“Oculus” Full-Length Trailer — Horror Thriller starring Karen Gillan, Katee Sackhoff, Brenton Thwaites and Rory Cochrane

Before "Doctor Who" star Karen Gillan gets blasted into space in Marvel's upcoming comic-book flick "Guardians of the Galaxy," she will have to first deal with some Earthbound obstacles, for instance destroying a really spooky mirror in the new horror thriller "Oculus."

Gillan stars opposite Brenton Thwaites (the upcoming Maleficent and The Giver) as two emotionally-troubled siblings whose parents were mysteriously killed years ago. Though the cause of their deaths may have something to do with a centuries-old mirror, which Gillan's character believes is cursed with some extremely bad mojo. The solution? Kill it before it kills again.

Co-written and helmed by horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan (Absentia), the film also stars Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff and Dazed and Confused's Rory Cochrane as the murdered parents while Annalise Basso and Garrett Ryan play the younger versions of Gillan and Thwaites' characters.

"Oculus" is coming to theaters next month, April 11th.

synopsis:
Ten years ago, tragedy struck the Russell family, leaving the lives of teenage siblings Tim and Kaylie forever changed when Tim was convicted of the brutal murder of their parents. Now in his 20s, Tim is newly released from protective custody and only wants to move on with his life; but Kaylie, still haunted by that fateful night, is convinced her parents' deaths were caused by something else altogether: a malevolent supernatural force -- unleashed through the Lasser Glass, an antique mirror in their childhood home. Determined to prove Tim's innocence, Kaylie tracks down the mirror, only to learn similar deaths have befallen previous owners over the past century. With the mysterious entity now back in their hands, Tim and Kaylie soon find their hold on reality shattered by terrifying hallucinations, and realize, too late, that their childhood nightmare is beginning again...
