood the movie and what it was about, the idea was great hence I wanted to see it so bad but the movie wasn't good it could have been a great movie but it is not!

Deathwatch is written and directed by Michael J. Bassett and stars Jamie Bell, Laurence Fox, Andy Serkis, Kris Marshall & Rúaidhrí Conroy.Members of Y Company go over the top and get separated from the rest of their regiment. Capturing a German trench, the lads think they have found the ideal place to dig in and keep safe. They reckon wrong as something evil dwells within.With this coming a year after John Carpenter rip off The Bunker (Rob Green), it feels like the "men in trenches" horror film should be left alone. For this is another tepid piece, hamstrung by an unimaginative script and bogged down by uneventful passages of play masquerading as atmospheric build up. Perhaps more galling is the waste of a good British cast. Bell wasn't ready for this type of film, his first after the marvellous Billy Elliot, asking him to lead off a piece full of one dimensional characters really isn't fair. There's some value in Fox's posh Capitano performance, whilst Serkis goes enjoyably OTT as a mentalist, but other than the brilliant set design there's little to cheer here.Wasted potential of premise and cast makes this a roundly disappointing effort. 3/10
