Nocturna

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!

For a indie supernatural thriller it wasn't bad. The acting was ok, and the fight scenes were better than expected. There are definitely some technical and writing issues. For example, the last big action scene was a little muddy and confusing. But the basic premise kept my interest enough for me to finish the movie. I'd reccomend for a watch if you're bored and like vampire thrillers. But just keep your expectations low.

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.

Interesting film with a beautiful story just missing more thrills. Casts were chosen perfectly for each one's role but I did not understand the end of it, is there part two to continue? Are both detectives became or will become part of the vampire thugs? My kids love horror movies especially when children involved in the storyline. Detective Ganet with his face expressions makes you feel that a disaster will erupt, and his Detective Cody demonstrated a special wonderful character for the first time. I remember Moldero (Estella Warren) with her previous film with Stallone. Carlo was the core of the Vanpires that the detectives tried to uncover. At the end, I enjoyed watching Nocturna as a good piece of Art.

Good acting, directing and writing! Enjoyed the spooky Southern locations. Well done
