Review of Oculus (2014) by Terrible_Lizard — 11 Apr 2014

This is scary, well acted, and well written. My only gripe is that it probably should have been a standard 90-95 minute run time instead of 110 or so as it is. ***Minor spoilers*** This movie has convincing and disturbing portrayals of family violence, anger, discord and fear.

You may get upset if you've experienced these things in your own life because these are very accurate depictions of children in fear of their own parents. Otherwise the scares are there and this is a seriously malevolent entity that destroys lives at its leisure.

The pace is deliberate, the gore is judicious, and the ending banishes all hope of happiness.
