I'm quite excited by this, Reviews have been pretty solid, and I do like a horror film, plus i do like Karen Gillan (swoon) u spelt her name wrong Steve, tut tut haha
i watched this and thought it was pants,and that was the opinion of the 4 of us who seen it, you wait all film for an ending then dont reallly get one, there will no doubt be an oculus 2,3,4, which i will stay clear of
Starts well with an interesting setup, and Gillan is pretty good, but once the premise is established it just seemed to drag on. There's a 20 minute section in the middle where it goes nowhere. Neither I nor my wife liked it, and to be honest, just not scary. While I don't need my movies to be all tied up in a neat bow, the end was anticlimactic and unsatisfying. Very surprised about the positive reviews, 5/10 at best.
I thought it was reasonably good, agree that by setting itself down the paranormal route so early does work against it, if they had pitched it more on the mental/psychological route then changed later on it would of come across better. Reasonably solid throughout so would rate it along the lines of similar fare like Mama, although I preferred the latter.
