Nocturne Six

This movie lacked any real cohesive storyline. It bounces around from one static filled camera view to the next and the entire time you are just trying to figure out what is going on. I honestly feel the writers were trying to create a Sci-fi horror movie in the same amateur styling as The Blair Witch Project, but failed miserably in their attempt. I was about to stop watching at several points, but figured it had to get better and of course it never did. The ending of the movie left me feeling the same way the core of the film did which was overall confused and let down. I seriously wish I had spent my time doing something more entertaining than watching this film such as... well absolutely anything would have been a better choice. I do not recommend watching this movie.

I actually watch a LOT of horror from the classics (The Black Room, White Zombie) to modern horror (Spring, Sinister)and I love everything from psychological to gory to downright creepy. Some I hated and some I really loved. I also review horror movies because I find that everyone has diverse tastes in what they find good and then some people are paid to give good reviews which cheats the viewer and they are stuck watching a train wreck and it's not even an entertaining one. Also I know that on here the directors get the actors and their friends to give the movie a high rating and write good reviews because that encourages other people to watch the movie (I fell for it), which is a really good system if the movie was actually worth watching. This movie just happens to be one of those train wrecks I mentioned earlier. The concept was good but it was executed poorly. The acting was so so bad. The staticy flickering camera was annoying because it was constantly happening. I get that it is supposed to be found footage but come on! The sound was horrible and the "demon/monster" sounded like a bleating goat. The story was disjointed and half the time you didn't know what was going on which led more to confusion than creepiness. I almost felt like I was watching a really badly done rendition of the Power Rangers meet Evil Big Foot. Not once did I feel creeped out or was I on the edge of my seat. This movie did not hold my attention and I actually had to force myself to sit through it. Not because it was scary but because I was getting so frustrated with that stupid flickering camera and confusion about what was really going on. This movie lacks any kind of intellectual stimulus. If you just want something to pass the time or for background noise this is great. If you actually want to sit down and watch a good indie horror I would pass this one up. And that's an honest answer.

This one is a very fragile idea, with a seemingly complicated plot that could be executed phenomenally.

This film failed miserably.

Using the framing device of a cable news expose', we're told of a CIA program using people with psychic abilities of some sort being teleported to alternate "planes of existence" to stop evil inhuman creatures from trying to invade our plane of existence. We follow a mission that ended in abysmal failure and led to the entire program's cancellation, via camera footage taken by the psychic teens themselves and in the facility from the handlers.

Right away the first failing of the film is how it actually handles the alternate planes of existence and how to put the people in them. They don't do anything original or interesting; the teens go to sleep with electrodes on their head, and basically "dream" everything.

Almost to a person, the acting is among the absolute worst I've ever seen, even reaching the level of middle schoolers sight-reading Shakespeare in first year English. EVERYONE is at their absolute worst, delivering lines like they're reading them for the first time ever and essentially guessing as to the context or tone of them.

there are two of CIA handlers voices, Alpha and Delta. The voice of Delta is literally someone putting on the most cartoonishly over the top "redneck" accent they can muster while still sounding serious, and Alpha sounds like a 15 year old reading lines from an NPC in a poorly written RPG game.

Speaking of NPCs in poorly written RPG games, at one point for seemingly no reason at all, we get an audio clip of a "resident mortician" from the alternate plane, and to call what he did "acting" is to call smeared fish guts baked into concrete by the sun "gourmet sushi".

Apparently drawing their inspiration from Vincent Price, they give a painfully bland monologue describing some manner of creature eating corpses in a funeral home with the sort of purple prose of a drunken teenager mockingly imitating Edgar Allen Poe. It is the epitome of every bad "creepy sinister old man" NPC voice in every poorly written computer RPG voiced by one of the production assistants with no acting experience at all.

Virtually every aspect of this short, short film is an abject failure. The story is incoherent and constantly interrupted by Beavis and Butthead (Alpha and Delta) droning moronically like pubescent teenagers trying to scare children with deep, ultra serious voices. All the video footage is heavily grained and distorted, the CG effects for the monsters literally look like they were made in MS Paint, and the sound mixing is some of the absolute worst of any movie I've ever heard, with some characters sounding like they have microphones, and others not. Some lines are barely audible, then other lines, usually curse words, are ear-splittingly loud, sometimes in the same sentence.

Nothing in this film went right. The writing, the acting, the visual effects, even the most basic stuff like sound. All of it failed abysmally, to such a colossal degree that, seeing positive reviews of this film praising the visual effects, of all things, genuinely makes me think those reviews are planted by the filmmakers. And I have almost never come across a movie review I have suspected of being a fake.

This is hands down the worst attempt at a movie I've ever seen. The story was horrible written, the directing was awful, and the acting was just atrocious. I hope for the sake of all movie viewers in the world that nobody who was involved in the spat ever gets another job in the industry. I am at a complete loss. I don't even know how to put into words how bad this film really is. The story goes absolutely nowhere. It is just non stop static on the screen attempting to create some suspense and they failed miserably at that also. The news story that is covering this project does an extremely bad job at describing what they are actually reporting. And to top off all of the bad decisions in making this film people actually seen the finished product and patted themselves on the back and said "good job guys, lets release it". Sad....Just sad.

On its surface, "Nocturne Six" seems like your typical horror film with the usual story and characters you'd come to expect in the genre. However, I was pleasantly surprised to be thrown into a gritty docu-style deconstruction of a disturbing government conspiracy involving a dark military science program.

The imagery was really haunting and the film almost felt like diving into someone's subconscious to experience a vivid nightmare. The filmmakers did an extraordinary job both creatively and technically on a small budget. Overall, this was a nice, fun movie to catch on a dark Saturday night. I was quite stunned to be as entertained as I was by it.

And the image of that creature will forever be stuck in my mind.....
