  Deathwatch
Deathwatch is a three-day period before an execution when strict guidelines are implemented to maintain the security and control of a condemned inmate and to maintain safe and orderly operations of the prison.
The inmate is placed in one of four cells adjacent to the execution chamber where he or she is under 24-hour observation by a team of correctional officers who work 12-hour shifts.
Once the inmate is placed on deathwatch, the routine is somewhat different from the normal prison schedule.

 Horror Movie Review | Deathwatch (2002) Michael Bassett, Jamie Bell
Then there are these guys: the compassionate doctor, the wounded soldier he's caring for, the foreign outsider, the carefree guy who always bites on a bullet, the unit chaplain, and a couple of other forgettable faces thrown in to build up the bodycount.
Horror movies like "Deathwatch", which declares itself not to be a thoughtful "ghost story" but a bloody shocker, lives and dies by its kill scenes.
Give "Deathwatch" some better "soldiers" and make it about men trying to survive the elements as well as the enemy in a rain-drenched stretch of dirt, and this would be one terrific movie.

 DEATHWATCH - DVD
The association is so suggestive that Deathwatch threatens to say things about the Great War that I've never really seen on film before--but alas, it doesn't fully grasp the potential of the link, forcing us instead to contend with fairly standard combat intrigue and officer-bashing as we wait for another flash of intelligence.
If the film doesn't quite cohere as supernatural logic (and the pit-to-hell of the climax is a bit obvious), it makes the interesting point that you have to reject the military line in order to save yourself--and in so doing surpasses the standard line of the genres that it clumsily combines.
Deathwatch might be less than a triumph as dramaturgy, but it's almost dissident in its focus.

 DEATHWATCH/ *1/2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
"Deathwatch" is horror crossed with a war movie, and if you suspect this might mean it consists of men running around in mud while eerie music plays on the soundtrack, you would be correct.
There is a lot of wandering around in the dark accompanied by weird noises, often leaving us without a clue about which character we're watching, where things are in relation to each other or what's going on in general.

 [No title]
Deathwatch therefore enters a small but established canon, one that has usually pitched soldiers against physical opponents, monsters against which their guns and muscles will have some effect.
The film is far more interested in their reactions than in the individual moments of bloodshed: while Bell may have little more to do than stare in wide-eyed horror and distorted innocence as the world collapses around him, there's a whole series of stand-out performances.
In part, Deathwatch succeeds because it takes a narrative step that some find annoying, some find to be a bit of a bullet dodge.

 Deathwatch film review
His eagerly awaited follow-up, Deathwatch, is one of the worst British films this year, and the young actor's performance is anything but compelling.
The special effects department shrouds the action sequences in a dense cloud of smoke, highlighting the artificiality of the situation: the setting may as well be a high school playing field for all we can actually see.
Deathwatch also suffers from a complete lack of suspense, culminating in a confused ending which appears to have been re-shot at the last minute (which may explain why Bell's hair grows three inches in the space of one scene).

 End Evil Films: Deathwatch Review
Deathwatch is a horror film set in the First World War trenches.
Released in 2002 it tells the story of nine British soldiers who find themselves stuck in an enemy trench and have to combat something even more frightening than the German army.
The whole production feels very cheap and the performances are all very flat and uninspiring, when you combine this with the awful script and direction you are left with a poor effort which is not worth the 94 minute running time.

 The Film Asylum Review - Deathwatch (Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis)
As their stay progresses each man is faced with unexplainable circumstances that lead them to the brink of madness and beyond.
The premise behind Deathwatch is indeed a stellar idea, exploiting the horrors of war and heightening the already terrifying situation by adding supernatural forces that play with the minds of the stressed and ragged troops.
I was under the impression that, as this idea had already been put into place by the 2001 film ‘The Bunker’, that Writer/Director Michael J. Bassett might kick off his theatrical career by replacing the supernatural element with a more tangible creature which stalks the trenches in search of it’s victims.

There is a question of taste in turning the terror of the Great War into popcorn chills, but in a curious fashion, "Deathwatch" is a reminder of the real-life horrors of war that action-heavy combat movies can blind us to.

The baffling maze of trenches--a nightmare bog of corpses,razor-wire, rats and diseased mud--is such an evocative setting that one wishes the film were all the way up to the challenge of delivering the best horror film in a war setting ever.
Deathwatch makes an interesting comparison to another film with a remarkably similar set-up called THE BUNKER that came out around the same time concerning German Soldiers in WWII.
I have a theory that if DEATHWATCH had remained purely psychological and THE BUNKER had gone in the direction of more explicit supernatural manifestations--if both films had traded certain characteristics--each film would be much stronger; as it is I prefer Deathwatch.
