'Oculus': I want my two hours back . . .

I felt like I was sitting through 'The Others' with blood. And, not that much blood either. Seems since 'The Blair Witch' folks have been getting away with small casts, small sets, and trying to build drama, tension, and dread instead of making a real movie. This film almost has a real budget but relies on the new formula of drama and dread with the added attraction of a splash of blood. I was expecting more but my sixty years of movie-going was deceived by the trailer, once again. (I believe trailer editors are probably the most underpaid folks in Hweed.)

Anyway, there's this damned mirror that kills people wherever it hangs and two of the most recent victims of tragedy attempt to record the actions of the mirror to prove that it is evil. Yeah, yeah, yeah, as Bundy would say. A lot of time and inter-cut flashbacks litter the screen for a not-so-horrifc time.

You are better off revisiting your Sex Pistols anthology than this.
