Oculus (2013)
enjoyed it!
I thought this movie was really good! it was suspenseful, with a good amount of jump scares. the backstory with the parents was really well done; it was horrifyingly interesting. i personally loved the switching between the past and present during the movie, i think it represented how kaylie and tim's past will never leave them, and it will follow them until their dying day (spoiler alert: it did for kaylie).
i'll admit, there were a few plot holes in the movie that could've been fixed, but overall i think it was a job well done. it's not your typical horror movie, but i think it's uniqueness is part of what made it so good. i liked how this movie was able to creep me out, scare me, AND pull at my heartstrings all at the same time. i usually spend horror movies screaming at the screen because the protagonists are idiots, but in oculus i was rooting for them the whole time, and the ending really affected me. there were tears. definitely would recommend!

dear god
Please please please DO NOT watch this movie. i don't think i will ever recover. first of all, it took the ENTIRE movie to get to the action. all it was was her "visions" for the first hour, and the last 15 minutes or so was actually action. and the action wasn't even all that great. there was absolutely no chemistry between any of the characters, and half of the subplots made no sense and no contribution to the movie.
also, the ending....DISTURBING. that horrific scene (if you've watched it you'll know which one i'm talking about) absolutely did not need to go on for that long. it was awful. all and all it was a really boring movie that made no sense and i wouldn't even have finished if i didn't know there was an unexpected "twist". please. save your time and spare yourself.
