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

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.
