Movie Reviews of Mirrors
Movie Review: Mirror, mirror on the wall
Summary: 5 Stars
Angela Carson: Mirrors are just glass and silver, Ben. That's it. There's nothing behind them.
Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):
1. Ex-cop Ben Carson (Keifer Sutherland) is forced by necessity to take a job as a night watchman at a Department Store that has been gutted by a major fire.
2. It doesn't take him 24 hours to find out that something's not quite right with his new job
3. Sure enough, he soon learns that the Department Store was once a totally different type of institution, and that the man who burned it down had also killed his own family. Strangely enough, the large mirrors in the building have all survived the destruction.
4. When the hallucinations start, Ben starts digging around, and discovers a clue - the word "esseker"
5. No prizes for guessing that something evil lurks in the mirror world, and soon Ben's family become targets.
6. It's up to Ben to find a way to save his family, and his time is almost up.
This is a creepy, gritty sort of horror flick that will have you thinking twice about looking into the mirror, even if you've never before been able to pass one by without checking yourself out. A bit of gore here and there adds to the drama, but the spine-tingling bits occur in the quieter moments. The ending however, isn't so much anticlimactic as understated. Recommended for folk who like to get their creep on.
Ben Carson: You gotta be careful of the water, it creates reflections!

Movie Review: I see reflected people
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big horror buff. I have seen the best of them and the worst of them. I turned off the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre because I found it excessively gorey. Other than Mirrors, my favorite horror movie was Boogeyman. I am not a fan of gore. I think the best horror movies are psychological and scare you either because you know it definetly COULD happen or because it is based around a subject that has some degree of mystery around it. Mirrors is based around the premise that mirrors are actually portals to another world and are able to control your body. The concept is frightening enough, but their implementing of the concept left me afraid to look at mirrors for several days.
I'm not going to say that the movie is free of gore. There was a moment where I had to avert my eyes because the image before me was so gruesome that I simply couldn't watch. But the moments of gore are few and far between and they aren't the main factor that gives you fear. The film relies on getting into your head and planting fear of an everyday object to terrify you. And it succeeds. Beautifully.
Movie Review: Reflection of Fear
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw the Theatrical version the first weekend out and thoroughly enjoyed MIRRORS.I did feel that something was missing, and once again the Unrated Version has proven to be the gold standard.MIRRORS UNRATED packages both the Theatrical and the Unrated together, so you can see the two edits of the film on the same disk.Fabulously Eerie with its supernatural elements, the story brings you through the experience as we come to the final terrifying twist in the story. The disk is made for a 5.1 setup with its great audio, and specifically its ghostly audio that adds much to its spectacularly spookiness. Kiefer's performance brings up a brilliant scare. Its an excellent watch.
DVD: Great extras.I don't agree with the deletes but thats the fun of the movies. The making of show a great deal of how this scare-fest was put together. HAVE FUN !!!
Movie Review: Very Great Spooky Thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
I watch this movie practically every night. For two main reasons, first because Kiefer Sutherland is in it and second because I love thrills, chills and horror in movies. This movie was very creative when it comes to mirrors. I give it two thumbs up. The movie really opens up in a thrilling chilling scene where the prior security guard Kiefer will be replacing is running is the NYC subway station in Harlem from something creepy and winds up hiding in a locker room where he finds a small window which he hopes to escape through but to his "Oh F***!" surprise when he opens it he finds it is bricked up and he cannot get out. Being he has hit a dead end he turns around, apologizes to the mirrors and suffers the unthinkably brutal fate in store for him by the mirrors. And here is where the terrifying story opens! Watch on and enjoy!Movie Review: An instant classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very hesitant on this film since the trailer for it didn't make it seem interesting so I rented it before buying it,and I must say it's fantastic!Mirrors is a truly creepy horror-film that focuses on a more original approach to a classic horror story than today's approach such as Pulse,feardotcom,The Ring(okay the ring was good but after that the idea of the internet and the digital realm conjuring ghosts just gets pathetic).It's basically about an ex-detective who gets a security job watching this burned up department store that was once a sanitarium and through this nightly visits he encounters the mirrors scattered throughout the store that have something disturbing to show him,and his encounters follow him home so to speak.There's much more to this horror/mystery but I don't want to spoil it :)
