Mirrors:
Story:
A security guard and his family are attacked and pursued by a vicious spirit that lives in mirrors.
Review:
For a horror film that had a unique idea, Mirrors certainly fell flat.
I don't know if it was the dull directing, many tiny gaps, or just overall lack of buildup in the scary moments, but Mirrors definitely wasn't scary. With that said, Mirrors did have one of Keifer Sutherland's best performances since 24. You could actually understand his character and how his character was suffering.
On an additional plus side, you get to see a new supernatural concept that is a refreshing break from the tedious and repetitive "hey look behind you there's a ghost!" formula that's been so popular with directors since the late 2000's.
Besides that, the majority of the cast came off as colorless and soulless, which is unfortunate, because that could have saved Mirrors.
Overall, Mirrors could have been better had more effort been invested in it from everyone involved.
I can't recommend Mirrors to anyone.
