    • Trivia
      Had director Mike Flanagan agreed to film "Oculus" in the "found footage" genre (like Paranormal Activity (2007)), a number of studios would have backed it as early as 2006. However, Flanagan refused.
    • Goofs
      When Kaylie starts recording her video, she says the time is 4:15PM. Two minutes later when Michael calls her, she says "Could you try and call on the hour? It's about seven past."
    • Quotes

      Alan Russell: I've met my demons and they are many. I've seen the devil, and he is me.

    Loved this movie, very atmospheric
    I've just finished watching this movie.

    I'm currently home alone and it's close to 1 in the morning, I'm scared to go to bed because of the mirror in my room and the crushing sense of dread that this movie instilled in me.

    And I couldn't be happier.

    It's been a while since I watched a horror movie alone and wanted something more psychological to watch. This movie did not disappoint.

    It's relatively low on blood and gore, making the parts that do contain blood stand out more. And it constantly wrong foots you about what's going on, at times this makes it hard to track, but it didn't really bother me.

    I took a star off because the ending felt slightly predictable and I would have wanted it to end differently but this leaves it open(ish) for sequels and I'm OK with that.

    The point is that you should watch this movie, totally watch it. Alone in the dark with the sound up
