Nicole

Nicole is definitely a fun ride, a nice blend of horror and comedy. The lead actress is wonderful and so is the fun dialogue and black and white cinematography and world. I love the Hitchcock homage and then the shift to color when her world gets better. I was thoughtfully entertained by this first date gone wrong, full of yearning, haunting of past trauma. This was a really well-done indie film.

Starts with a powerful opening image of the lead with blood covering her face. The black and white photography is made all the more striking by the bookended bits of color.

The dialog is sharp and the tension is maintained throughout, with some geniunely funny bits throughout to relieve it. Great bad date gonna very bad vibe.

It was a good movie with decent acting by the cast liked the black and white theme,wasn't sure where the comedy was till middle/end of movie....ended kinda weird though.

I found Nicole while browsing through some new releases on Amazon. The poster is striking and caught my attention, so I watched the trailer. The trailer actually gave me chills, so I dove right in. Nicole is an indie suspense/horror film about "a first date gone wrong." The movie is a bit of a slow-burn, in a good way, and has an arthouse vibe to it. There's actually some beautiful black and white cinematography in it too, which reminded me a bit of old films noir. I don't want to spoil too much about where the film goes, but I definitely found Nicole to be worthwhile entertainment.

This film is a neat piece of work. I like how it slowly builds up the tension until you find yourself literally sitting at the edge of your seat. The performances are very commendable and are really what drives this film. Use of colors is unique and adds to the quality of the film.
