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.

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.

When I was searching for a horror movie and saw Heather Graham and Universal Pictures had worked on this movie and teamed up, I expected they would create a great movie. This is not a great movie. Maybe if my expectations were very low it would be somewhat enjoyable but I don't think so. This was a weak film and probably why it wasn't released in the movie theaters. I feel the writers were trying to be too socially relevant and not focused enough on making a great movie. "Get Out" was a similar genre but so much better done. In this movie there were no real unexpected twists. There were racists and ghosts and black people treated very wrong who didn't deserve it. That is not enough to carry a film. Maybe if we knew some of the revelations at the end during the film it would have been better.

There was very little character development. I know the main actress liked Civil war history and she couldn't find a job. I knew Heather Graham had a sick mom. But who they were and what they stood for and why was not developed at all and that would have added. There were a lot of nonsensical plot issues that distracted as well. Overall I would say watch it if you don't expect anything. The acting isn't terrible. But if you want to watch a good movie you will likely be disappointed

Maybe it would make more sense in 1864.
