Oculus is a vampire movie, about a brother and sister who face off against mysterious force that destroyed their childhood. Â Kaylie and Tim (Annalise Basso and Garrett Ryan) when they were young moved into a big new home by their parents (Katee Sackhoff and Rory Cochrane) who get succumbed to dark forces. While their dad spends all his time locked in his home office, their mom went insane. Mom gets dangerous threatening the children, dad killed her in domestic struggle. Tim shot himself dead due to the trauma.
11 years later, Tim (now played by Brenton Thwaites) according to authorities is declared as a healthy adult who is ready to get back to live in the society. Kaylie (Karen Gillan) believes that her parents were controlled by a spirit in the beautiful mirror which her dad had bought from his office and failed to break it before it was sold in the aftermath of the killings. After tracking down the mirror at an estate auction, it was returned to its place in their old house and Kaylie intends to documents its power before destroying it with Tim’s help. The house gets turned into an observational machine, video cameras and computers to recount the history of the evil looking glass.
The past and present start to overlap each other and the adults watch their younger selves enduring horrors they cannot undo. The story’s conclusion is satisfying and predictable.
