Nocturne isn’t just the best entry in the “Welcome to the Blumhouse” series, it’s one of the best Blumhouse movies in years. - 80
The Guardian
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. - 80
Empire
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. - 63
ReelViews
First-time feature writer/director Zu Quirke does a good job setting things up and sticking the landing, but her approach to the horror elements is generic at best. - 55
Slashfilm
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. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
It’s not quite enough to prevent this B-grade rendition from feeling rather familiar and unsuspenseful, even if stars Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria) and Madison Iseman (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) provide a decent level of tension throughout. - 50
IndieWire
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. - 50
Arizona Republic
It’s more creepy than scary. But at least, you reckon, this not happening to you.
