Mirror of misfortune

Oculus- a underrated horror jem that more people should watch.

It is spooky, thrilling, chilling, horrorfying, terrorfying, twisting, suspenseful, and overall a great horror film.

The plot: Haunted by the violent demise of their parents 10 years earlier, adult siblings Kaylie (Karen Gillan) and Tim (Brenton Thwaites) are now struggling to rebuild their relationship. Kaylie suspects that their antique mirror, known as the Lasser Glass, is behind the tragedy. The seemingly harmless reflections contain a malevolent, supernatural force that infects the mind of anyone who gazes into it. As Kaylie gets closer to the truth, the siblings become caught in the mirror's evil spell.

A highly reecordmend horror film.

I thought Genisys was appalling and didn’t have particularly high hopes for this, so I was pleasantly surprised that this was actually pretty decent. Of course it’s not a patch on T1 & 2 but it’s miles better than the other sequels. The action is very satisfying and the film is much more adult, taking itself seriously and dialling down the one liners. The three leading ladies were all good in vastly different ways and I liked the Mexico setting. Sadly the weakest link was actually big Arnie (didn’t quite by him as retired terminator turned drapes salesman called Carl). It’s not perfect but it’s certainly a fun watch and largely atones for the sins of the other sequels.
