Opinions:
“Nightshade begins out as a easy police drama, however it’s a far more bold proposal. Sadly, not all of his concepts are properly executed. Nonetheless, the plot is intriguing and presents a extremely sudden twist that’s the greatest argument in its favor.” 6/10 tenth Circle
“Nightshade tried to take an previous story and mold it into one thing new and authentic however, in the long run, the story by no means managed to catch our consideration. That is additionally largely as a result of one-dimensional characters that made it unimaginable to care about something that was taking place on display.” Horror Info
“Co-writer/director Landon Williams throws in some curveballs, tries to throw the viewers off the scent and I’ll admit that he did have me questioning my assumptions about the place Nightshade was headed, with a superb play on the shrink/affected person dynamic that nearly, virtually, had me fooled. Visually Nightshade seems to be gorgeous…” Nerdly
“Darkish and saturated whereas harboring a nanosecond cameo by Jason Patric and supporting work from Dina Meyer (she simply will get sexier with age) […] Search for a twist you don’t fairly see coming and loads of fuzz cliches (the frazzled companion battling demons, the indignant captain, the token, odd buddy cop couple). In reality, Nightshade‘s end result doesn’t bode properly and that is likely to be its strongest asset.” ★★½ Views on Movie
