Mirrors

Reeling from an accidental shooting during his time as a NYPD detective, Ben Carson (Kiefer Sutherland, putting forth minimal effort) has drowned his guilt in booze and rage. Trying to clean up his act and win his family (including Amy Smart and Paula Patton, fighting her cleavage for screentime) back, Ben takes a job as a security officer guarding the spooky ruins of a department store that suffered a massive fire. During his rounds, Ben spies strange visions in the massive mirrors that decorate the hallways, images that forecast gruesome death. Attempting to investigate the history of the store and its past tragedy, Ben finds he’s brought the visions home to terrorize his loved ones, forcing him to fight back against the ghostly wrath of the mysterious reflections.

This was the plot I found on the internet, when I was searching for a good movie to see last weekend and it sounded so interesting, I hardly had a chance not to go into cinema… well, it took some persuasion to get Isabell coming with me, but finally we sat in front of screen no. 2 in the cineworld cinema.

And the movie turned out to be a good one, not the best horror movie I´ve ever seen but good enough to recommend it. The movie plays with the fear of the humans that mirrors do not only reflect the incoming light but also are doors to another world behind the glass where evil things happen. What would you do if you go away from your mirror and your mirror image would stay where it is and everything that happens to it would happen to you, injuries and pain?

Comment from Isabell: Waaaaaaa! Zombies!!!!!!!! She lost her jawbone! Uaeeeeh! I liked the front credits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you see, it wasn´t a bad horror movie, but the end was a bit disappointing… I think they planned an end like in “the 6th sense” but what finally came out was just a small surprise and not completly logical…

If you want a commendation: Watch this movie in cinema, the effect will be much bigger than in front of your TV.

7,5/10
