[@BestCupid]

Since Oculus, Mike Flanagan has been killing it with his shows/movies. Easily became one of my favorite writers

[@bitesizedsuprised3445]

The Lasser Glass in itself is a lovecraftian theme that is rarely done with subtlety or a narrow scope. A threat to humanity that is beyond humanity. Whether in our ability to understand it or as an inhuman monster. It is a threat but not on a broad scale. It's a trail that leaves a sinister scar across generations. The glazs isn't an object possessed or housing something. It IS the entity.

[@Ocrilat]

That's what I liked about the film. It was unexplained WHAT the mirror exactly was.

[@kinagrill]

@@Ocrilat It's clear that it's.... not a mirror. it's.... something else. We can only perceive it as a mirror. If I should give a guess, I think it's a damage to 'our' reality that radiates out form that mirror. Perhaps it was made with something that contains this bit of 'reality fragmenting' substance. Hence why any level of exposure to being near it is enough to affect people. I doubt it's even an 'entity' as such cuz that'd be putting too much of a 'creature' to it. It merely IS, Hell if we took something like a canon-lovecraftian lore focus on it, the Mirror might very well hold a miniscule fragment of Azathoth within it. Just being near it is enough to cause mild effects, but actually LOOKING upon it is where those tendrils of insanity begins to worm their way inside your mind - quite like how actually hearing/seeing something lovecraftian in that universe is literally damaging to the mind and sanity of someone. The father and mother also only seem to get WORSE as they spend time infront of the mirror. A purely scientific outlook could postulate a type of radiation that we dunno how to detect yet, what exactly it's made up of and how it functions specifically. Perhaps something in the whatever-substance-makes-up-the-mirror-itself contains this radiation.

[@Ocrilat]

@@kinagrill Agreed!

[@walruslatte6080]

I love that unlike most supernatural entities, it at affects adults MORE strongly than children because adults tend to repress more.

[@DionysusVoice]

I'm glad someone else likes this movie. I was surprised to find so many reviews tearing it to shreds, but it's one of the few that's stuck in my mind in the past few years. As for Karen Gillan? Well, fortunately for me, this was the first show in which I saw her, so I cannot typecast her, except as a gorgeous and talented lady.

[@oooiluvpancakesooo7781]

They actually did refer back to the temperature thing later in the movie. When she is desperately trying to get her brother to believe her she makes a point of saying that the temperature has risen 3 degrees since they started. He passes it off as all of her lights creating heat, but the point is that it is referenced. A small correction but it does serve to make u question her sanity and wonder whether or not it was her or her brother who actually deserved to be in the nuthouse.

[@kinagrill]

I think both needed it. Tim is a lot more stable than Kaylie initially. A lot more precautions could have been taken to avoid that 'accidentally standing in the way of the anchor-axe thingy and then tamper-proof that with some sort of sensor so even trying to get past it will cause a likewise shock to the body and mind like with the timer-alarm of Kaylie's husband calling her. I never noticed tho, but is there a certain timelength from that 'shock' to when the mirror can insert it's influence again? I also wondered... why not just close your eyes and raise a gun and shoot, since you cannot say for sure if you're aiming correctly or not, thus you cannot be sure if you're actively aiming spot on or a little bit off? Also a better timer thing would have been to have the mirror drop from a height if the timer goes out, and then also stop anyone from being able to directly touch it as well. Hence why I theorize Kaylie's been affected since childhood and that has lead to how she didn't want to destroy the image initially, but just prove that IT was the cause of her parents going crazy and such. and that Tim was innocent. She did a lot that could be considered 'smart', but equally much that at closer inspection by an outside source (aka. ME!) will show how flawed her approach is in terms of her own security.

[@matthewpollock9685]

Well, at least her father only tried to kill his family this time, not half the universe.

[@PlatypusYSL]

When they saw themselves messing with the cameras unwillingly, that's when I would've given up immediately. It's like constantly dreaming about getting out of bed only to wake up again, you have no chance.

[@joshuasepeda3289]

I would have activated the anchor right then and there.

[@tenthdoctor9124]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. What would think of a sequel where Tim is in a asylum and they bring in the mirror to convince him that it is just glass and than shit goes down

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Personally I always envisioned a sequel would be about the people or person who received kaylies videos.

[@12227UserName]

I think this film is best without any prequels or sequels. It's a perfect film on its own. They'd probably end up spoiling the lore behind the mirror if they were to continue the story. And in my opinion, sometimes it's best to leave the lore unexplained. But don't get me wrong- if done right, I'd be very intrigued to learn more about it.

