Jamie (Nadine Lustre), torn between family and a mysterious curse, returns home to confront the haunting kumakatok, facing deadly consequences.
Despite all of this high production values, I felt a problem in the storytelling [...]. In spite of the fact that the movie ran only for 1 hour and 20 minutes, it felt much longer than that. (6/10)
”Kahit may maganda kang masabi tungkol sa pelikulang ito, balewala lahat ng iyon dahil ang pinaka-nganibabaw talaga dito ay ang panget nilang script. Nagtapon lang sila ng potensyal sa kawalan. (0.2/5)
”‘Nokturno’ hooked me. It made me concerned for the characters and thrilled every time a knock was heard. However, all that excitement fizzled out when they failed to stick the landing. (2.5/5)
”If you enjoy watching nonsense, give Nokturno a shot. Otherwise it's a disappointing effort. (2/5)
”The movie is maybe atmospheric but it was not scary, it was dull and boring! Lastly I don't like how Nadine's character was written, It's frustrating! (2/5)
”Nokturno is silly, boring and unimpressive. The characters have no arc or nuance and the storyline is flat and boring. There are no scares and the horror elements are stale and repetitive. (1.5/5)
”For a film that I've waited for more than a year, this is not worth it. A dull and forgettable horror flick with a heroine with brains the size of a pea. (1.5/5)
”There's a lot of stuff in here that feels like an attempt at doing Kiyoshi Kurosawa. And it's exhausting to watch, because it just reminds you of much better movies that actually thought out the nature of their curses. (1/5)
