Oculus (2013)
Written by: Mike Flanagan, Jeff Howard, Jeff Seidman
Directed by: Mike Flanagan
Cast: Karen Gillan (Kaylie Russell), Brenton Thwaites (Tim Russell), Katee Sackhoff (Marie Russell), Rory Cochrane (Alan Russell), Annalise Basso (Young Kaylie), Garrett Ryan (Young Tim), James Lafferty (Michael Dumont)
Mirrors have always given me the creeps. Your refection showing the toll of time and aging, those tried and true horror tropes of your reflection not being tethered to what you do on the other side of the glass, or the mirror itself being a gateway to another world. So it would be a pretty easy sell to make a movie about an evil mirror. It’s even been done a few times before. I just watched another pretty clever mirror entry with David Warner. It was part of the classic Amicus Anthology “From Beyond the Grave”. He comes under the control...

There are no new horror tropes or postmodern twists, but this psychodrama induces an unpleasant atmosphere of fear
Mike Flanagan had been an unfamiliar name to me before seeing this film – but this editor-writer-director is clearly a scary movie auteur to be reckoned with. Oculus is a variation on traditional horror themes, perhaps chiefly John Carpenter's Halloween and Robert Hamer's haunted mirror sequence in the 1945 Ealing Studios portmanteau classic, Dead of Night. It is, in fact, a feature-length development of a short Flanagan made in 2006. Nothing very self-consciously new is being done with these horror tropes, and there are no postmodern twists. It's just that Flanagan (with co-writers Jeff Seidman and Jeff Howard) contrives a piercingly unpleasant atmosphere of fear. Karen Gillan stars as Kaylie, whose brother Tim (Brenton Thwaites) has just been released from a mental facility, deemed to be sane and safe after a horrific episode in their childhood.

Ron falls into the mirror and reviews Oculus, starring Karen Gillan and Katee Sackhoff, a movie that questions all reality...
Eleven years ago, Kaylie (Annalise Basso) and Tim (Garrett Ryan) watched their father Alan (Rory Cochrane) and mother Marie (Katee Sackhoff) slowly go insane. Their father went from secretive to paranoid to murderous, their mother slowly lost her mind, and after their father killed their mother, Tim killed their father. The kids blamed it all on a haunted mirror; Kaylie ends up in the foster system, and Tim goes to the mental hospital. After several years of therapy, Tim (Brenton Thwaites) gets released into society, and his sister Kaylie (Karen Gillan) is ready to help him get back on his feet. She's also ready to get revenge.

The stars of the upcoming new and original horror movie Oculus (review) gathered on the red carpet at the Chinese 6 Theater at the famous “Hollywood & Highland” corner to celebrate its premiere – and Dread Central was there!
Some folks say the poster is a little ambiguous so if you haven’t seen our junket video or read our review yet… here’s the scary skinny:
When teenage Kaylie’s younger brother, Tim, was convicted of the brutal murder of their parents, she made it her life’s mission to prove the law was wrong. She believes their deaths were at the supernatural hands of forces unleashed through an eerie antique in their home, The Lasser Glass. Tracing the provenance of the oversized mirror, adult Kaylie tracks it to an auction house, where she purchases it, and with the help of recently released Tim, she takes history’s reflections head-on.

In the upcoming horror movie Oculus (review), Garret Ryan is relentlessly tormented by Katee Sackhoff. Not a bad gig, right? But let me tell you… this is not the sexy Starbuck "Battlestar Galactica" Sackhoff...
...and it’s certainly not the glamour gal of magazine fashion spreads and red carpet events…
In Oculus the buxom blonde is reduced to a frothing, clawing, lunatic mom who’s out to kill her daughter, Kaylie (Annalise Basso), and son, Tim (Ryan); and she will stop at nothing.
When it comes to life vs. death, Tim must take matters into his own hands. But just because crazy-mom is dead, it doesn’t mean she’s gone!
Read on to see what Garrett has to say about that and more.
Dread Central: We'd love to know all about Oculus -- who do you play, and what's the story?
Garret Ryan: I play the role of young Tim Russell.

Mirrors are sort of fascinating -- how they actually work, not just the ways in which mirrors can act as portals, creatures, and harbingers in fantasy and horror stories -- but if you ask a horror movie aficionado about "that movie about the killer mirror, you'll get a response like Mirrors (1995) or (dear lord) one of those awful "Mirror Mirror" junk piles. (I actually kind of liked the Kiefer Mirrors movie; crazy, I know.)
The egotist's best friend has graced many a great horror moment or sequence, but when you decide to center your movie On a mirror, you better be careful; if your mirror doesn't have some substantial humans to bounce off of... it's just an inanimate object. Fortunately, Mike Flanagan's smoothly satisfying new horror film Oculus has two distinct subplots full of interesting characters, and the ominous mirror doesn't only reflect an interesting pair of terrifying tales...

We had a chance to sit down with director Mike Flanagan to discuss his new flick, Oculus (review), so we jumped at it. Read on for the scoop on the film, where it's going from here, and of course... what kind of terrors await you.
For those that don't know, Oculus was originally released as a short film many years ago so we asked Mike why he had decided to revisit the film and flesh it out further.
"We did Oculus the short back in 2005. I always hoped that it would turn into an anthology series. I wanted to do more shorts, but unfortunately I was never able to scrape together the resources to do so. However, once it went out and hit the festivals for a while, there was an immediate interest in a feature length expansion. The movie is home to mirrors and cameras inside of a room,...

Inspired by writing team Mike Flanagan and Jeff Seidman's award-winning short Oculus: Chapter 3 .

If you've seen the spooky goodness that was Absentia, then you will be happy to hear that FilmDistrict has acquired Intrepid Pictures' horror project Oculus to be directed by Mike Flanagan from a script he co-wrote with Jeff Howard.
Flanagan will direct the feature-length version of his short film with production starting in late summer 2012. An expansion of the award-winning short film by Mike Flanagan and Jeff Seidman, Oculus will tell the story of Tim and Kylie Russel, siblings reunited for the first time since a brutal murder-suicide shattered their family and their childhoods.
Institutionalized for most of his life, Tim has come to terms with the tragedy that befell his parents, but Kylie is convinced that the strange, ornate mirror that hung in her father's study had a supernatural influence over the violent events.

My last two columns in this series profiled the environmental docu-drama The Green Chain and Velcrow Ripper's personalised exploration of activism and spirituality, Fierce Light. Both of these films dealt with serious topics so this time around I thought I should lighten up. Don't get the idea that I'm going to be talking about the indie equivalent of Anne of Green Gables or Disney's Fantasia, though. Neither of the films profiled here are family-friendly and one is definitely not for viewers with weak stomachs.
