Release date:

'Nocturne' comes in the second set of films under 'Welcome to Blumhouse' that are premiering in 2020, on October 13, along with the fourth film 'Evil Eye'. The latter four films will launch in 2021.

Plot:

According to its official synopsis by Prime Video, "Inside the halls of an elite arts academy, a timid music student begins to outshine her more accomplished and outgoing twin sister when she discovers a mysterious notebook belonging to a recently deceased classmate." As for the program 'Welcome to Blumhouse', the synopsis reveals it will be "a program of eight unsettling, genre movies produced by Jason Blum's Blumhouse Television and Amazon Studios. Sharing the spine-tingling suspense that's a Blumhouse signature, each film presents a distinctive vision and unique perspective on common themes centered around family and love as redemptive or destructive forces."
