Nocturne
On Amazon Prime

This is the second of the "Welcome to Blumhouse" movies I've watched so far. And it's... pretty good.

Nocturne is about a pair of twins where one is considered a piano prodigy and the other is considered less talented. The less talented one finds a notebook that makes her become more obsessed with popularity like her sister.

It's your typical delusions of grandeur kind of story in which someone will do whatever necessary to become the best. There's a lot to it, but overall it's done well. Maybe not as well as movies like Black Swan or... shit, there's like another three movies of this same ilk I can't even remember. But it does a good job of it. I never felt particularly enthralled by it probably until the end, which is honestly pretty satisfying.

The strongest parts of this movie are strong, but there's a lot here that kind of meanders. It doesn't get particularly tense until the ending either. I can see why this made it to Welcome to Blumhouse because... hey, how do you market this thing? It's worth a watch if you want to see an interesting and dark take on college kids wanting to be the best at their art at any costs. But I think this could have been more than it was.

Rating: 6/10
