Oculus is a 2013 psychological/supernatural horror film directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Karen Gillan and Brenton Thwaites. The film marked Flanagan's mainstream film debut as a writer, director and editor, as well as Gillan's first lead role in a mainstream film.In 2002, the Russell family moves into a new home, buying an antique mirror called the Lasser Glass for some new decor. Parents Marie (Katee Sackhoff) and Alan (Rory Cochrane) begin to behave increasingly oddly, and the family is soon shattered when young son Tim is accused of killing his father.Eleven years later, Kaylie Russell (Gillan) recruits Tim (Thwaites), recently released from the asylum, to help prove the mirror's power and then destroy it. She believes it caused the deaths of their parents and scores of other people over the past three centuries. Tim's version of past events differs, offering a more realistic view of their childhood trauma.They return to their childhood home after re-acquiring the Lasser Glass. Despite taking several precautions against the mirror's power to alter its victims' perception of reality, it refuses to go without a fight...Has nothing to do with the Oculus Rift. | |

Tempting Fate: If you believe that Michael's death was another hallucination, then Kaylie promising him that things would go back to normal between them before she left for two days certainly qualifies, since she dies at the climax of the film. | |

Unreliable Narrator: The film introduces the mirror from Kaylie's perspective, which is that it's a supernatural Reality Warper. Tim, however, offers a mundane explanation for what happened during his childhood with Kaylie, and uses psychology to explain Kaylie's memories of supernatural events. | |

Artifact of Doom | |
| Oculus / int_3b5fcbb7 | comment |
Artifact of Doom / Cursed Item: The mirror is absurdly powerful and also evil. Kaylie barely has time to finish recording explanations of how its powers work and how she intends to counter them before it's caused them to move the cameras without realizing it. Most people who come into contact with it last a matter of weeks. Once Kaylie and Tim re-engage it, they last maybe a few hours. | |

Skeptic No Longer: The psychological terror to a very great extent relies on the conflict of belief between Tim and Kaylie: Tim is skeptical of the mirror's supernatural powers, while Kaylie is not. Tim first channels the rationalizing explanations of academic psychology but is forced to revise his explanations in the face of overwhelming evidence later in the film. | |

| Oculus / int_61459062 | comment |
Perception Filter: The Lasser Glass may not be able to alter the camera footage, but it can apparently alter a person's perception of that footage, as shown when Kaylie looks at the shards of the smashed plant pot through her cell phone, and sees nothing, believing the shards are an illusion and leading her to possibly fatally stab her fiancé. Tim may have looked dead into the monitor, but the mirror didn't let him see Kaylie standing there. | |

| Oculus / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: ...That would be because the mirror can stop people from hitting it, even if they eventually become so hostile to it that they try taking blunt objects to it. Kaylie tries to get around this by setting up a kill switch that goes off independently and doesn't run on electricity, so it can't mess with it. The mirror can't stop it from going off, but it can still manipulate Kaylie into standing in just the right spot... | |

The Chessmaster | |
| Oculus / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: The Lasser Glass itself becomes a character in its own right via the conflict between it and Kaylie. Kaylie herself attributes a human-like sapience to its malevolence, and thus has formulated plans against it based on eleven years of study around how it works: Kaylie knows that the mirror must have a range of influence and intends to record its interactions with plants and animals to measure it. The mirror takes advantage of her argument with her brother as a distraction, and they move the cameras away from the plants without noticing. Kaylie sets up regular phone calls so she can maintain returning contact with the uninfluenced outside world, but doesn't count on the mirror being able to manipulate what she hears on those calls. Kaylie knows that if she just tries to destroy the mirror outright, it'll stop her, so she sets up a mechanical kill switch that relies on human interaction not to trigger it, but to stop it, so it needs her alive. It thus manipulates Kaylie into standing in front of the mirror when it goes off, using her as a meat shield. | |
