Mirrors (2008)

Director: Alexander Aja
Release Date: August 15, 2008
Genre: Horror / Mystery / Thriller
MPAA: Rated R
20th Century Fox





The ORB's take:
Surprisingly decent, worth a dvd rental.

Movie Review:
A remake of a 2003 Korean horror film Geoul Sokeuro, this flick is actually somewhat entertaining. Kiefer Sutherland, aka Jack Bauer plays an ex-cop who has marital problems and lives with his sister. He takes a job as a night watchman at an adandoned downtown retail store. While walking throughout the store on his shift he finds out there is something mysterious in the building and it uses the mirrors to haunt its victims. Unlike most typical horror films this one actually has a plot and allows you to stay focused throughout the movie, instead of just waiting for the next victim to get hacked. This movie will make you jump, and you will definately make you think twice about looking in the mirror at night right before you go to bed. Its worth a rental and a watch!

What to Watch For: What you see in the mirror isn't always what the mirror wants you to see.