[@suprshin]

The twist. The ones that are already imbalanced are immune.

[@kinagrill]

@@deusdeaconReviews What they should do is make a connected universe and have other unrelated objects of whatnot be of note. Perhaps the Burial Spot of the ACTUAL lilith (adam's first and very flawed wife according to... some parts of christianity/judaism... I think?) has always held some sort of sexual or prostitution locale to it (from a tribalistic depravity-hut, to a bordello, etc. etc.), then maybe set it into a victorian period era with like a boarding school for girls where things begin to go truely bad, since that perversion, over time, will grow more and more extreme, what was before pleasurable has become mere Ennui (sorry for more french, it's just a perfect word for it). Or use something like Art Pieces tied to murders/disappearances - everyone seem able to point out remarkable resemblances between the missing people are the people in the art pieces and the fact they hadn't actually noticed the person in the painting prior to the disapperance (most of them very artfully horrific or just very unsettling in an undefinable way), but beyond that no one seems to go and suspect 'monster art' of course. Just small hints here and there. Maybe twisted versions return in horrific horror-scares and it's never clearly defined if it's all just hallucinations or if there's actually something to the whole art gallery being lovecraftian. Don't put a legit this/that notation. It's up to the viewer to judge. All clues should be at least in part be dismissive but at the same time confirmative so even the viewer (us) can say for sure if the events in the movie are lovecraftian or just.... hallucinatory episodes caused by 'insert reason that will be mentioned in-movie as a plausible explanation..... kinda like how the original Total Recall to this day still have people arguing both narratives as an ending as the true one. Or a space ship exploring a black hole due to 'reasons'.... maybe it's unique, perhaps a signal has been detected from it, maybe a big silver orb with sigil-like iconography edge into it is hovering just at the edge of the Black Hole's primary gravitational pull.... whatever. All of it just having a focus around the effects of that black hole, getting too close to it, experiencing time being distorted, realising they've been approaching the blackhole even further, even after having made a full 180 toget away from it, etc. tons of sensory manipulation for both the characters but also the viewers. Like Event Horizon mixed with that Star Trek Voyager episode where Voyager gets too close to a black hole and they cannot seem to get away from it because what they see and what is sensed is mirrored by the event horizon of the black hole's bending of light, etc. etc.

[@IAmTheUnison]

The one problem I do have is that I'm pretty sure that anchor would have destroyed the mirror too. I'm no nautical expert, but I know anchors are REALLY heavy, and I doubt a woman's neck would be enough to stop the force of that thing smashing that mirror into little bitty pieces...sure she'd still be VERY dead, but so would the mirror.

[@dianarendon4037]

I just discovered your channel the other day when your review for House On Haunted Hill showed up in my recommended. Been binge watching all your videos since. New subscriber gained!

[@CannaToker420]

I thought Katee Sackoff as Marie was the creepiest part of the whole movie. Not really when she's full blown crazy. But when her paranoia is escalating and she's becoming more and more unstable and neglectful of her own personal health and her family duties. That scene where she's looking at her self in the mirror revealing that gaping wound is so fucking well done, I love it.

[@falloutghoul1]

I love how this film is like a love-letter to Lovecraft's works, while being somewhat original.

[@leadvendor]

Mike Flanagan is a director to watch out for. So far he has delivered three solid psychological thrillers (this film, Absentia and Hush). He understands the importance of tension and holding back on spoon-feeding the audience. To him, we are on a need-to-know basis and we only find out enough to make us think, but never to truly CONFIRM. Plus, you are right by saying the Lasserglass (I fucking LOVE that name) is Lovecraftian to it's core. Additionally, a lot of Lovecraft's stories concentrated on the mental health of its characters and by the end, that health has deteriorated beyond recognition or has taken an enormous blow that will never be reconciled.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Also lets not forget that the lasser glass appears in absentia, so i like to think flanagans films take place in the same universe.

[@leadvendor]

Indeed. Though I wonder how Hush would play into that notion.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

The main character is the same women who plays marisol, but thats flimsy at best.

[@leadvendor]

Eh, it'll do.

