Oculus
review by

*****
Mirror scare movie ‘Oculus’ is a cleverly crafted by Director
Mike Flanagan, less horror and more brain storming session to register the
presence of evil will give you a psychological turbulence rather than scare
you.
Brenton Thwaites as Tim Russell is out form a mental asylum
for being framed for his father Rory Cochrane as Alan Russell murder, as he had
witnessed his mother Katee Sackhoff as Marie Russell being brutally killed by
his father. Karen Gillan as Kaylie Russell Tim’s sister believes that the
antique mirror in their house is possessed by evil power.
As she digs into the past owners of the mirror, she unearths
some facts as to her horror there is a series of mysterious killing as behind whoever
had the mirror.Kaylie tries to convince her brother to witness the incarcerate
of the evil on a live setup of cameras. Series of past and present references occur
while they have a sting operation on the mirror. In the mayhem Kaylie is killed.
How and why you have to watch the movie for an inexplicable truth which unveils
in the end. See it if horror and mystery are your forte.
