Deathwatch

Deathwatch

A group of English soldiers find themselves trapped behind enemy lines during the horrific trench warfare of World War I. After a difficult battle, the survivors of the regiment take refuge in a mazelike enemy trench which is deserted save for one German soldier who warns them that an evil, supernatural force lives among the trenches. The men shrug off the superstitious warning but are soon overcome by something beyond human reason as one by one they suffer mysterious and gruesome deaths. DEATHWATCH offers a grim portrayal of the relentless rain, rats, and mud of WWI trench warfare and transforms the horror genre into a chilling indictment of the brutality of war.
