This is a remake of the original Danish thriller Nattevagten, and it is not too shabby. The cast is pretty good, especially Nick Nolte and Ewan McGregor, but you can see young Josh Brolin showing off his talent.
A young law student takes up a night watchman job in order to get more money in a medical examiners office. But soon he will discover that maybe he does not need the money that bad. A serial killer that kills prostitutes is on the loose and the police is having trouble connecting the dots. Who is the killer and who will survive is up to you to find out. There are a lot of creepy scenes although the director does not use too much such a weird and frightening environment. Also the mystery enveloping the quest for the identity of the killer is very intriguing, so you will suspect everyone. Enjoy.

Cast: Ewan McGregor, Patricia Arquette, Josh Brolin, Lauren Graham, Nick Nolte, Brad Dourif

Fun Stuff: The black and white picture of the guy on death row in the cabin is the same one used in the original version of this movie (Nattevagten (1994)).
