Nocturna

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.

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.

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.

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

Bad story, really bad writing, and very bad acting on top of it. After sitting through this torture, I have to believe anyone who gives this a positive review was involved in making it, or is friend or family to someone involved. You can't get get the 90 minutes back so watch at your own risk...
