Had potential
If you have nothing else to do...
Oracle is horror movie that addresses some sort of slave-era situation, but in modern day. It's not really clear. Its the sort of movie that you watch on a boring Saturday afternoon, maybe when it's rainy.
You don't watch this movie with any other expectation than to be watching a cookie cutter, grade D formula horror movie with a dark skinned black female lead instead of your usual skinny blond dish. You'll wonder how they got Heather Graham to deliver her handful of lines. You'll wonder what the storyline was all about. You'll wonder why you have nothing better to do than to watch movies like this. And then when you're done, you'll feel better about life.
5/10 - not bad, not good, has its moments, sorta.
Decent Story. Bad Execution
I can understand why this project was made. It's a really good story.
The characters are interesting and clear enough in their roles. The two boys were a little lacking until their last scene.
No shockers, it was quite obvious that *spoiler here* Blair is a ghost, but knowing that in advance doesn't ruin anything; we're still left trying to figure everything else out until the end.
My four star rating is for the whole setup of Shay being in the house that night at all. It seems malevolent, an indictment of Kate, the mom, who is *spoiler alert* innocent of anything. So, it was just too weird for Shay to even be in the house.
And why did the driver have to be killed? This isn't even a spoiler, he was so irrelevant, just a nice guy being killed for being a nice guy. A plot device I particularly despise.
