Review of Oculus (2014) by Shayne J — 25 Aug 2014
I love horror movies. But more so, I love horror movies that are original and bring something different to the table. "Oculus" is about a haunted mirror than really messes up a family. Ok, nothing original there.
Seen 100's of movies about something being haunted. But, what separates this is how the story is told. It tells the story of the mirror haunting a family, while also showing the kids grown up trying to prove the mirror is truly haunted.
It blends them together for a story that jumps back and forth from the past to the present, and towards the end mixes them together. Once the it gets mixed up I started to not care, but I LOVED the ending.
In horror movies, the ending is everything. This movie knows that, and does a great job with it. Tired of "found footage" horror movies(that's all that seems to be out there) or other crap, then check this out.
This is a good quality horror movie, that is very much worth checking out.
