Years before Nordic Noir took the TV world by storm with such hits as The Killing and The Bridge, writer-director Ole Bornedal had already put the genre on the map with Nightwatch, an unforgettably nail-biting thriller and the breakout film of both Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) and Kim Bodnia (Pusher).

Law student Martin (Coster-Waldau) works as a night watchman at the morgue to help fund his studies, while a spate of grisly murders is shaking Copenhagen. His newfound nightly duties and friendship with the devil-may-care Jens (Bodnia) put a strain on his relationship with his girlfriend Kalinka (Sofie Gråbøl, The Killing). But when inspector Wörmer (Ulf Pilgaard, Borgen) begins to suspect he may be behind the killings, Martin must race to find the real killer and clear his name. Set thirty years after the first film, Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever sees Martin's daughter Emma (Fanny Leander Bornedal, The Bridge) following in his footsteps working nights at the Copenhagen morgue to understand the events that shook her father so deeply. But a new series of murders begins in a twisted echo of the past, and Martin must face his trauma head on and team up with Emma to stop history from repeating itself.

Full of captivating performances and foreboding suspense, Nightwatch and Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever represent the high watermark of Nordic Noir and are a must-have for any genre film aficionado.
