Creepy - Mirrors review by sb
FILM & REVIEW Very effctive shocker which is a remake of the Korean horror - albeit with considerable rewrites . Sutherland plays Ben an ex undercover NYPD cop who is suspended for accidentally killing another cop and is taking very strong meds for his anxieties. He gets a job as night watchman at a giant art-deco department store that was destroyed by a fire leaving only a burnt shell. He learns that the previous holder of the job killed himself and soon enough Ben begins to see strange apparitions and becomes convinced there is something in the giant mirrors in the store. He has an enstranged wife (Patton) and becomes convinced that whatever is trapped in the mirror can access any reflective surface and realises unless he can give the mirror what it wants his whole family is in danger so he sets out to discover what the mirror wants . Keifer is very good at first doubting his sanity then accepting it’s all real and taking action. At first the film does overdo the jump scares but soon settles down and lets the unsettling brooding atmosphere unnerve the audience. I like how it keeps to its own internal logic with a really neat twist thrown in and some of the goriest deaths in cinema. It’s a shame that director Aja who began with Switchblade Romance then the Craven authorised Hills have Eyes remake would do this and then end up churning out straight to video fare since - 4/5

Zzzzz... - Mirrors review by CP Customer
This film started bad then got worse and worse! I kept waiting for something to happen but it was a total let down. The only reason I rated this movie 1 was due to it's ending which I think holds a decent concept....would I watch Mirrors 2 because of this...erm....maybe, lol!
