I had expected something more of a horror movie when I sat down to watch the 2016 movie "Nocturne", especially given the movie's cover. Instead I was given a horrible and god awful movie about secrets and sexual promiscuity.
This was a massive swing and a miss of a movie. And I managed to endure about 45 minutes of a movie that made very little sense, and actually failed to properly entertain me in any noteworthy manner.
The characters in the movie were bland and pointless to me, and I can honestly say that I can't even remember a single name of any of the characters, nor put a face to them.
The storyline was just as bland and pointless as the character, so at least that was something, I suppose. I wasn't the least bit entertained by what transpired on the screen. And everything that did happen, which was boring beyond belief, was lived out in such a slow pace that you just wanted to gouge your eyes out while yelling "get on with it already".
I seriously have no idea what writers Katy Baldwin, Kristi Shimek and Stephen Shimek were trying to accomplish with the story that they wrote. And it turned out that the collective writing apparently gave director Stephen Shimek very little to work with.
There is no chance of me returning to watch the rest of "Nocturne", as the movie failed to appeal to me, and my time cannot be squandered any further on something this pointless.
I am rating "Nocturne" a two out of ten stars. The rating is given because the movie does have a good production value to it, despite of everything else failing to appeal to me.

Oh dear Lord...
Weird
This one wasn't too bad. Some High School / College kids meet for a 'party' which turns out to be not so much of a party, more like a gathering. They decide to entertain themselves with a deck of cards to use it like a tarot deck. Then the fun really starts!!! You get some demonic love, some interdimensional / planar travel, and a prime example of what kind of parties to avoid in the future!!!
Disappointing beginning and end of movie
This is one of those movies that pulls the old did anything really happen? The movie begins and ends with the same scene. We see Jo arriving in her car to a class graduation party. We then move to the party where during the night the usual party games are played. Games like have you never ever,good ole strip poker and of course the ever popular seance, where of course they forget the very important step of making the spirit leave.
The rest of the movie is a mish mash of unbelievable things happening that have you screaming impotently at the screen trying to get the actors (very weak actors I might add) to have a little common sense.
Then comes that ending that I despise more than a person should where it ends in a big old circle that makes you wonder why you wasted over an hour or however long this movie lasts.
