Oculus

Director Mike Flanagan, now better known for the Flanaverse of horror shows on Netflix, helmed Oculus as one of his first feature-length films. Siblings Kaylie and Tim post up in their childhood home, where they attempt to capture definitive proof that a cursed mirror caused their family’s tragedy, not their father. Jump scares galore in this one! 

Discussion points include: how to outsmart ghosts, eating things you definitely shouldn't, the nonsensical characterization of Kaylie. 

• The Lasser glass, while not real, was hung in a real place - Balmoral Castle. 
• Learn about other myths and folktales from the Bavarian forest.
• Pica is a real and scary condition!
