(Spoilers below for the movie Oculus, a 2013 horror movie directed by Mike Flanagan).
Ohhh I absolutely LOVE tragedies where the characters are doomed from the start and don’t know it. I love it when a character is mostly very smart, and they have an elaborate plan on how to defeat the Big Evil Thing and you almost believe they can do it. But then the ending rolls around and you realize that maybe they would have had a better chance at survival if they had done nothing at all. Which was never going to happen, because that’s goes against everything that character believes in. Ughhh it’s so gut-wrenching, I love it
