By Jaskee Hickman

Sydney Sweeney stars in NOCTURNE

The premise of Nocturne is one that will draw your interest although you’ll likely find it familiar. As someone who’s seen tons of movies, the familiarity wouldn’t be something that would bother me all that much as long as it’s done well and is an honest attempt at artistic creativity.
