Oculus (2013)
Directed by Mike
Flanagan this film stars Karen Gillan, Brenton Thwaites, Rory
Cochrane and Katee Sackhoff. Ten years after the events we wonder if
a haunted mirror or human evil were the reason for the destruction of
a family as two children now grown up revisit the murder/suicide of
their parents.
There is a lot to like
about this film which is filled with the psychological over the gory
or cheap shocks and does an amazing job of mixing two time periods
without ever being confusing. Where the film is a little weaker is
relying on the usual cliché of blurring the line between mental
illness and the super natural. The direction is excellent and this is
a really creepy film.
4/5
