When supernatural urban fantasy film "Night Watch" (2004) was released outside of Russia, a new version was produced. An inferior one, imo. Since then the "International" version became the one distributed across all formats, and the original 115 min cut became confined to a DVD released only in Russia.

Now you can find a direct stream copy of the DVD together with official English subtitles in an MKV here: archive.org/details/night-watc

Since it's Russian media produced by the state, here's a quick note:

The director of the film Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) spoke out against Russian war in Ukraine.

The writer of the source novel Sergey Lukyanenko banned Ukrainian translations of his books, denies Ukraine's existence, and wished violence on Ukrainian children.

So that's where we're at 20 years later. 🤷‍♂️

Added OCRed external subtitles, so you don't have to deal with original DVD font.
