    Storyline

    Edit
    • 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.

    The best midnight madness movie EVER!
    As good as the Shining was something I said to all around me as soon as the picture ended.

    Brilliantly conceived and executed. Fast paced action + beautifully shot + not too gory + a cast of characters you really cared about all combined to make this the best experience of jumping and screaming and laughing I've seen from a bunch of experienced horror show aficionados I have ever seen.

    Good performances from all including the kids. Very unpredictable and wholly inventive storyline. Even the cleverest plots and safeguards will not defeat the pure evil of the Oculus.

    Very good effort from some brilliant and talented people.
