SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

christmaspikachu This was a very original horror film in the way that the story unfolds. You don't expect it to go between present and past, but it is very effective. The jump scares and suspense hit you when you least expect it, and the ending will chill you to the bones. A truly brilliant film.

thestophairshop Stupid of course it would kill her by her own devise why not use fire if you were going to die can't escape that .new what was going to happen when she first took the mirror in the room so predictable good acting stupid writer - director rubbish end hate films like that worst horror I've ever seen could been grate unfinished but don't make a number 2 please reviewed straight away because it pissed me off how crap it was

WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, after watching some really good horror films like The Babadook, The Witch, The Conjuring 1 and 2, and a few other, I went into this film with high hopes. The film didn't let me down. The story is told in short flashbacks that connect to the future storyline. The plot is at time very dark and disturbing. The film carefully tells us about the children's experiences with the mirror and how it relates to them now. The atmosphere the film has is haunting and mysterious. The ending is shocking and stunning. The acting is very good. Karen Gillan, Brenton Thwaites, Katee Sackhoff, Rory Cochrane, and Garrett Ryan all perform very well. Annalise Basso, who plays young Kaylie, performs the best in all of her scenes.The pacing is a little slow in the beginning but picks up as the film progresses. The runtime is short which is good.One bad thing about this film is that it is not very scary. I really was never frightened.Pros: Dark and disturbing story, great atmosphere, good ending, good acting, a great performance by Annalise Basso, and a short runtimeCons: Slow pacing in the beginning of the film and the film was not very scaryOverall Rating: 7.1

CinemaClown Smart, scary & unpredictable for the major portion of its runtime, Oculus is a solidly crafted, skilfully executed & surprisingly effective entry in the world of horror that exquisitely handles its two storylines, makes superb use of available resources to establish an uneasy aura that reeks of mystery, dread & a sense of foreboding, and is thrilling, entertaining & more involving than your average horror flick.
