From the Arrow press release:
On July 22nd, the overnight shift gets deadly with The Nightwatch Collection, featuring the original Danish Nightwatch from writer-director Ole Bornedal and his 2023 sequel Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever. The Limited Edition release features 1080p high-definition transfers of both films on two Blu-rays with hours of special features.
Law student Martin (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Game of Thrones) becomes the night shift security guard at the Forensic Medicine Institute. He can stay up all night and study in the office. There is one uncomfortable part of the gig when he must make the rounds of the facility including walking through the morgue. The recently deceased bodies disturb him. There are always new bodies showing up because a serial killer that scalps their victims is loose in Copenhagen. Police Inspector Wörmer (Ulf Pilgaard, Borgen) suspects Martin after one victim is connected to him and his friend Jens (Kim Bodnia, Pusher). Nightwatch – Demons Are Forever is a sequel that reunites original cast members that survived the first film. Another serial killer is scalping victims nearly 30 years later. The sequel stars Fanny Leander Bornedal (The Bridge) as the new night security guard at the Forensic Medicine Institute dealing with an old issue.
The special features include an iIllustrated collector’s booklet with an essay by Eva Novrup Redvall, audio commentary by writer-director Ole Bornedal, an interview with director of photography Dan Laustsen, an appreciation of Nightwatch and Nightwatch: Demons are Forever by Nordic Noir specialist Barry Forshaw, a Nightwatch making-of documentary, the trailer, a video essay by film critic Heather Wixson on the horrors of adulthood, a video essay by film critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas on the Nightwatch Universe, a trailer, and a double-sided foldout poster featuring newly commissioned artwork for both films by Peter Strain.
