Oculus
Directed by Mike Flanagan
It’s been ten years since the lives of siblings Tim and Kaylie Russell were shattered and Tim was convicted of murdering their parents. Now released from a mental institution, Tim wants to move on, but his sister has other plans. Kaylie blames their childhood nightmare on the Lasser Glass—an antique mirror with a grisly history— which she intends to destroy by any means possible, even as the mysterious entity continues to cast sinister spells on anyone who gazes into it.
A woman tries to exonerate her brother, who was convicted of murder, by proving that the crime was committed by a supernatural phenomenon.
Cast: Karen Gillan, Brenton Thwaites, Katee Sackhoff, Rory Cochrane, James Lafferty

love it. love it. even for the 5th time
love love love, time trip - another flanagan hit. amazeballs
One of my faves by far. The constant questioning of reality is super disturbing. Remains with me a few days each time I watch, making me question my own reality. Clever concept and well excuted. My only critic would be the use of CGI. Would have much preferred to see the spirits using practical effects. You cant win them all I guess
Great movie.
One of the best psychological horrors I've seen, palpable tension, a creative mind bending story that blends flashbacks and plays with your mind, not a super scary film but one that keeps you on edge till the very end
