Critiques:
“Nightshade begins out as a easy police drama, however it’s a rather more bold proposal. Sadly, not all of his concepts are effectively executed. Nonetheless, the plot is intriguing and presents a extremely surprising twist that’s the finest argument in its favor.” 6/10 tenth Circle
“Nightshade tried to take an previous story and mold it into one thing new and unique however, in the long run, the story by no means managed to catch our consideration. That is additionally largely because of the one-dimensional characters that made it inconceivable to care about something that was taking place on display.” Horror Details
“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 just about, nearly, had me fooled. Visually Nightshade seems beautiful…” 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 associate battling demons, the offended captain, the token, odd buddy cop couple). In reality, Nightshade‘s end result doesn’t bode effectively and that is perhaps its strongest asset.” ★★½ Views on Movie
