The twenty-one year-old Timothy "Tim" Allen Russell (Brenton Thwaites) is discharged from a mental institution by his psychiatric Dr. Shawn Graham (Miguel Sandoval) completely healed from a childhood trauma. His sister Kaylie (Karen Gillan) welcomes him in the parking area and brings him home. Then she tells that they need to destroy an ancient mirror that she has just bought in an auction.
The reluctant Tim follows his sister and has fragmented recollections from his childhood, when his mother Marie (Katee Sackhoff) buys a mirror for the home office of his father Alan (Rory Cochrane). Kaylie (Annalise Basso) and Tim (Garrett Ryan) see a woman with their father in his office and the behaviors of Alan and Marie change, ending in a family tragedy. Kaylie blames the mirror and now she wants to destroy it with Tim. Will they succeed?
"Oculus" is a horror movie with a story of madness and possession that deserved to be better written. The plot in the past with the Allen Russell family is interesting, but the story in the present days should have been better written. Kaylie knows how dangerous the indestructible mirror is and her explanations of the reason for destroying the mirror with Tim does not convince. My vote is six.
