Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

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.

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.

BA_Harrison Director Alexandre Aja's Mirrors boasts a decent cast and stunning gore courtesy of FX experts Howard Berger and Greg Nicotero, but misses being a completely satisfying horror experience by failing to adhere to a convincing or consistent internal logic.At first, the mirrors are the gateway by which the evil force finds its way into our world; later, it can use any reflective surface—which is just as dumb as it sounds (almost any smooth surface has a reflection; it would be impossible to avoid them all!). The evil attacks the night-watchmen working at the department store, but doesn't bother with the old guard who patrols the building during the day. Most ridiculous is Ben Carson's continuing to work at the store, even after experiencing several supernatural incidents that would send most people screaming, never to return. These kind of problems plague the film to the end, seriously undermining its effectiveness.Still, at least the film doesn't wimp out on the gore, opening with a splattery throat slashing, giving us a yucky autopsy scene, and delivering a thoroughly shocking sequence in which Amy Smart suffers a grisly bathtub demise, her jaw ripped clean off her face (the same scene also provides the obligatory female nudity, Smart kindly baring boobs and butt before getting in the bath). Aja also sees fit to include that other popular mainstay of the genre: a fit bird in a tight white vest, Paula Patton as Carson's wife doing the honours, even going so far as to get all wet for the film's finale.5.5 out of 10, but I refuse to round it up to a 6 on account of that awful special effects scene in which Sutherland writhes unconvincingly in pain on the floor as he is burned by truly terrible CGI fire.

FlashCallahan Ben Carson is an ex-police detective in New York whose alcoholism made him incompetent on the job, and caused him to kill a man. Now he's trying to win back the trust of his estranged wife, a medical examiner, and maintain a loving relationship with his two young children. To make money while waiting for reinstatement, he takes a job as a night watchman at a department store gutted by fire. But he is soon tormented by supernatural mirrors that plagued the person he replaced. Ben finds that the mirrors' demons follow him everywhere in every reflective surface.....The biggest problem with the film is that because of the success of 24, you can never see a film with Sutherland in now, without thinking of Jack Bauer, so here, it's just Jack Bauer in a horror film, a good horror film, but he even brings Bauers' traits to the table.But Aja again proves that he is a competent film maker, and until he sold himself out with Pirhanna, he was an exciting horror film maker.The concept of mirrors and your reflection causing you harm is a wonderful idea, and the narrative creates a sinister air of tension.The ending is a little off the straight and narrow, and for gore hounds there is a literal mouth opening moment, but all in all, its a nice horror movie, not trying to exploit, just to scare.And it kind of succeeds....l
