I have to admit, that I did not expect what the movie gave me. And I use the term movie losely in regards to the piece of art I consumed. And I do not mean this in an offensive or even derogatory way. Even for what it presented itself to be - I tried to give it a chance. I actually believe that some can work with what is being served here.
I can say without a shadown of a doubt that the majority will not be impressed or entertained by much of it. Yes there is nudity and some blood/violence, but either you will be appaled by it (you shouldn't be here in the first place I reckon) or it won't excite you enough/to a degree where you can actually enjoy any of it (no pun intended).
This is some gothic ... stuff (feel free to use another word starting with an s, not encouraging you, not declining you that use either and no pun intended) ... stuff that you have to dig. And a music video vibe of low (budget) caliber. No dialog of note, no story in a wider or broader sense ... there is a lot you probably will dislike here .. or you will relish in the pragmatism and minimalism of the goth art ... and music and make up and ... stuff as I said.
I usually do not condone people watching just a small part of the movie and then rating it, but I would not hold it against you, if you stop watching this after a while ... it will not get "better" (for you that is) ... a time waster then, if you let it be (no pun intended). Just be sure not to perform the rituals depicted ... they may be real (I'm kidding of course about them being real ... I think)
Plot summary
Haunted by the darkness as she wanders through a dead city, our young, doomed heroine Angelique is stricken with hallucinatory visions as she learns the story of a cruel and loveless vampiress. Her visions are of the bizarre rituals that imprison a group of Satanic worshippers in a cycle of dying passion, and who seek to survive beyond the grave. In Angelique's ears, only the music of the gothic atmosphere flows to augment her quest into the horror and the passion of the dead - and no voice can rise above it. A haunting, enigmatic tribute to the classic Euro-Horror works of Jean Rollin and Jess Franco. Brazilian filmmaker Larissa Anzoategui created a film inspired by authors Lord Byron and the Brazilian Álvares de Azevedo and Anzoategui's passion for expressionist aesthetics. The cast and crew was composed completely of women under the direction of Larissa Anzoategui ("Astaroth") in her sophomore film.

Waste/ing (away)
Oh dear lord...
When I sat down to watch this 2021 movie titled "Domina Nocturna" I was expecting to be watching a horror movie, especially so since the movie was labeled as a horror movie here on IMDb.
But as it turned out, I was in for an avantgarde artsy gothic movie that proved to be anything but interesting. In fact, I only managed to endure 25 minutes of the ordeal, then I was ready to pluck my eyes out and stuff my ears with cotton.
This movie had absolutely nothing alluring or interesting to offer in terms of a properly interesting and captivating storyline. It felt like a random tirade of randomly filmed sequences that writer Ramiro Giroldo and director Larissa Anzoategui just came up with and put together in no sequenced order to make a movie. And it didn't help that the movie had no dialogue, and there was just one song played after another, back to back.
The 25 minutes I endure were painstakingly slow paced and uneventful, and it just utterly made me give up on the movie and have zero interest in continuing on, because nothing appealed to the in "Domina Nocturna".
This is definitely one of the most boring movies I have stumbled upon. And I can in all honesty say that I am not returning to give this movie a second chance, because I just simply have absolutely no interest in the utter lack of a coherent and entertaining storyline that was "Domina Nocturna". And I can't recommend that you waste your time, money or effort on this movie.
My rating of "Domina Nocturna" lands on a mere one out of ten stars. This was truly an unfathomably boring excuse of a movie.
