3.5 stars out of 4 -- OCULUS is one of the more elegant scary movies in recent memory.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Oculus is about one adjustment away from being a superior thriller.

[W]riter-director Mike Flanagan is smart enough to create some real dramatic tension between his mutually traumatized protagonists...
A.V. Club
Rating: 8.2/10 --
Praised on the festival circuit, it's got what it takes to succeed outside of that rarefied atmosphere.

Horror fans shouldn't miss Oculus; films as creepy as this one don't come along too often.

Way Too Indie
Ultimately, though, it is the characters that count, and Flanagan gives emotional resonance to the story of charming family undone by unexplained forces; and his actors go a long way in portraying this with honesty.

Product Description:
Two siblings haunted by a childhood tragedy learn that the source of their horror is a mysterious mirror with a dark history. Tim (Brenton Thwaites) and Kaylie (Karen Gillan) were merely teenagers when both of their parents were brutally butchered. Convicted of the killings and sentenced to protective custody, Tim serves his time while Kaylie drifts into a deep despair. Years later, a newly free Tim does his best to lay the past to rest. Meanwhile, Kaylie is certain that her brother was innocent all along, and that the antique mirror their parents used to own holds the answer to her darkest questions. Upon locating the long-lost looking glass, Kaylie's deepest fears are confirmed -- a menacing force inhabits that mirror, and it has plagued every owner who has come into possession of it. Now, as curious Kaylie reacquires the mirror, the nightmarish cycle of horror returns with a vengeance.
