*Updated with new earlier release date* Following the movie's screening at TIFF, Blumhouse Productions and Relativity Media acquired Mike Flanagan's Oculus. It has now been revealed that the movie will be getting a theatrical release early next year.

"Tim Russell (Brenton Thwaites) has spent years in a psychiatric hospital, trying to get over the traumatic impact on his fragile psyche of the deaths of his parents. After being released and reuniting with his sister Kaylie (Karen Gillan), Tim begins to understand that the roots of their misfortune are far more sinister than he could have realized.

Convinced that an old mirror was responsible for their family tragedy, Kaylie has spent the intervening years tracing the mirror's 300 years of mysterious history and the bloody trail of destruction left in its wake. Now, with Tim by her side, she is ready to confront the evil.

The duo must unravel the terrifying truth of their past in the face of increasingly dangerous and unexplainable phenomena. There can only be one outcome when it comes to the evil they confront — an outcome born of deception, violence and murder."

Oculus stars Karen Gillan, Brenton Thwaites, Katee Sackhoff, Rory Cochrane, Annalise Basso, and Garrett Ryan Ewald. Originally scheduled for a theatrical release on April 18th, the movie will get a release one week earlier on April 11th.
