Mike Flanagan’s ‘Oculus’ has been gifted a new US release date for next Spring. Based on the director’s short film of the same name from back in 2005 he helms from a script developed by himself and Jeff Howard. The movie stars former ‘Doctor Who’ companion Karen Gillan (below) and Australian star Brenton Thwaites (‘Maleficent’) as brother and sister who reunite in order to seek out an entity that they blame for the destruction of their parents years before. Blumhouse are set to release the supernatural feature into theatres from 18 April 2014. Gillan and Thwaites star alongside Rory Cochrane (‘Argo’), Katee Sackhoff (‘Battlestar Galactica’), Annalise Basso, Garrett Ryan, James Lafferty and Miguel Sandoval.
“OCULUS is a spine-chilling supernatural tale of two damaged siblings (Gillan and Thwaites) who, as children, witnessed their parents’ harrowing descent into madness and murder. At long last, brother and sister reunite as adults to expose and destroy the paranormal entity they believe is responsible: the Lasser Glass — a legendary mirror their family once owned.”
