A
Oculus is a 2013 horror film in which Karen Gillan stars as a young woman who convinces her younger brother (Brendon Thwaites), recently discharged from a mental institution, to return to their childhood home for the first time in 11 years and record evidence that her brother was not responsible for the deaths of their parents (Katee Sackhoff and Rory Cochrane) and that their parents were victims of evil demons that are living within an ancient mirror and keeping a promise to destroy the mirror.
