Both me and my significant other found absolutely nothing about it scary, and were very underwhelmed by it all (it had a lot of cool shots and such though).
Different strokes for different folks.
It's been a while but I do remember enjoying Oculus[1] and The Blackcoat's Daughter[2]. My gf got so scared watching Session 9[3] that we had to sit there with the lights on for a while afterwards, though I haven't seen it in over a decade so maybe my memories of it are a bit rose-tinted.
The thing about the future is that it has a funny way of proving you wrong.
I think the vision outlined above is entirely possible. An integrated microphone with surround sound headphones was going to change gamedev forever. Who knows how that would bleed into other types of scenarios than gaming?
I'd watch a movie with someone using an Oculus. It'd be a fun experience.
