Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

programgod I know that sequels are usually crap, but seriously this one takes the cake. So bad, in fact, that it inspired me to create an account here and put in my two cents. This movie has got to be hands down the worst I have ever seen, and I have seen some crappy movies. The storyline did not even follow the original. In fact, the ONLY thing it had in common with the first is the Mayflower store. The fist one had an excellent storyline, good plot development and great acting. This movie had nothing. I would like to find the writers of this sequel and give them a good high five to the face. Don't waste your time with this movie!! And to top it all off, THEY Didn't EVEN REFERENCE THE FIRST ONE AND WHAT HAPPENED TO KIEFER!!! Even the few (VERY FEW) gory parts were sub-par and made no sense.

Nitzan Havoc After watching the first feature of this rare mainstream Horror duology, I've had very little expectations. If there's one thing I believe all of us Horror fans learnt from The Ring, is that high expectations for a sequel are doomed to come crashing down. Then again, lowered expectation leave room for some nice surprises and a better viewing experience.Knowing that, I sat down to watch Mirrors 2. The first thing I was glad about was seeing the incredible Nick Stahl, one of the most outrageously underrated actors in Hollywood, staring in his own Horror film, and one that is pretty high budget and mainstream (this is not to sat that mainstream is always good, only that it's nice that when Horror finally gets another mainstream feature, it's Nick Stahl who stars in it). Absolutely magnificent in Terminator 3, Sin City and On the Inside (you probably haven't seen it, I recommend you do), Stahl brought his absolute A game to work. Again. The slightly awkward ever struggling facial expressions, the friendly relatable body language, all the fine acting that make Stahl the perfect tragic hero and everyone's best friend is all here. Simply a pleasure! Having said that, I must say the rest of the cast (Emmanuelle Vaugier and Larence Turner in particular) did a fine job as well, and it's difficult to get recognized for good acting when you're hopelessly overshadowed by an actor of Stahl's proportions.The story is not half bad, yet not that impressive. Pretty much the same as in the first film. On one hand it means that there's nothing breathtaking, special or unusually good about it, on the other hand, it's not a complete fall compared to the first. Always nice to see the rules of Horror sequels broken. As in Mirrors, Mirrors 2's story lacked any substantial plot twists, and the direction it took towards the ending felt very out of place to me. Not to give any spoilers, but when it comes to ghosts haunting mirrors - attempting to reinvent the wheel in regards to their motivations is slightly off putting.Effects are of course Hollywood-level impressive, which means all the blood and gore you fans of all things revolting and nauseating could want. I, personally, am not a fan of these, and so I find these affects to be redundant to the point of being a nuisance. Unnecessary. You hear me, Hollywood? Unnecessary. It's high time we separated Horror from Gore, they are two completely different genres, and making an audience sick to their stomach is a million miles away from making them terrified.All in all, Mirrors 2 is nothing special, nor does it need to be. Mirrors 1 was nothing special, and only specific points of the story and Kiefer Sutherland's acting made it above average. Mirrors 2 is about the same, with Stahl having no problems in filling Sutherland's shoes. A good sequel, fun to watch, scary at times, definitely worthy of your time.

T-Moor Terrible movie, at times I wanted to stop watching it, but decided to watch it until the end. I think that they should have started a movie from telling a little bit about this mysterious girl. One more thing was unclear, why she did not start taking on her vengeance from the guy who killed her?Dialogues are really stupid, two policemen were really bad in their acting. Even the main character was wooden.Well, don't even waste your time on this terrible movie. There's nothing in common with the first Mirrors. They could have called this movie anything but mirrors, since visions appear on any glassy surface.My vote: 2 out of 10

muckrules I really dug this film. It is a film that is not for the squeamish Im telling you. The movie stars Nick Stahl who will probably best be remembered as the second John Conner in Terminator 3, or the "Yellow Bastard" Roark Jr. from Sin City. This is a intense little horror thriller. That feeds on suspense and the viewers ...empathy. With its situational awkwardness and bloody gory scenes. It is under the radar because its a straight to video release. I actually think it is a far superior movie then the first film. A better story and less money behind it. I truly believe this film is a hidden gem. Less can be more. Sometimes independent films are better then... mainstream releases because every dollar counts and that they need to be used wisely. What is more important to a mature audience story or mainstream actors and special effects.
