The Nightwatch Collection Blu-ray – Horror Double Feature Remastered in HD with Special Feature

Horror Hounds are always looking for a new film to experience. Well, now horror movie fans can dive into the ultimate horror Blu-ray experience with Arrow Video’s The Nightwatch Collection. Before Nordic Noir became so popular on TV with The Killing and The Bridge, writer-director Ole Bornedal was ahead of the curve with his film Nightwatch.

Now Arrow Video have taken this cult Scandinavian thriller Nightwatch and its chilling sequel and put it on Blu-ray. But has also packed this release with exclusive bonus content, that horror film fans are going to eat up! Let's take a look at these two films.

Movie Rating:

*=You haven’t missed anything.

Nightwatch (1994) A law student starts working as a night watchman at The Department of Forensic Medicine in Copenhagen. His mad friend gets him on a game of dare that escalates. As a serial-killer's victims start piling up at work, he becomes a suspect. ***

Nightwatch: Demon Are Forever (2023) Martin's daughter, Emma, takes up a night watch job to find out what happened to her parents almost thirty years ago. A meeting with Wörmer in his cell pulls the serial killer out of his coma and sets in motion a chain of fateful events. **

These films have been transferred to Blu-ray in High-Definition (1080p) Blu-ray with Nightwatch presented in 1.85:1 aspect ratio and Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever presented in 2.39:1 aspect ratio. There are audio options for original lossless stereo and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio options for both films. Finally, there is the option for English subtitles for both films.

One thing is true with Arrow Video they always put their best foot forward with their transfers. And this collection is no different. These two films look so crisp and clean. I kind of wished thee was English dubs for these films. This would make the films much more enjoyable. But wonderful transfers is not all that this Blu-ray set has going for it. Take a look at the bonus features Arrow Video included on this set.
