Oracle is a 2023 American horror thriller film directed by Daniel Di Grado from a screenplay by Michael Ross and Corey Harrell.

The film stars Ryan Destiny, Ariel Martin, and Heather Graham.

Shay, a young black woman, awakes from a troubling nightmare about a door with a red glass handle.

She is a college student majoring in African-American History with emphasis on the Civil War.

Kate grew up in an old plantation home nearby and has returned with her three children in tow to care for her dying mother.

On her way to check out the house, Shay makes a friendly connection with her ride share driver.

She introduces Shay to the children - Andrew, Chase, and Blair - and shows her a photograph of her deceased relative who fought in the Civil War and his wife.

Kate’s husband is not able to make it in time, and she has no one else to call, so she asks Shay to come stay the night.

She hears a noise in the bathroom and sees Blair scrubbing her hands in the sink with scalding water.

He tells her he’s had a nightmare and shows her a drawing he’s made of a hand reaching for a red glass doorknob just like the one in her dream.

At that time, Kate calls Shay to check in but hangs up quickly when her mother’s doctor approaches.

Ghosts of slaves are running around the outside of the house, shouting, and Andrew senses the presence of the wife from the old photographs.

Shay thinks she’s overreacting and quietly emerges from the closet only to be grabbed by her hair and dragged downstairs by an invisible force.

The faucet turns on, and she sees a distorted image of herself in the mirror with the widow’s ghost behind her.

Shay fights back and smashes the mirror with a brush, causing the widow to leave.

Shay runs downstairs and sees the door with the red glass doorknob.

At this time, her rideshare driver who found her keys in the backseat has shown back up the house to return them.

The rideshare driver finds a broken window and approaches Shay, but a piece of glass falls, impaling him, and he dies.

Shay finds the boys in the hallway, but Chase locks himself into a closet and tells her to leave him alone.

Shay attempts to leave with Jasmine who is severely wounded, but the house won’t let her, and the two are separated.

Kate reveals that she doesn’t have a daughter, and Shay sees Blair in the corner of the room with a bloody wound on her back.
