Too much of everything

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Ah, the good old found footage horror genre. The perfect excuse for low production values, bad acting and general badness since the days of the blair witch project. In order for a movie to be a horror film, there has to be some degree of actual horror or scariness. The Mirror fails in that regard. Sure there are a few sequences that maybe sort of work. But altogether its level of scariness falls somewhere between a goosebumps novel and an episode of antiques roadshow.The plot is simple. Three English students buy an antique mirror off ebay and some expensive camera equipment in an effort to win a paranormal contest. All three of the students have the collective IQ of a bag of crisps as is required to make any part of the film to work. They live in a part of england where police and doctors don't exist. They mostly sit around doing nothing in their ikea furnished flat for an hour until one of the students, Matt becomes haunted or possessed by the mirror. As far as possessions go, this is one of the lamer ones. Overall, the movie is lame, boring and corny with poor pacing and poorer plot. "Mirror Cam" from the movie is probably 10 times more exiting than this.

This film seems to be full of big build ups that lead nowhere. Obviously it was shot on a very tight budget and, at times, they did manage to build the suspense but there was no pay off. We are all used to the sheer stupidity of people in horror films but these ones take it to a new level. **major spoilers** Their flat appears to be broken into, no call to the police. The guy goes blind (yes..blind!) and they tuck him up in bed with no call for medical help. They start off three happy flatmates until the mirror arrives, it all goes downhill and yet not until the end does it dawn on one of them to even try and get rid of it. One of them disappears, clearly in a bad way and yet they don't report him missing. The list goes on... I gave this a 3, mainly because the acting was passable and I did jump once but I will mourn the hour and a half of my life that I will never get back.

I can't believe someone actually said this was better than Oculus. That's the only reason I made this account. Believe me Oculus is much much better. Do not waste your time on this film. I am an avid horror fan this is just pure garbage. It is poorly made, it's goes nowhere, there's no jumpy bits, it's not scary in the slightest. . . . . . Oculus is very clever and enticing this is plain stale. I was so disappointed and even more so that it is a British film. Must've been a very low budget and must've been thrown together within a week. If you like horror and like a scare this will only disappoint. Nothing interesting came from this film. It's very boring I should've turned off after 10 minutes. No joke, Sabrina the teenage witch is scarier than this.

The idea of having a camera looking at a Mirror 24/7 isn't actually a bad idea... Watching the first 20 minutes of this movie you will start to feel really uneasy at the idea that this movie is going to spend 90mins looking at a mirror with some crazy sh*t to follow.... Except it doesn't.... I don't understand the title MIRROR, because it has VERY little to do with it to be honest.... ...............SPOILER ALERT TO FOLLOW.....................The only thing that this movie has going for it is this.... It does make you wonder if the guy is schizophrenic and actually kills himself in the end..... (and kills the woman outside....) and therefore you wonder if any of the others existed.... how come he never calls the police or the ambulance when the accidents happen?...hmmm....
