Dnevnoi dozor (Day watch)

(2006)

Darn! I meant to point out my 1,000th post, but then I posted it earlier today without thinking about it. So let's raise a glass to post #1,001.

A remarkable trainwreck of an apocalyptic vampire-war movie, this. And I mean that in a good way. This was supposed to have been a trilogy (or maybe a tetralogy), but 6 years later, there's apparently still nothing happening with Sumerechniy Dozor (Twilight watch). Still, there's closure here, to the extent that anything so completely bewildering can have closure.

Sadly, the only trace of the wonderfully inventive subtitles of the theatrical version is in the dissolving opening titles.
