Nocturne |
On Amazon Prime Video, NOCTURNE is a new horror movie starring Sydney Sweeney in an amazingly impressive broadcast. While this is a horror film, the mystery and thriller subgenres also play enormous parts in this storyline.
This is a creation of Blumhouse and one of the four films released for Halloween here in 2020 on Amazon Prime Video. As part of the "Welcome to the Blumhouse" anthology, all four movies were released. Evil Eye will be released on the same day along with this movie, which means all four movies are out now.
When you read the Nocturne plot, you can hardly help but think of The Perfection, the awesome Netflix horror movie. Though Nocturne is about piano players, cello players were the subject of The Perfection. Nevertheless, aside from the instrument, there are clearly parallels between these two tales.
And yet, once you get into this Amazon Prime horror movie, it really isn't something you think about.

The ending of Nocturne
Sometimes, the ending of a movie can leave you feeling either annoyed or completely elated. For me, the Nocturne ending was the latter. The final image of this Blumhouse horror movie is one that should leave one hell of an impression on most.
While the ending of Nocturne might not be a huge surprise, the way it’s shown was a real punch to the gut. In the best of ways!
And yes, this was also the case with the earlier mentioned Netflix horror movie The Perfection. However, I assure you, the ending of Nocturne is extremely memorable for very different reasons. Again, those final moments are what really pulls it together in a way I didn’t expect.
Nocturne was written and directed by Zu Quirke who is getting a feature film debut with this movie. She’s done a few short films in recent years, so Nocturne is the big leap into feature filmmaking. Having Blumhouse producing and a worldwide release on Amazon Prime Video for Halloween is a pretty big way to begin your feature film career.
Zu Quirke herself is a musician and drew on her own experiences when writing the script for Nocturne. Most of the story plays out in a creative arts school, which isn’t unlike the one you might know from Fame (even though I realize this is a rather dated reference for many). Still, this is just the backdrop for a lot of crazy stuff that happens to the character Juliet (Sydney Sweeney).
I would give this movie a solid 3½ out of 5 since I do feel it has a lot going for it. And while a runtime around the 90-minute mark is usually very good, I felt that it would have been better if it was just a bit tighter. Still, I would definitely recommend checking this out on Amazon Prime Video.
Nocturne is out on Amazon Prime Video from October 13, 2020.
