I just watched the scariest movie ever.

[CheshireGrin]

Oculus.

Even during the day, I should not have watched it home alone. OMG.

[oliviapope]

I won't watch it, but what's it about?

[knx9211]

I've wanted to watch it because I love Karen Gillan, but I don't watch scary movies anymore. I like to sleep.

[SomeNights]

I've heard that one is terrifying. My husband is friends with the director (his sister and the director were high school sweethearts) so he really wanted me to watch it with him, but I really don't like scary movies. It looked good though!

[CheshireGrin]

I love scary movies, but I feel like so many of them have gotten lazy these days. Too much torture porn and not enough genuine fear. HOLY SHIT this one is scary. That is the best endorsement I can give it.

Seriously though. If you like scary movies, watch it.

[Deleted]

I will have to add this to my Halloween movie viewing party. Scarier the better!

[spitforspat]

I'm already afraid of seeing something in the mirror. I didn't need mirrors to be scarier!

[CheshireGrin]

Also, H will not be home for another hour and a half.

I may not survive.

[Deleted]

Its not on Amazon prime

[underwaterrhymes]

I don't like torture porn at all.

I love campy horror movies like Cabin in the Woods and Scream and movies like The Descent that couldn't really happen.

What do you predict my feelings on this one will be?

Brother and sister now grown up, fighting evil thing from their childhood. Story of what happened back then unfolds simultaneously with present-day story. It all revolves around a haunted mirror.

[mrsjuleshs]

It is definitely one trippy movie. DD & I saw it in the theater and loved it.

It is not campy or funny at all. It is terrifying. There is some gore, but it is not gratuitous. There's a lot of not knowing what is real or not. Does that help?

I just read the description.

This movie would scare the crap out of me.

[underwaterrhymes]

ETA - Although I did like the movie Event Horizon, which also scared the crap out of me. The concept of hallucinations sounds quite similar, although the premise is very different.

[lexxasaurus]

I'm always looking for good scary movies, I'm going to have to rent this on Amazon!

[bania]

Yes I loved it!!! I love scary (non- torture style) movies. This was a good one. I put it up there with Insidious.

[mrsjuleshs]

They are doing a prequel to the movie the Conjuring coming out late this year/early next year. It focuses on the doll Annabelle. Looks REALLY good.

And if anyone has been thinking about seeing As Above So Below, save your money. It is super slow in the beginning and the camera shake made me sick to my stomach. The last 1/3 of it is pretty good/scary but not worth the money.

[BeagleMama]

Nope. Nope. Nope.

I watched Paranormal Activity on Halloween last year and had nightmares for a week. I'm a lightweight.

Have you seen Lyle online? Totally stumbled across it randomly but it is creepy scary (not gore scary) and good. Streams free and is short.

Better than Insidious, IMO. I liked that one but thought it was also kind of weird. 

[mrsrumfkin]

Starting this right now.

Oh man I loved it. It was confusing (although not half as confusing as the sequel). I still randomly play the Tiny Tim song to annoy DH.

[CheshireGrin]

Another one I've liked recently is The Awakening. It's a British film. More creepy than scary, but very well done.

The end pissed me off LOL

I can see that. But I'm not sure anything else would have been better. Without posting spoilers, I think the fact that the ending was upsetting is kind of a testament to how good it was.

[mrsjuleshs]

Not sure if it's still on there but Haunter on Netflix was pretty good.

[Daria Morgandorffer]

IT IS SO GOOD! I am hugely critical of scary movies and that one creeped me the FUCK OUT. It was an excellent storyline as well.

I saw this one listed but hadn't decided if it sounded worth checking out. Good to know!

I came in to say this. I was on board with liking it but the ending was so stupid.

Okay, so came back to say I just watched this. It's excellently done. I loved the overlapping stories, and it wasn't confusing, which is a tricky problem to overcome. And I loved the ending. I actually prefer movies that don't have a happy ending. I'm a huge horror buff and this has definitely earned a spot on my top 10. Thanks for recommending, CheshireGrin!
