Nocturna

Definitely worth watching for any vampire fansEven if you're like me and you prefer to watch things were the vampires turn out to be likable this is still a good watch

This was a fantastic film. loved the new Danny Agha, kid was amazing, also great camera work, Estella Warren was beautiful as always. looking forward to a sequel *fingers crossed. All year we've seen mirages of good films. Here is the real thing. To transport picture goers to a unique place in the glare of the earth, in the darkness of the heart—this, you realize with a gasp of joy, is what movies can do. Any review is irrelevant to this movie; it is either above criticism or beneath contempt. But for those who park their sense and sensibility at the 'plex door, there's plenty to enjoy in the performances, the rowdy innocence of the whole thing. over all I give this film 10 out 10 and would recommend it for any one who's "seen it all" and is looking for a fun little film to catch, makes great for date night and a bottle of wine.

I watched the movie Nocturna (2015) last night and I was pleasantly surprised. Two vampire families fighting for the supremacy of New Orleans. Each having their own way of survival and both being around for centuries. The plot was easy to follow. Wow! A horror film with a plot.

The camera work was good. Most scenes were at night, but you could clearly see every detail. One detail in particular, the children being held captive in their little cages.

The film's greatest strength was it made me think the two main characters, Harry and Lydia, were real people who just happen to devour blood for survival. I like how it ended with a sacrifice and the possibility of a new love connection with Harry's partner Cody. I can easily see the sequel in this ending.

I give this movie great marks because it was different from all of the other ones in this genre. Good Show! Well written!

Vampires in New Orleans, whats not to like?

Movie opens with cops & an investigation that leads them to the Vamp hangout. There is a real loose and bad storyline that unfolds. The movie description talks of a "Vampire War" which there isnt. What there is, is a power struggle between 2 families. The agression is brought on by cop and one female vampire.

I like low budget and dont mind so so acting, but the sound mixing in this movie is horribile.

The camera work & scene location is good, the directing marginal, the writing is extremely weak.

About 2/3 into the movie the look changes alittle and it has a real bad cheesy Full Moon Productions look to it. Hey, thats ok, i like Full Moon.

The entertainment value is there, visually not bad. Its hard to watch late nght as you will be up and down on the volume. I wouldn't recommed this movie & certainly would not rewatch it. I collect movies, i prefer to see one that has me buying the Blu Ray, even before its over.

I hesitated to view the movie with my children as I did not like the extreme violence in most other films we see all the time. The children involved in this horror action is what grabbed my attention to watch it with my kids. Indeed I was happy to see what I called "soft action." I loved the way the cast were performing especially the detectives, the children and the female Vampire leader. I remember back in last century, when Dracula and his family movies were controlling the film market with blood thrilling actions, one time I found my self hiding in my mother's bed every night for almost a month, afraid of getting Mr Dracula into my bedroom in a winter rainy dark day. But this time, my kids loved this film and so am I as we can easy follow the stream of the story through wonderful actors and actresses. The only time I really wanted to understand is what's gonna happen to the Vampires, both detectives and other people who survived the war.
