More stuff about that movie, mostly morning-after critical. This is spoilery.
* I found it interesting, and in retrospect surprising, that unless I miscounted only one person died (outside of the intro battle sequence and its visionary reprise) -- the vampiric creep in the first reel.
* Why was that business with the airplane even in the movie? Was a power outage not dramatic enough by itself?
* For that matter, why did the lights come back on after the curse was lifted, while the power plant remained blowed-up? Maybe the curse was suppressing an emergency back-up power source? Eh who knows.
* What was with that guy at the beginning, to whom the two generals whispered their truce to, and then he apparently aged several decades? I was expecting the old man to be revealed as the film's narrator, but this doesn't happen -- we simply don't see that guy again.
My money's on the last bit getting clarified in the second or third movie. (According to WP the second one, Day Watch, has already been released in Russia, and the third is in casting.)
