*1/2 out of **** After hearing of how horrible Alexandre Aja's "Mirrors" apparently was, I just had to see the thing for myself. I mean, what can I say? Mirror demons who feed on your life as you know it….well, that's just an awesome concept right there. But it's the execution that matters, and Alexandre Aja worried me with that. And in the end, my worries were reality. Aja essentially DID ruin an awesome concept by making a never-boring yet poorly … more

I wish horror movie makers would pay attention to other horror movies. Did anyone else see the Unborn and instantly think " 24 GUY SMASH THE MIRRORS! ALL OF THEM! THEN YOU'LL LIVE??" Nope? Just me? I also wish we would stop making remakes. Note to filmmakers: I am ok with reading subtitles if that means I am going to be scared out of my mind. I am also glad I rented this movie because I didn't feel so bad when I … more

Ben Carson (Keifer Sutherland) is hired as a night watchman while waiting to be reinstated by the NYPD. He begins working in an abandoned warehouse in an attempt to piece his life back together, however, something just isn't right. He notices that the mirrors in the place are a little too clean. He soon realizes that there's more to them. -summary I remember very carefully coming into Mirrors for at least two reasons; 1) I am not a fan of Alexandre … more

MIRRORS I would not say that this is the best horror movie I have ever seen or that this is one of the best horror movies to come out nowadays, but I will say that it is one of the best to be released theatrically these days. I have read a lot of things about this movie ranging from classic to horrible and I have to say that I find this film to be some where in the middle. This was in no part a bad movie in fact it is a really fun watch for those … more

What Pompted You to write a Review? A survey How was the Plot, Acting, Direction? This movie I thought was very well directed with good acting. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. It was actually scary and had a good story line to it. Were You ENTERTAINED? I was very entertained while watching this movie. It had me sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time! Did It Fulfill … more

Produced by Korean filmmaker Eun Young-Kim and directed by Alexandre Aja (Haute Tension), "MIRRORS" isn't exactly an official remake of the South Korean horror film "Into the Mirror" (aka. Geoul Sakeuro, 2003, directed by Sung-Ho Kim) but it does have pretty strong similarities (most specially the opening credits) since it is based on the Asian horror film. The "Americanization" of Asian Horror films are usually a miss more than a hit--with Aja at the helm as director, Eastern subtlety, slow suggestive, … more

I actually really like horror but this is basically as unpleasant as it gets. It pulls many CGi shock effects (rather than the more classic camera moves). But fundamentally this is a dark film that strives to make the audience miserable - and succeeds. Even writing a review seems to justify this film, which I detest doing. Apart from the fact that the plot is flimsy, the characters are 1-dimensional, and there are no redeeming elements, the antigonist is … more
