    Storyline

    Edit
    In 1917, in the Western front, a group of survivors of the British Company Y reach the most forward German trench in a foggy night. They capture a German soldier that advises that evil is in the trench, forcing the soldiers to kill each other, and asks them to leave the place. Only the private Charlie Shakespeare listens and helps the prisoner, while a supernatural force scares and makes the soldiers insane. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Many of the most horrific images in the film were inspired by a book called 'The Covenant of War'.
    • Goofs
      In one scene it shows one of the soldiers finding and later talking on a radio. This could not be possible since radios for military field use that you could talk on did not exist until WW2. The primary mode of radio communication would be by CW (Morris Code) using a telegraph type key and not by picking up a handheld microphone. In 1917 radio transmitters were large and cumbersome to operate under field conditions especially in a trench where antennas were also needed to transmit and receive radio signals.
    • Quotes

      Sgt. David Tate: All right, boys lets get this trench secure.

      Pfc. Charlie Shakespeare: Sarge.

      Pvt. Thomas Quinn: Yes, sergeant.

      Pvt. Jack Hawkstone: Yes, sarge.

      Pvt. Barry Starinski: Fuckin' hell, sarge.

    A good and creepy movie
    During the horror of world war II, a few survivors of an English regiment, trapped behind enemy lines take refuge in a deserted German trench. When no help arrives, they begin to suffer mysterious and gruesome fates at the hands of something more terrifying than the war itself.

    I found this film to be very enjoyable, it has a wonderfully creepy and suspenseful atmosphere, and the setting for the movie is perfectly dark and mysterious to heighten the plot.

    Deathwatch is solidly directed and well cast and is a very different take on the horror genre as a whole that is refreshing to see.
