| abstract | - The Ocularis Infernum (in Latin: "The Eye of Hell") is a powerful and omniscient, supernatural object that is written in the Arcanum tome as the driving goal of the mythical Black Zodiac discovered by the demonically-possessed astrologer Basileus in the 1400s A.D. It plays a major antagonistic role in the 2001 supernatural horror movie Thirteen Ghosts (also known as Thir13en Ghosts). It is a demonic eye located in Hell that, once opened, will allow its user (whoever's able to control it) the power to see everything in the past and future, Heaven and Earth, the blessed and the damned, as well. The Basileus Machine was designed to open the Ocularis and give the machine's user control over it. Millionaire Cyrus Kriticos dedicated his entire life to achieve absolute wisdom and chose to find and capture the chosen 13 Earth-bound spirits and used their energy to power Basileus' machine while he builds the architecture of the machine in a nearby woods outside the American community of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania as the complete and faithful recreation of the 15th century astrologer's design. At last what it seems that Cyrus' obsessed goal would come at an end (with the "sacrifice" of ghost liberator Kalina Oretzia who helped him obtained the Arcanum and the reels containing recorded Drawing Spells and Containment Spells), he finally activated his reel-to-reel machine which sounded the spells and summons the 12 released phantoms including his late niece-in-law Jean Kriticos (as The Withered Lover) to the house's main hall on each imprinted Black Zodiac symbols in correct order around the center of the room as the Eye of Hell manifests itself as a clockwork device of rotating metal rings. His nephew Arthur Kriticos who arrived at the machine's main hall, angry at his own uncle for imprisoning the soul of his late wife Jean inside the "Glass House" with the other 12 vengeful phantoms and for kidnapping his still-alive 2 children, attacks him, demanding to release his beloved family, but Cyrus in his refusal strikes back and angrily beats him up with his cane and threatens him to complete the circle by making a leap into the Eye. The Kriticos family's hired babysitter Maggie Bess messes with the reel-to-reel device and helped releasing the 12 spirits from Cyrus' trance. The ghosts then proceeded to grab Cyrus and threw him to his death onto the Eye's rotating blades. Arthur, encouraged by the soul of ghost hunter Dennis Rafkin, leapt onto the center of the machine safely and holds onto both his daughter Kathy and his younger son Bobby as the Eye's metal rings spin uncontrollably until finally shuts down, meanwhile Maggie Bess herself survived the devastation of the malfunctioning machine as the entire house's walls and panes of Ectobar glass shatters, the Eye of Hell was no more and the 12 Ghosts including Jean Kritiocos were freed from the ruined Basileus Machine and finally crossed over to the other side.
