Ominous

About This Movie

Ominous (2015) dives into the murky waters of grief and the lengths one might go to for love. It starts off strong with a palpable sense of loss, and you can feel the weight of Michael and Rachel's tragedy. The pacing, particularly in the first half, builds tension effectively, creating an unsettling atmosphere as they grapple with their son's death. The stranger's offer introduces an eerie turn, and the film does a decent job with its practical effects, giving a tangible feel to the supernatural elements. The performances, especially from the lead couple, convey a raw desperation that pulls you in. What stands out here is how it explores the darker side of resurrection—what if coming back isn't what you expect? It's haunting in its implications.
