     • Oculus is an ambitious horror film that doesn't quite reach its potential. While it has a strong cast... the story just feels like it's spinning its wheels, trying to find the traction it needs to propel forward.

   Is Oculus a good horror movie?

   • Oculus uses traditional filmmaking techniques to tell a story that is firmly rooted in the supernatural, but like the best supernatural horror, it also employs a psychological aspect that keeps both the characters and the viewers off-balance. Oculus also gives you characters to care about – another rarity in too much modern genre fare.

   Is 'Oculus' a spook movie?

   Is 'Oculus' better than 'present day'?

   • The "present day" material in "Oculus" is much more effective, thanks largely to a game performance from Gillan. She renders Kaylie as a driven woman on the edge of sanity herself. When she growls at the mirror, "You must be hungry," one can see the B-movie glory that "Oculus" could have been.

   Reviews. Oculus. Brian Tallerico April 11, 2014. Tweet. Oculus. Now streaming on: Powered by JustWatch. Add Mike Flanagan's "Oculus" to the horror subgenre of supernatural item movies. This time it's not a haunted doll or magical box but a deadly mirror with the power to compel people to commit violent acts.
