    just watched oculus due to this recommendation, wild fucking ride. very enjoyable and unique. was glad to not see another supernatural formulaic jump-scare based ‘horror’ movie. has its flaws, but i recommend it to others.

      Huzzah!

      Edit:
      There are other recommendations that come from the same director, from great to OK:

      • The haunting of Hill House
      • Doctor Sleep
      • Midnight Mass
      • Ouija: Origin of Evil
      • Before I wake

        I think I’m the only person who liked Midnight Mass more than Haunting of Hill House (which I still love for the record).

          My feeling is that with every new movie Mike Flanagan went further and further away from Horror into Drama.

          Midnight Mass is probably his strongest drama and the most mature production of all his work. That said, it is a clear departure from horror compared with previous installments.

          That’s why it is between Doctor Sleep and Ouija: OoE, not because of quality but due to the level of horror in it.
