Oculus
Horror
Eleven years ago, computer developer Alan Russell moves into a new
house with his wife Marie, 10-year-old son Tim, and 13-year-old daughter
Kaylie. Alan purchases an antique mirror to decorate his office. The
mirror induces hallucinations in both adults; Marie is haunted by
visions of her own body putrefying and decaying while she is still
alive, while Alan is seduced by a ghostly woman named Marisol, who has
mirrors in place of eyes.
Over time, the parents become detached and psychotic, with Alan isolating himself in his office and Marie becoming withdrawn and paranoid; during the same period, all of the plants in the house die and the family dog disappears after being locked in the office with the mirror. After Kaylie witnesses Alan interacting with Marisol and tells her mother, Marie becomes feral and, after a period of starving herself, attempts to murder the children. Alan overpowers her and chains her to their bedroom wall.
Alan remains isolated in his office for an indeterminate period of time; when the family runs out of food, the children attempt to seek help from their neighbors, who disbelieve their stories. Attempting to contact doctors or the authorities, Kaylie discovers that all of her phone calls are answered by the same man, who admonishes her to speak with her father.
One night, Alan unchains Marie, and both parents attack the children. Marie briefly comes to her senses, only to be shot dead by Alan. Alan corners the children in his office, but also experiences a moment of lucidity, during which he forces Tim to shoot him to death. The police arrive and take Tim into custody; before the siblings are separated, they promise to reunite as adults and destroy the mirror.
