Nocturne isn’t just the best entry in the “Welcome to the Blumhouse” series, it’s one of the best Blumhouse movies in years.

Nocturne is simpatico with a protagonist who, in lieu of greatness, decides to steal – then play it like she owns it. An elegant, forking finale proves as much.

"Nocturne" is another "Welcome to the Blumhouse" horror movie dropped together with three others on Amazon Prime. More of a B-movie version of "Black Swan" (or the slightly better "Perfection" on Netflix), the high school teen drama really weighs it down. And nothing very original either: someone kills themselves in the opening minutes, the protagonist finds her weird evil book, and life starts going her way (or so she thinks). I must have nodded off because for the life of me I don't recall why its even called "Nocturne." The evil book I guess? Pass on this one and watch the much better "Suspiria" remake instead.

Is Blumhouse dumping into this project the scripts with which it wouldn't have risked in theaters or is the studio limiting itself? Two strikes already, and I'm not excited for the ones that follow.

Nocturne, like its brittle protagonist, is good enough at what it does to make you wish it were a little better.

By the time Nocturne drew to its admittedly effective conclusion I was left with the same impression that’s plagued every other Welcome to the Blumhouse entry so far: this would’ve been better as an hour-long episode of a horror anthology TV series. Sometimes, less is more.

It’s more creepy than scary. But at least, you reckon, this not happening to you.

The script is half-baked and rushed, too much of a collage of other, better movies, and too coy to embrace its trashiness or ever go beyond PG-13 levels of horror.

Contrivances are par for the course in this genre, but Nocturne lacks the stylistic flair to make them fun.

Music school student's suicide leaves opening for piano-playing sisters to compete for a role, one has the dead girl's notebook, plays better but behaves badly and jumps off building.

Twin sisters are accomplished pianists who attend the same performing arts high school. Sibling rivalry turns dark when one of them discovers a mysterious book that changes their lives. This isn’t really a horror film, but a slowly-paced drama with an evil yellow light that causes occasional trauma. This type of haunting specter has been done before and with much more suspense. This version has virtually nothing to recommend it.

This movie is bad. It's really bad. Was it supposed to be a joke? Is there a punchline I'm missing? Because this movie is atrocious.
