Mirrors

A Customer from SW London, 13th October, 2008

This is a totally gripping movie from beginning to end, with an unexpected twist in the end. After Kiefer's character is involved in a shooting incident while working as a cop, he find his life completely turned on its' head. He is sleeping on his baby sister's couch, and is estranged from his wife and kids. In an attempt to get his life back on track,he takes on a job as a night security guard at a derelict burnt down buidling that was once a grandiose department store, before it was burnt down. On his rounds he starts seeing (and feeling) things in the mirrors.When his sister turns up dead in the bath in a horrific way, he is put on the path to discover the hidden secrets behind these mirrors. He discovers that the burnt down department store used to be a psychiatric hospital in the 50's with a man who engineered a method of therapy that involved treating patients with mirrors. Everyone in the hospital was killed in the most horrific massacre and so the hospital was sht down. The only clue Kiefer's character has got is the name 'Esseker' and the ticking clock of time quickly catching up on him.He must do all he can to get to the bottom of this puzzle or lose his family! Brilliant. A must see!

Mirrors is exactly how a supernatural horror should be...jumpy and creepy! But Mirrors takes it one step further with some pretty gross death scenes! Excellent film highly recommend - will defo buy when on DVD Rent if you liked Amityville Horror, The Grudge, The Eye

Worth looking in to!!

Maynard from , 21st October, 2008

It's rare that a 'horror' film makes me get goose bumps but this one managed it. Can't say too much as it will spoil your enjoyment, all I can say is give it a go. The story and characters are strong, especially Sutherland who in this instance has more than 24hrs to sort things out. The end is especially worthy of reflection!!

How can I put this without being too negative? In a nutshell, don't bother. Watch anything else instead. Hope this helps.

Good start, ok finish!

A Customer from Cambridgeshire, 8th March, 2010

This film was really good until the ending. I liked the fact it had a few twists in it and made me jump a few times but felt the ending really let it down.
