Danish thriller auteur Ole Bornedal returns to the morgue from the horror classic Nightwatch (GFF 1995) in an intelligent sequel, a brilliant redemption for the psychological slasher genre.

Twenty years after Emma's father worked as a night watchman at the forensic institute, she herself lands a job in the same corridors. Her upbringing has been marked by her parents' trauma and repressed memories of their near-death experience at the hands of the serial killer Wörmer. But as she begins to delve into the past, it's more than just memories that come to life. Ole Bornedal elegantly expands his classic '90s thriller into a modern psychological horror tale. What appears on the surface as a sleek Nordic noir gradually evolves into a startlingly brutal display of nerve-wracking slasher brilliance.
