 "They say mirrors may break and shatter, but the image remains true. Well, what if you break and shatter before the mirror's image" -Unhinged Reviews Well, well well, looks like we have a bit of a psychological thriller on our hands this month. "Oculus" is one of those movies that keeps the mind active, keeps you wondering what's next and ultimately keeps you thirsting for the next shock to come! We went to watch this movie over the weekend release and we've got to say..the wait was well worth it. Plenty of suspense, plenty of action and some interesting camera work to keep your eyes cemented to everything that is "Oculus". Brothers and sisters, it's time to Unhinge! Okay, before we even get into this one, we've got to just put it out there. "Hey Flanagan, did the 4-11-14 release have anything to do with Sibling day on the 10th?" Just asking;) Either way, we're happy that you put this movie out because there are a few of us that still enjoy watching quality film with our "first friends".

Now, nothing's wrong with taking a breather, but 11yrs? Something serious had to have happened to Tim in his youth to have caused this unjust separation, but what was it? Well, we can tell you that it involves a mirror, but this isn't just any old mirror. It's the mirror of mirrors, a mirror of horrors, it's a mirror that looks back at the beholder. It's a mirror that is capable of ...(lost transmission) Sorry about that folks, we are experiencing some technical difficulties that will not allow us to spoil the movie for you.
