The sequel to the 2004 Russian blockbuster Night Watch – and the second part of a yet-to-be concluded trilogy based on the novels of Sergei Lukyanenko – Day Watch is a big, baggy monster of a film, a spectacular, fast-paced and hallucinogenic epic that is, if anything, both more deliriously inventive and more head-spinningly convoluted and confusing than its predecessor. The story begins a year after the events of Night Watch, and the powers of light and darkness (monitored by the Day Watch and Night Watch) are in a position of uneasy truce that is threatening to break down and unleash a battle of apocalyptic proportions.
