Watch The Trailer For Shudder’s NIGHTWATCH: DEMONS ARE FOREVER – Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Kim Bodnia and Ulf Pilgaard Reprise Roles In Sequel To Danish Cult-Classic NIGHTWATCH (1994)

Streaming on Shudder May 17th is NIGHTWATCH: DEMONS ARE FOREVER, the chilling sequel to the Danish cult-classic NIGHTWATCH (1994), which inspired the 1997 U.S. remake starring Ewan McGregor.

22-year-old medical student Emma (Fanny Leander Bornedal) has just taken a job as the night watch in the same forensic department where her parents were once almost killed by the famed psychopathic police inspector Wörmer. The events led to her mother’s suicide, and her father Martin (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) has turned to tranquilizers to suppress the memories. Determined to investigate what exactly happened to them, Emma tracks down and confronts Wörmer, only to unintentionally reawaken his bloodthirst and ignite a violent revenge on everyone who sealed his destiny years ago.

Written and directed by Ole Bornedal (THE POSSESSION), 1994’s Nightwatch was a success in Denmark and was shown at the Fantafestival in 1995. An English-language remake of the film, also directed by Bornedal, was released in 1997. The original Nightwatch was included on a list of the top 100 Danish films as chosen by Kosmorama.
