OCULUS is one of the many films that wowed everyone at last year’s Toronto Film Festival, and a little later this year the rest of us will be able to take a look at what all the fuss is about. Doctor Who star Karen Gillan leads in this horror from co-writer and director Mike Flanagan (ABSENTIA), as a woman who tries to get her brother off the hook for murder, by proving that the crime was committed by a supernatural phenomenon.
Here’s the full synopsis.
Ten years ago, tragedy struck the Russell family, leaving the lives of teenage siblings Tim and Kaylie forever changed when Tim was convicted of the brutal murder of their parents. Now in his 20s, Tim is newly released from protective custody and only wants to move on with his life; but Kaylie, still haunted by that fateful night, is convinced her parents’ deaths were caused by something else altogether: a malevolent supernatural force unleashed through the Lasser Glass, an antique mirror in their childhood home. Determined to prove Tim’s innocence, Kaylie tracks down the mirror, only to learn similar deaths have befallen previous owners over the past century. With the mysterious entity now back in their hands, Tim and Kaylie soon find their hold on reality shattered by terrifying hallucinations, and realize, too late, that their childhood nightmare is beginning again…
The film opens in the US on the 11th April, and in the UK a little later, on the 13th June. Check out the new trailer for the film, which has just dropped.
