Domina Nocturna (2021)

Domina Nocturna: Directed by Larissa Anzoategui. With Larissa Anzoategui, Nathália Borioli, Renata Cáceres, Mariane Lopes. Haunted by the darkness as she wanders through a dead city, our young, doomed heroine Angelique is stricken with hallucinatory visions as she learns the story of a cruel and loveless vampiress. Her visions are of the bizarre rituals that imprison a group of Satanic worshippers in a cycle of dying passion, and who seek to survive beyond the grave. In Angelique’s ears, only the music of the gothic atmosphere flows to augment her quest into the horror and the passion of the dead – and no voice can rise above it. A haunting, enigmatic tribute to the classic Euro-Horror works of Jean Rollin and Jess Franco. Brazilian filmmaker Larissa Anzoategui created a film inspired by authors Lord Byron and the Brazilian Álvares de Azevedo and Anzoategui’s passion for expressionist aesthetics. The cast and crew was composed completely of women under the direction of Larissa Anzoategui (“Astaroth”) in her sophomore film.

“When I sat down to watch this 2021 movie titled u0026quot;Domina Nocturnau0026quot; I was expecting to be watching a horror movie, especially so since the movie was labeled as a horror movie here on IMDb.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut as it turned out, I was in for an avantgarde artsy gothic movie that proved to be anything but interesting. In fact, I only managed to endure 25 minutes of the ordeal, then I was ready to pluck my eyes out and stuff my ears with cotton.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie had absolutely nothing alluring or interesting to offer in terms of a properly interesting and captivating storyline. It felt like a random tirade of randomly filmed sequences that writer Ramiro Giroldo and director Larissa Anzoategui just came up with and put together in no sequenced order to make a movie. And it didnu0026#39;t help that the movie had no dialogue, and there was just one song played after another, back to back.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe 25 minutes I endure were painstakingly slow paced and uneventful, and it just utterly made me give up on the movie and have zero interest in continuing on, because nothing appealed to the in u0026quot;Domina Nocturnau0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is definitely one of the most boring movies I have stumbled upon. And I can in all honesty say that I am not returning to give this movie a second chance, because I just simply have absolutely no interest in the utter lack of a coherent and entertaining storyline that was u0026quot;Domina Nocturnau0026quot;. And I canu0026#39;t recommend that you waste your time, money or effort on this movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of u0026quot;Domina Nocturnau0026quot; lands on a mere one out of ten stars. This was truly an unfathomably boring excuse of a movie.”
