फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
Far more than a tale of supernatural horror, "Oculus" explores the fundamental terror of not being able to trust one's own mind. Newly released from mental institution incarceration, a young man is swept along by his sister to confront the demon in the mirror to shattering results. Too often, an evil force is described as unbeatable, and then easily beat. Not so here...
As ends go, this one goes dark-perhaps to realism within the rules of the world, but unsatisfying to those wishing for any kind of redeeming factor.
Other points dissatisfy, such as the amount of dialogue the actors have to say as quickly as they can, particularly Kaylie. And then Kaylie's odd face-framing bangs and her extension ponytail.
Overall though, a terrifying experience. If you'd like to watch a movie by this director Mike Flanagan that does balance a sense of consequence as well as victory, watch "Doctor Sleep" based on Stephen King's sequel his classic story The Shining.

This is a classic ghost story.
I won't spoil anything, but for a haunted mirror movie, I found it VERY effective.
There are only really 6 people in the film. The parents, and the children at 2 different ages. The film is not really linear, and it took me a while to get the flow of the constant changing from today and yesterday. Once I got it, I found it very clever.
What impressed me the most, however, is that there is hardly any blood, no nudity, no profanity, no sex, no gore and it scared the crap out of me!
No, it doesn't reinvent the genre (can you even really do that with the haunted mirror genre?), but it is a well crafted, well acted movie that really kept my interest all the way through.
The young girl was especially effective.
The film starts off slow and methodical and really hits its stride about the half way mark.
We need more films like this. Smart, clever "little" films - a few characters, a few props and lots of chills and thrills.
Please see this!
8/10

This film was fantastic. I was creeped out the entire time, right from the introduction of the mirror. There has always been something slightly disconcerting about staring into a mirror at night, half expecting someone to jump out from over your shoulder. This film captured the essence of this perfectly. There was not a lot of action, not much blood or violence, but just enough to scare the audience. Just when you think that you have the mirror figured out, something else comes around to make you think otherwise. It makes you wonder if the characters are just crazy, that none of the film is actually real. You will never know exactly what is going on. That is what made it such a well done horror film, backed up by great acting performances from both adults and children. If you enjoy horror films as I do, go to see this film, you will not be disappointed!
This was really not that bad for a horror movie. The whole mirror monster sort of thing has been done before but what made this movie refreshing to me was the complete mind trip that was going on throughout the movie. I spent more than like 3/4ths of the movie utterly confused yet it made sense by the end. It was all over the place but slowly, I was able to piece things together. I personally thought it had the right amount of horror that it was actually able to make me jump at some parts without being too cringe worthy like most horror films are. Also, I was impressed with what was done despite the simplicity of the film. Tons of thrills, tons of fun. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
Convincing horror effortlessly weaves together past, present, truth, & perception. Makes you question what you're witnessing while remaining completely believable. Twisted & unsettling, it's also cinematic proof redheads are crazy.
