1. Oculus
Karen's ongoing mission to make a film in every genre brings us to the final entry in our countdown of her most unmissable performances to date. It's the tantalising 2013 thriller Oculus, if you hadn't guessed already, in which Karen stars as Kaylie Russell, a young woman who convinces herself that an antique mirror is responsible for the untimely death of her family. Bear with her. She has her reasons, OK? She decides to take matters into her own hands by transforming her childhood home into a network of paranormal surveillance and, in true horror style, things start to escalate very quickly when the ominous mirror starts getting up to all kinds of supernatural shenanigans. It's bound to keep you on the edge of your seats and you'll definitely enjoy it if you've ever wondered what Karen would look like eating a lightbulb. Seriously. Not one for the faint hearted... What did you think of this list? Are there any other of Karen's performances that should've been included? Share your recommendations in the comments below!
