Summary

Hi everyone, this week we have a Halloween surprise for you! My producer Jeph and I are rewatching Mike Flanagan's 2013 horror film Oculus, which I starred in. Grab some popcorn and candy and get ready for some southern gothic scares. I haven't seen this movie in over a decade, so it was a lot of fun to sit down and try to remember what happened. Jeph had never seen it, so he was coming in blind!

For this audio companion, Jeph and I introduce the movie and talk through some behind the scenes stories about the rest of the cast, which included Karen Gillan, Brenton Thwaites, Kate Siegel and Rory Cochrane. We also get into the stunts and effects, how the film found success at the box office and how to act possessed in a dress! If you want to watch the film with us, head over to https://patreon.com/thesackhoffshow or check out our YouTube for highlights!

0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome to the Sackoff Show. This is the audio version of what we did today. So because it
0:06.8	is Halloween, we thought we would watch a scary movie and we decided to make it one of my own just for
0:11.9	shits and gigs. We decided to watch Oculus. It was the first project I did with Mike Flanagan.
0:17.8	The movie took place in 2014 with myself, Karen Gillen, Brendan
0:21.9	Thwaites, and Corey with myself. Rory Cochran, Karen Gillen, and Brenton Thwaites. It's a really
0:31.0	fun movie, and I know that you will enjoy it tremendously. We are going to watch the movie over on Patreon. So if you
0:41.3	want to watch it with us with a timecode, it's patreon.com slash the sackoff show. If you want to
0:46.5	watch a cut up version with me, you can also do that over at the YouTube channel. But if you want to just listen to the post conversation about Oculus,

1:33.5	Yeah. I think that that was one of the things that impressed me so much about watching the movie again. Now, it impressed me while I was working with him the first time, but watching it back,
1:45.5	he and Mike Famieri are so good at what they do. That's why they still work together. They're
1:52.0	still a team 13 years later. And this movie, not only is the script phenomenal, but the camera movements.
2:03.7	Yeah, it's incredible.
2:05.3	The storytelling with the camera movements because you're dealing with so much of the jumping back and forth in time.
2:15.3	You know, for people over on audio, this is a movie that an entire family gets terrorized

2:25.3	And tragedy ensues.