[@jamesmoseley5428]

I felt absentia would have been better with just a bit more mythos. Here in oculus there are so many details (however vague) that we can use to construct a wonderful backstory and expanded universe. I think the monster in absentia was much more interesting in concept than the lasser glass but they didn’t really do anything with it. I know they were going for an “is it or isn’t it” theme but that only works if the movie is appealing to our fear of insanity. If you’re going to have a monster commit to the monster

[@Leechwife]

This review actually made me appreciate the movie more. There were a lot of things I didn't understand about it. Flanagan has also directed one of my faves "Gerald's Game" and "Hush", starring his spouse, Kate Siegel, who also is in Netflix's "The Haunting of Hill House", which is an excellent series.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Don't forget Kate siegel is also in this film as marisol

[@Greed70]

Whoa, before this review I always thought Kaylie's husband died. All of your reviews for this H.P Lovecraft Month were great, but ever since you teased Oculus in your intro I have been eagerly waiting for you to review it.

In recent years, CinemaSins has gone downhill (update: it’s not that they’ve gone downhill, but that I’ve grown out of them), even to the point of pointing out nonexistent plot holes.

CinemaSins has always been this way. They always pointed out non-existent problems or knit-picks to pad their totals.

[@nemo9396]

17:02 I think the movie is about schizophrenia and how perceptions are affected; in the end the guy screams it was the mirror like he's manic obsessive.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

well the "its all in his head" idea is not what the filmmaker intended also "manic obsessives" or bi-polar disorder is not like that at all.

[@3xitt]

I still believe that this ambiguity (Tim's schizophrenic obsessions vs mirror's mind-control manipulation) is a basic concept of the whole movie. Maybe there's more to read between the movie's lines (or maybe I'm reading too much into it)...

[@WeeLin]

Brilliant video - just subscribed! I totally agree with the Lovecraftian interpretation, which is why I think the film works so well. Thanks SO much for addressing the 'why don't they just smash it?' comments. The whole point (I thought) was that the mirror was in control all along, defending itself through subtle manipulation. Also, I really liked your theory on whether the fiance was dead or alive - it's never confirmed, but I think you've got it right. (Confession time - I did make one throwaway Weeping Angels gag in my own Oculus video. I just couldn't resist. Sorry Karen!)

Great review. I just saw this movie yesterday and searched out some discussions on it, and your is my favorite. I agree, by the way, that it’s more interesting if Kaylie’s husband wasn’t there and isn’t dead. Because it means the mirror can do even more “world-building,” influencing cameras and showing both people the same visions.

20:25 That is kind of funny to think about though. What if the picture frame had hit the mirror and destroyed it? How ironically hilarious that would be! This eldritch instrument of darkness sowing the seeds of discord only to have karma come back to bite it in the ass. XD I can't be the only one who finds that concept funny.

Hey, @Deus, what with how far Mike Flanagan has come in terms of horror, like Oculus, The Haunting series, and Doctor Sleep, would you ever see/review Before I Wake by Mike Flanagan?

i think the mirror ate the dog in the present but made them think that they let it go

[@deusdeaconReviews]

I doubt that cause it would've been captured on camera that the dog disappeared and they opened an empty cage thinking there was a dog.

[@jackwells8107]

What bothered me most about this movie is that, no matter what the kids may have said about the mirror, it's pretty obvious that the father had tortured the mother to death, so how the heck did Tim get committed for self defense? Even though the cops took him away, I think he must have been committed because he had trouble adjusting, and so he was dismissed (because his insurance refused to keep paying) for some other reason. Nothing else really makes any sense at all. As to Tim and Kaylee disagreeing on the memories, I always just assumed that was because of the therapist brainwashing him to disbelief himself. Oh, and for the record, I hope you're doing well, but I miss your new content.

I do think that Mirror is going to bight the big one eventually- it's just a question of how many people it can drag down beforehand. With people already figuring out the rules of the thing, it's only a matter of time before someone comes along who just wants it dead and has the wits to make it so. It may think it was being clever by tossing the brother back out into the world, but it's only a matter of time until it's destroyed by its own hubris.

I think the fact Kaylie wants to do that experiment is the mirror's initial influencing of her to stop her from growing up and wanting to DESTROY it instead. Whereas the Brother has been through god-knows what kinds of therapies and medical treatments, so he might be more stable and, well, never been interested in the mirror. This also gives hints that Kaylie is clearly weakminded where as Tim, her brother, has been through tons of therapy and whatnot and has hardened up and whatnot, what with their mis-remembering of memories and such. Kaylie is affected initially at childhood. Also, the fact they merely let that anchor be hanging like that without any protective measures to stop them from being in the way.... like, say, bolted-in-place plexiglass walls that keeps the area the anchor axe thingy can swing and the mirror itself - for with perhaps a tremor sensor set up so even if they were influenced to try and get inside, they'd get a similar shock to the system as with the timer alarms and such. I even think it has a forget-me-now effect in people that's only be minor-exposed to it. Like those cops, anyone that might come and pick up the mirror post-ending for whatever reason, etc.

