Oculus


Ten years ago, tragedy struck the Russell family, leaving the lives of teenage siblings Tim and Kaylie forever changed when Tim was convicted of the brutal murder of their parents. Now in his 20s, Tim is newly released from protective custody and only wants to move on with his life; but Kaylie, still haunted by that fateful night, is convinced her parents’ deaths were caused by something else altogether: a supernatural force unleashed through the laser glass, an antique mirror in their childhood home. Kaylie is determined to track down the mirror and prove her brothers innocence. She has learned other similar deaths have befallen previous owners over the past century. With the mysterious entity now back in their hands, Tim and Kaylie soon find their hold on reality shattered by terrifying hallucinations, and realize, too late, that their childhood nightmare is beginning again.

Annabelle


The movie Annabelle just came out on Friday October 3rd, 2014. This movie is a sequel to the movie “The Conjuring” when you first hear about the doll Annabelle. The actual doll exists locked up in an occult museum in Connecticut, visited only by a priest who blesses her twice a month. The movie is about a couple John and Mia and Mia the wife is in love with dolls and her husband John found the perfect gift for her. A rare vintage doll in a pure white wedding dress, it was the last doll to her collection. The excitement that Mia had for Annabelle didn’t last long.
