Actual vote: 8/10. It needed boosting.
1 point off - I only give 10/10 to films that I would buy and keep on the shelf. Not just hire and give back. There are not many of these.
1 point off - I personally had gripes about the plot, but that's just me and my tastes. If it had been me, I would have done a couple of things differently. But hey, it wasn't me.
Very good film.
For Doctor Who fans - you have the impossibly pretty Karen Gillan (slightly less charming than usual due to having an American rather than her native scots accent). She is a little monochromatic, as always. But she plays with force, as always.
For BSG fans - you have the wonderful Katee Sackhoff. This is one of the better performances of her career. Very pithy and convincing.
And beyond that... Can't say a *single* thing about the details without ticking the Spoiler box.
So here we go with keywords.
Gripping. Creepy. Unorthodox. Fairytale-like in some ways. Sci-Fi like in others. Confusing (in a good way). Tricky.
And scary, definitely... but overall I would say more gripping than scary.
Very highly recommend Oculus.
