The horror film Oculus follows Kaylie Russell (Karen Gillian) and her brother Tim (Brenton Thwaites), who survived untold horrors ten years prior when Tim was convicted of murdering their parents. Tim, who has been released from the mental institution, is ready to move forward with his life, but Kaylie wants to exact revenge on what she believes was true culprit, an antique mirror called the Lasser Glass. She believes the mirror has caused similar carnage throughout history to anyone who has stared into it, and will stop at nothing to destroy it.

Overall I really enjoyed the film. For a horror film it was at moments frightening and often downright creepy. The story was engaging and the film was well acted. The special effects were also realistic without being overly done.

Next Wednesday Syfy premieres the anticipated sequel to last summer's social media phenomenon, Sharknado 2: The Second One. The campy romp is sure to excite fans of the original. In preparation of the premiere, stars Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, and Vivica A. Fox, along with director Anthony C. Ferrante, talked to the media about what fans can expect.

The actors and director talked to SciFi Vision about some of work with visual effects they did in the film, which surprisingly didn't include much green screen.

Reid said, "I think when people see the sharks they think there's a lot more green screen than there really was. There really wasn't too much green screen at all in the film. It's more of CGI different special effects, but not really green screen.
