Review of Nocturne

Nocturne (II) (2020)
6/10
Intriguing
8 November 2020
The 4th and final film in the Blumhouse/Amazon collab "Welcome to Blumhouse" is the least effective of the four. That being said it's still a decent but slightly generic shocker. The movie is a mix of Black Swan with a dash of Hereditary. It centers on a young woman whose one of two talented pianists currently enrolled in a performing arts school who are both twins. After the suicide of the school's top talent, it leaves an opening for one of them to be featured in an end of the year concert. One of them seems to have it all while the other constantly struggles. That is until she gets hold of the dead girls notebook and begins experiencing delusions, pushing herself and hurting her sister. This was a really hard one to get into but it's well made with good performances and the subject matter that explores the stress teens feel is intriguing and relevant. Although it never quite reaches the heights of it's creepy potential. The effort is admirable and overall interesting enough to merit a light reccomend.
