Our take

From larcenous intruders to a murdered child, a security guard is having one hell of a shift in this atmospheric chiller from Mexican filmmaker Diego Ros. Tinging its nocturnal thrills with dark comedy, The Night Guard ratchets tension until the full force of its horrors comes knocking at the door.