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie for sure.

[@RubedoURTV666]

I have a theory about the time shenanigans in this movie. I think the mirror was able to effect both timelines because it was in the same house (even in the same spot in the house) during these events. If they had done this in a rented apartment somewhere, there would be no connection to the past with the kids. But if the entity is timeless (a true eldrich being), then it's possible it being in the same spot in the same house allowed it to connect the timelines in some way. That's why there is so much crossover between the two (at the end when the past and present are clearly effecting and interacting with eachother). Just a theory. But the only one that makes sense to me.

[@troin3925]

To me, if _mother!_ is a stress-induced nightmare that gets more horrific, claustrophobic and surreal, then Oculus is a slow descent into madness as you start to succumb to the symptoms of psychosis and stop trusting literally anything and everything around you. I love both of those films (with _mother!_ being one of my favorite horror films of all time), and they got the best impact out of me: the former making me anxious once everything in the house goes to hell and stops feeling like reality, and the latter making me scared and disoriented as the mirror mentally harasses the main characters and the past and present merge together and stops being a simple transition from present to flashback and vice versa. By the end of the movie, I’ve become so distrustful of everything I saw that I thought the sister’s death was an illusion even as her brother was being arrested (I might’ve still thought it was an illusion even after I first finished the film but I can’t remember).

I think it's good that some directors are going with the what you don't see/what you can't understand horror.

It's also interesting to consider, can the mirror just not effect the kids, thus why the mother of 1 of the victims killed her, and it seemed like they nearly went the same way, or does it just view them as weak so something it can play around with for it's own enjoyment? It seems to potentially effect them a bit with the voice in the phone, as it's not really been shown capable of doing standard ghost things, so that would imply it was doing some mind games, but maybe that is all it can manage for them.

I have a new theory about the mirror. What I think is that it was forged from a eldritch relic in the beginning someone thought it would make a great art piece so the person or group of people made the orginal item into a mirror unknowingly created a artifact that is not only cursed but is also alive .its kinda like the color out of space only melted down into a mirror from the eldritch realm

btw its progress when he shot because when he was shot he had no control but when he shot its a sign of him having control over the situation aka himself

There are shades of Haunting of Hill House in this movie, also by Mike Flanagan. He’s extremely talented at serving up subtle and effective horror. I’d love to hear your opinions on Hill House if you haven’t covered it already!

and of course the lasser glass is hanging on the wall of the titular house

Deusdaecon Reviews is it? I didn’t catch that!

[@deusdeaconReviews]

It can be seen most prominently in episode 5 but its always there lurking in the background

The Mirror of Dorian Gray

[@lahirudinalankara1460]

Where you talk about the creepy image at 21:58 is it just me or that is what the mirror would see after the anchor hits her neck.

[@svnhddbst8968]

damnit, i can't use you as background for games, cause i actually want to hear what you have to say.

More Lovecraft!!!!!!!!!

[@willh1651]

I haven't watched Doctor Who since the guy with the fro and the scarves was on it.

[@wizgi7201]

i died at the time paradox bit

[@nadamw]

after seeing this review I just was thinking that the mirror is not really a mirror but some thing else all together remember how in lovecraft that the old ones where things that man kind can not make since of that there true forms is beyond are under standing what if the mirror is one of them and that all we see is a mirror and not what it really is or even more so that it is a part of them like one of there eyes made into a living thing

[@spdrwrtr]

completely agree about Karen Gillan only referred to as "Amy Pond". It's insulting to a talented actress who has a long and successful career ahead of her (I also have problems with CinemaSins as well, but that's beside the point)

[@michaelkeha]

+Trevor Long haven't seen the channel is it really that bad?

[@konstance13]

If you're going to watch CinemaSins, just don't go in expecting deeply thought-out reviews. The format is literally pointing everything wrong out in a movie. I enjoy them for the most part, though I think they've recently become too lengthy and rely too much on running gags. I suggest trying a few of their earlier, shorter videos. They relied more on flawed logic and actual bloopers back then.

[@godzillaprime]

It's mehh, the guy sounds really dead inside.

24:00 mind blown!
