Katee Sackhoff (“BattlestarGalactica”) is set to join Karen Gillan (“Dr. Who”) in Film District and Intrepid Pictures’ new supernatural thriller Oculus. The film is directed by Mike Flanagan (Absentia), from a script by Flanagan and Jeff Howard, and is slated to go into production in the Fall.

Oculus follows a twenty-something brother and sister (Gillan) duo orphaned as children after the mysterious murder of their parents, of which the brother is charged with by authorities. His sister, however, continues to believe that a haunted antique mirror is truly responsible for their deaths.

Sackhoff will play Gillan’s mother in the film. The project is the latest in a string of genre offerings the 32-year-old has coming down the pike, including Sexy Evil Genius, the Lionsgate sequel The Haunting in Georgia and Vin Diesel’s sci-fi actioner Riddick.
