Review of Oculus (2014) by Courtney S — 06 Oct 2014
Speaking from a non horror fans perspective, I thought Oculus was a brilliant horror film. It doesn't have all the answers or details on it's complicated storyline, but it's well acted and creepy enough to make the audience get invested every second.
The story is two young adults living in a state of paranoia years after the death of their parents of a mystical force through a glass window. It's basically awesome because it enters int othe mind of a schizophrenic, coming across weird oddities but rationalizing at every turn.
The brother and sister characters are likable not only for this but how deeply they connect with themselves and their mutual past. The ending was a sad one, one that I didn't know how to feel when seeing.
Which I guess could be the only problem, but otherwise it was an enjoyable ride. No slasher cheese with nightmare-inducing imagery and goosebump worthy gore.
