Candi’s Corner: Interview w/ Producers & Director of OCULUS
On Mirrors, Movie Making, and Jem: Interview With The Producers and Director/Writer of “Oculus” By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor Candace Cordelia Smith (Candi’s Corner) Call me weird, odd, or sick, but I love horror movies. The less gory, the better. I don’t know when this love first began, but you can count on me to watch “The Gate” if it’s ever on television and Lord knows that I’m waiting with bated breath for the next installment of American Horror Story. There’s just something invigorating, frightening, and psychologically remarkable about wanting to avoid all windows every night for a month after watching “The Strangers”. “Oculus”, out in theaters now, is…

Philadelphia Film Festival NEBRASKA (#PFF22)
