Critics Consensus

Nocturne's thought-provoking themes find themselves at odds with its genre ingredients, resulting in a mild blend that isn't quite pulpy enough.

Kashgar A

A solid horror movie. Well acted, goes the way you kinda hope it will - and if that makes it predictable, then so be it. I'm siding with the critics on this one rather than the audience's consensus. A good movie

Gianmarco R

Horror with a beginning and also some nice implications even if predictable but it has an embarrassing plot unfolding, it is very inconclusive and the film seems to go on as if by inertia towards the predictable ending without ever really engaging in the scenes, but if you watch the film with extreme superficiality and without giving too much attention to anything it is likely that it can also surprise since it still entertains enough

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Interesting at first and less so later, and absolutely unsatisfying at the end. So there you go.

Has some nice atmosphere and suspense at the beginning, but just doesn't go anywhere.

Still, the way this story unfolds, and how it unpeels its protagonist into a sexually deflowered, master musician is too predictable to be scary, despite a few striking tableaux involving a psychedelic.

Rated: C

Empire Magazine

If it's psychological horror you love, Nocturne will be music to your ears. If not super-scary, Quirke's film is an accomplished, uncomfortable tour de force.

Rated: 4/5

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

I found it to be a little convoluted at times, but it recovers with some eye-catching cinematic moments.

The Beat

Thematically, [filmmaker Zu] Quirk and her production team have created a very pleasingly atmospheric film with Nocturne.

Nocturne nonetheless very much plays as a YA horror flick, a kind of baby's-first-Faustian-bargain.
