About the Film: Directed by Kimberly Peirce and starring Chloe Grace Moretz ( Kick ass ), Julianne 

Moore, and Gabriella Wilde ( The Three Musketeers ). This is an obvious remake of the Stephen King Film 

starring Sissy Spacek. The story follows A young girl captive in her mothers overly religious induced world 

as she learns she has special abilities which could be a blessing or a curse. In this film adaptation Carrie is 

flipped to be seen as a typical young woman who faces peer pressure and rebels against her religious 

mother playing less of a victim to society and more of a rebellious teenager willing to make the changes to fit 

in today's society. Her power strengthens throughout the film as steers further and further away from her 

mother's grasp.

Oculus

About the Film: Oculus is a horror/ supernatural film directed by Mike Flanagan. It stars Karen Gillan, 

Brenton Thwaites and one of my favorite scream queens Katee Sackhoff ( Halloween: Resurrection ). The 

main plot centers around a woman who is trying to exonerate her brother of murder trying to prove the 

crime 

was committed by a supernatural force. It is believed a family mirror holds an evil entity and this entity plays 

tricks on the characters and audience as to what is reality and what is not. They always say "Seeing is 

believing" or is it?

Oculus is in theaters now as of April 11, 2014

Ratings: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2388715/ 

IMDB: 7.1 user rating

Rotten Tomatoes: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/oculus/

Tomatometer: 72% Liked

Audience: 55% Liked

My Opinion: I've seen the previews not the film. Based on what I have seen the film comes across as 

cliche` and tired but reviews are telling me to give it a shot. 

Theater/ Rentable/ Trash: My heart tells me this is a rentable flick not something to spend 9 bucks on. 

Though it isn't trash it doesn't seem like a theater gem like "Insidious". Although I wouldn't be upset to watch this one in theaters with friends.
