Since I loved Gerald's Game, I thought I would check out some of Flanagan's other films. Oculus isn't anywhere near as good. This is a by-the-numbers horror movie. One that has no ambition to raise its head above the genre's comfort zones and test its audience. I didn't like not knowing what was real or not in the end, and the film is just a bit too slow and drawn out for my liking. Besides, those ghosts or demons (or whatever they are) are not scary. I'm also just surprised that any mirror has lasted 400 years without being smashed. Especially when it has changed hands so much. If it was in one place (a country manor since the 1600s) I would buy it. But being moved around so much with many different owners it's unbelievable for it to not have been broken. D+

 Re: Oculus Yeah we disagree on his films so far. Something like this would be my ranking:
Oculus - A
Ouija: Origin of Evil - A-
Hush - B+
Absentia - B/B+
Gerald's Game - B-
Before I Wake - B-

Re: Oculus Ouija: Origin of Evil is my favorite by him. It is a fun, eerie movie. Not great, but good. The young girls deliver very strong performances.

Re: Oculus This is a bit of a snoozer.
