Synopsis
Nightwatch (Nattevagten, 1994) is a Danish thriller directed by Ole Bornedal — watch it online on iFILM. Law student Martin lands a night watchman gig at the city morgue to cover his tuition. Quiet, steady money. No one around to bother him. Then the serial killings start, and the bodies keep landing on his table.
Before long, detectives are pointing their questions directly at Martin — he was always there, always alone with the victims. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau carries the film in an early-career performance that mixes ordinary-guy panic with creeping desperation. Kim Bodnia and Sofie Gråbøl round out the cast.
Bornedal builds the dread through institutional silence and bad fluorescent lighting rather than cheap jolts — effective enough that he remade the film himself in Hollywood three years later. Stream the Danish original Nightwatch (1994) online on iFILM.
