Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

SnoopyStyle Max Matheson (Nick Stahl) is being treated psychologically by Dr. Beaumont for causing his fiancée Kayla's death. His father Jack Matheson (William Katt) reopens the Mayflower Department Store in New Orleans which has the cursed mirror haunting the night security guard. Max is hired as replacement and he starts seeing things. Elizabeth (Emmanuelle Vaugier) is searching for her missing sister.The original is an adaptation of a Korean horror. It was mostly bland and barely passable. This sequel is a lifeless reflection of even that. None of the visuals are particularly compelling or that scary. There is poor CGI work. All the characters are lackluster. It's also not taking many chances which leaves this a straight forward fail.

Vomitron_G "Mirrors 2" is pretty okay as a stand-alone feature, but it pales in comparison with Alexandre Aja's first film (which on its term was a re-make of an Asain film). This time, the film isn't exactly what the first one was about. Instead they turned it into a 'vengeful ghost' story. Not bad, really, but pretty standard stuff. Nevertheless, we get a couple of bloody death scenes, a bit of nice atmosphere, a dash of mystery (which isn't too hard to figure out) and some okay performances (though no Oscar worthy material, naturally). The over-all end result is just about decent enough. You could do a lot worse with other stuff that's being cranked out on DVD nowadays, especially when it comes to (loose) sequels. Teaming up "Mirrors 2" as a double bill with something like "White Noise 2: The Light" wouldn't be a bad way to spend a straight-to-DVD horror sequel night with your girlfriend.

homecoming8 "Mirrors" (2008) was a remake of the Japanese version, this time directed by the great french director Alexandre Aya (High Tension, Hills Have Eyes remake). It had Kiefer Sutherland (Lost Boys, Sentinel, TV's 24) and did very well at the cinema's. "Mirrors 2" went straight to DVD/Blu Ray which can mean two things: it's really bad or it can be surprisingly good considering it's limited budget and lack of well-known names. This time no Kiefer Sutherland but Nick Stahl (Disturbing Behaviour, Terminator 3). The story is pretty much a copy of the first one and it will remind you especially of the surprise hit "Stir Of Echoes". So no surprises there, but there are effective shock effects that will have you at the edge of your seat. And let's not forget about the awesome death scenes. The gory special effects are done by the legendary K.N.B. Effects group, helmed by Gregory Nicoterro and Howard Berger.The only flaw is that the first half of the movie is better than the second halve. But overall, it's certainly worth a look.

themadcamel Anybody who thought this movie was close to average, must have bin on drugs when the watched it.The problem with this movie is that it sux. The problem with the film industry today, is movies like this. Has the industry lost its originality?The First movie had some good ideas, and good moments, it built up the story to a good ending. this film is just another slasher, it has no depth or thought, its like the writer just pulled a bunch of used ideas out of a barrel and strung them together.And people are still gonna rent it, and they will make more just like it =(
