Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Tweetienator With Alexandre Aja directing and Kiefer Sutherland in the main role this movie cannot be bad. I agree with some reviews, that the ending or outcome could have been a more interesting one, but anyway, this movie got well done acting, some gore, a fine dark and suspenseful atmosphere, and well, we all know, that the story of a horror movie tend not to be made to be Oscar material.Not outstanding but good and a nice snack for the connoisseur of the many horrors.

jackvictore Let me start by saying I've never seen the movie that inspired this movie. From what I understand this is loosely based on a South Korean film "Into the Mirror" which I have not seen. Kiefer Sutherland, whom many recognize as the main character in the TV show "24" strikes me as an above average actor. With the promotion that came with "24" and the constant exposure to it I have trouble not seeing Sutherland as "That 24 guy". Not because the characters are too similar, which they may or may not be, but because his face is so unique and recognizable. With that said, I like this movie. It has an unusual and mysterious atmosphere. Taking place in an abandoned architecture that has been burned. The place becomes the ex-detectives new hell as he is hired as a security guard to oversee this once valuable real estate. Wouldn't you know it, this place has a lot of mirrors. But like all mirrors, these might show you something you don't want to see. Many of the scenes in this movie are exceptionally graphic in what appears to be a subtle mix of gratuitous practical effects with a professional and light use of CGI. I give this movie an extra point for 2 scenes in particular which gave me the eeewwww-ohhhhh-noooo factor that I so rarely experience in the yawn factory of CGI, video-game graphics cinematography. There are some truly disturbing scenes in this movie that were convincing enough to make me wince.

videorama-759-859391 I must say, I was really impressed with the story behind this one. Mirrors is quite a dark, it's twist at the end, one hell of a payoff. Mirrors have never been scarier. Sutherland does well as a troubled guy, who gets a security night job, at the old classic building, where of course the last guard, disappeared. In this building are possessed mirrors, that end up controlling your mind, and taking away your sanity, while of course, causing death too. Though in it's story, it does get bogged down with too many preposterous story angles, but it does have you believing or more so, wanting to believe the the story, to be reality. It was great to see Kiefer in this, and he has fine support, although there are some ugly moments-violent wise, one with his daughter that goes too far, where the violence does challenge you, the start a bloody scarily thrilling opening. On the whole Mirrors, a solid supernatural drama does warrant your attention. Something fresh and original, and they had to make a sequel, didn't they.

SapphirePanther Mirrors is a horror movie that was released in 2008, directed by Alexandre Aja. The movie is about Ben (Kiefer Sutherland), A suspended police detective lands himself a job as a night security guard at a shut down department store that previously suffered a massive fire, but the department store has more to it than he knows, something much darker than he could ever think of. Whilst trying to prove himself to his wife after previous problems with alcohol, the strain from the constant strange goings on with the mirrors continues to set even more obstacles in his way of becoming a better father and a better husband. With his past experience with alcohol problems, Ben has to do everything he can to prove to his wife that he is not crazy and that something is not right with the mirrors. Mirrors is rather creepy and somewhat disturbing as the characters own mirror reflection is what causes the character to murder themselves. As much as they try to resist and prevent it they are unable to prevent their reflection causing the killing to proceed.The movies graphics has a massive attention to detail, especially with the death scenes being brutally graphic. For example, the ripping open of the mouth that Ben's sisters mirror image causes her to do is so graphic it may be disturbing to some viewers. I believe that in a horror movie, putting a great amount of attention into the detail of how graphic the gory scenes are is essential. So it definitely can scare some people and that is what you need from a horror movie.Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer, 24), is the perfect lead role making you feel for his character. With Ben going through so much in his past and throughout the movie, you start to feel sorry for Ben leaving you eagerly rooting for him wanting the others to believe him. Overall, this contains everything a horror movie should have, blood, gore and brutalness with a hooking storyline. It didn't get much of a positive response from critics and might not be the best movie in this genre but in it's own right is an acceptable fast, paced horror.Storyline - 4/5Uniqueness - 4½ / 5 Overall - 6/10 (1= Weakest - 5=Strongest) (1=Weakest - 10=Strongest)
