Stars: Sidney Sweeney, Jacques Colimon
Budget: Unknown
Directed By: Zu Quirke
This movie is one of four horror films made or selected by Blumhouse for Amazon Prime over the October period. I'll be reviewing each one with my thoughts on each film, next up:
Gosh well I found this a slow burn from the beginning, almost to the boring. It was only saved by small flashes that grabbed my attention back from such a snooze fest.
The acting was very wooden and boring too, effects wise the effects on show were good for what they were. Practical on the dark drippy eyes looked believable. To it's strength this was the first one that actually felt horror based rather than a thriller.
However the droning monologues and incredibly boring plot were the downfall of this piece, mix that with something that is not a love of mine, piano music, this was a dead end.
On with the plot of the film.
Twin sisters Viv and Juliet grow up with a love of the piano, both good at playing but Viv unfortunately begins to out-shadow her sister. Juliet works very hard to keep her standards up where as Vivian it seems to come very easy.
Juliet becomes disillusioned with how hard she's working and not getting nowhere, with no time for her life. Vivian however has time to see friends, talk up the tutors and pursue other enjoyments.
Juliet comes across a deceased students book that somehow seems to improve her life and skills at the cost of bizarre things happening to friends and family.
Yeah I'll leave it there you know how I feel about this film, it's got a decent story on paper but to me at least was just too boring in execution. Again no budget to be found on this, can't have been much.
THN awards Nocturne (2020) a weak 2 out of 5, so we won't spoil the ending as usual, watch it if your doing a marathon of the four films
