Could the Wildbow Protags Survive Oculus (2013)

Spoilers for the film Oculus by Mike Flanagan under the cut!

Taylor Hebert: 4/10. The mirror eats the vitality of plant life and animals (including eating entire dogs off screen), and with how it influences perception, Taylor wouldn't even know that her swarm is vanishing. Her one saving grace is that she knows PRT Master-Stranger protocols and that her sensation filtered through her bugs MIGHT act similar enough to a lens that she might realize something is wrong. But that is a thin maybe at best.

Blake Thorburn: 6/10. Practitioner Sight and wards should allow for him to see the spirits around the Mirror and want to avoid being in its reflection. He has some experience with that due to fighting the Barber as well. As the Thorburn Bogeyman, he likely fights the Mirror's various souls inside the spirit realm, and the only reason I can't say he'd win is because it has a ton of dead souls to use as ways to attack him.

Sylvester Lambsbridge: 0/10. Suuuper dead. Mind and sensory altering evil Mirror against a devastatingly intelligent but unstable person who speaks to the manifested people inside his brain? At best, maybe Sylvester notices things not adding up subconsciously, but by that point the Mirror has already won and claimed him.

Victoria Dallon: 7/10. Her history of using Master-Stranger Protocols, Shard instinct, and noticing when she's being mastered is a huge boon for Victoria. Ditto if she just closes her eyes and lets the Fragile One smash the mirror. The big issue, however, is that a sentient haunted mirror is sooo outside her expertise. I don't doubt she'd realize she was being influenced, but the issue is that would she realize its the mirror?

LVA - 9/10. They lock that mirror the fuck up and throw away the key. Maybe just outright purify and destroy it for good measure. They have too many abilities to ward off manipulation, possession, and spirit fuckery. The sole point from a perfect score is that perhaps the Mirror is so powerful that it could potentially overpower any protections they pull up.

Mia/Carson/Gio/Natalie/Ben - 0/10. Bro these people are fucked.

Basil(A)/Winnie(Toby)/Orion - 9/10. You might be shocked, especially since SEEK has no magical or supernatural stuff, but hear me out. The one consistent thing we know about the Mirror is that it cannot full artificial lenses/cameras. It can only attack the natural senses. All of the protags have lenses due to Onboards (or are Onboards), meaning they would have protected sight. They can also access all the other senses to defend against the mirror. The big issue is again, determining that the mirror is the issue in the first place. Orion also would have issues since his Onboard is dumb and he needs to manually activate it's various defenses.

Conjuring 4 is such a nothingburger of a film that the most excitement I had was telling people in the audience to shut the fuck up after they talked through the first ten minutes. 135 minutes? Are you fucking kidding me??? THE FUCKING NUN had more going on than this movie. I know they've blown all their good stuff making like ten other movies in this universe but cmon man...

Go watch Oculus (2013) instead.
