Have You Seen: Oculus (2013)

In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.

This week we revisit Oculus, a 2013 psychological horror movie directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Karen Gillan, Katee Sackhoff and Brenton Thwaites, about a brother and sister who try to prove that a demonic mirror is responsible for the deaths of their parents 11 years earlier.

We talk about how this movie follows in the tradition of The Exorcist in that is examines supernatural horror through a rational lens and is a more compelling story for it, how the movie benefits from making both sides of its conflict competent so that when one side triumphs it feels earned and satisfying, how this movie shows that the Hollywood ending is a crutch and more movies should have tragic endings, and much more.
