October 8th: Oculus

Early Mike Flanagan flick that doesn't reinvent the wheel but does provide a very entertaining 90 minutes of horror.
Great performances from all three principal actors (Karen Gillan, Katee Sackhoff and Brenton Thwaites). I also was impressed by the visual tricks Flanagan used to create the mindbending turns with the evil mirror that helped to make the audience feel the sense of confusion the characters were going through.
Going back a re-watching this movie really does show that Flanagan has a knack for integrating themes of mental illness, grief and family dysfunction into the horror genre.

I can't believe WWE produced this movie.

Disagree. Oculus was much better than Mirrors starting with the storyline and engagement. Not to mention Keifer Sutherland should never have been tapped to act in a horror movie. Drained whatever life that was left out of that movie. No rewatch value at all.

Watching this tonight…forgot Flanagan was behind it. Thank you.

I think I dismissed it with the quickness when it first dropped after finding out WWE Studios helped produce it. :mjlol:

After all the praise I’m seeing for it, it’s without a doubt the best film they’ve been involved with. :wow:

More thriller than horror but a decent watch I'd Inheritance


There also a 15-minute horror short called Culpable

Both in HBOMax

I finished V/H/S 94 and I pretty much agree with what everyone already said. The practical effects on the 1st two movies are great.

The Suprise is my favorite story from 94. It starts off with a Sid from Toy Story creation then turns into a dark take on Mega Man. When the hard rock started playing it went FPS mode like the movie version of DOOM.
