Nocturna (1979)


Directed by Harry Hurwitz
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, Meda Home Entertainment)

Nai Bonet's disco vampire vanity project is a lot of fun. She looks great but is a horrible actress, practically reciting her lines. Even old pros John Carradine and Yvonne De Carlo look uncomfortable, although they get to end the film together in a coffin. It's best just to forget the plot or acting and soak up the New York City disco atmosphere. Much of it takes place at a real disco called "Star Ship", the "t" of which serves as an improvised cross to take care of Count Dracula himself. Disco dancing is given extended screen time and is absolutely hilarious.
