Horror Cinema: Nocturne

Nocturne was a unique take on a cursed book horror narrative. What made it special, for me, was that it took place in a specific group of people: competitive musicians. The story’s interplay of the cursed book with the drama of a young classical musician trying to make a name for herself made the movie more interesting than if the curse had happened to an average teenager. The movie also had some good bloody visuals and unexpected spooky, mystical moments.

I’d love to visit the Chelsea Hotel some day! I’m a big fan of lots of its visitors, namely Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell and Patti Smith ❤️

Horror Cinema: Urban Myths

Urban Myths is a series of short horror stories based on urban myths that are loosely woven together to make up the movie. While not every story was my taste, like one about a dentist and a mouth parasite that was gross and good but not my jam, there were enough great ones to make the movie as a whole enjoyable. I particularly liked the paranormal stories. They were gory and fantastic in ways that I could not expect. Highly recommended!
