With some gruesome deaths,great acting performances and interesting and original story,mirrors had everything to keep the viewer entertained but,unfortunately,the movie falls in the classical clichés.

There is something inherently scary about mirrors anyway - the pristine reflection of our own visage can unsettle anyone who goes to the bathroom in the middle of the night and forgets how they look. Then add the ability of your reflection to act beyond your control, and to kill you, and that is a strong plot point.

It is given further grounding by steadily revealing something that people used to believe, that reflective objects or surfaces, such as blood or water, were considered a conduit to the spiritual world in ancient times. The acting is great and there is more to the atmosphere than just "bad" lighting. The sets are terrific, and wonderfully done. Overall I think this should have received much better reviews, but often critics are not very adept at reviewing the horror genre.… Expand

Excellent movie, Kiefer Sutherland was great, the story slacked a little near the end, but otherwise fantastic!

This movie was good, not GREAT! But good, I thought Kiefer was pretty good. And that jaw-ripping part scared the crap out of me!

And that jaw-ripping part scared the crap out of me! Even with Amy Smart nude, I still couldn't keep my eyes off the jaw, instead of where other people were paying attention to.

Very good movie. Not as good as The hills have eyes yet there were some parts that were pretty creepy. The jaw part was unexpected but I thought it added the gore to the movie.

Outstanding and gripping supernatural thriller. Solid performances for Kiefer Sutherland and Paula Patton complimented the roller-coaster ride of exhilarating special effects from Director Aja. The fascinating back story ties the present to Outstanding and gripping supernatural thriller. Solid performances for Kiefer Sutherland and Paula Patton complimented the roller-coaster ride of exhilarating special effects from Director Aja. The fascinating back story ties the present to the past nicely and one is kept on the edge of their seat while searching for an explanation. Absolute goosebump material and definitely one of the more memorable movies of the genre in recent years.… Expand

I totally loved this movie, it was so freaky.. especially the little girl Anna when she was possessed and then when she was old.. I dont know why ppl always give it a low rating.. im sure they'd never even be able to plot a good movie.

In this case, the film brings a goodThis film starts very well and takes advantage of good horror premises that, however, are nothing really new: other films have already used mirrors, and their supernatural and psychological connections. In this case, the film brings a good ghost story involving the mirrors of an old luxury department store. However, director and screenwriter Alexandre Aja was not able to give us a satisfactory conclusion to a film that starts so well.

The script, really, starts off in the best way, introducing us to the main character, a former New York policeman who killed a person in a shootout, getting psychologically shaken and abandoning the police. With alcoholism, the end of his career and marriage, the unwanted post as a night guard in an abandoned building is unavoidable. And that's how we got to know the Mayflower, a multi-story luxury department store that was badly damaged in a fire. It won't be long before he discovers that the building has a past and that there's something dark that seeks to do evil through the store's mirrors.

The biggest problem I found with this movie is the insipid way it ends. In fact, by going through the archaic clichés involving psychiatric hospitals, the film completely disappoints us and introducing a nun into the story was even stranger. I don't even want to talk about the open ending, bad enough to make us want to slap the film's director. There are, however, good horror scenes, quite macabre deaths to make us widen our eyes and a good job of suspense and atmosphere that give the film a pleasant tension.

The cast is led by Kiefer Sutherland, an actor capable enough for the task, but who, however, does not go beyond the average. Even so, he is the best actor present and the one that stands out the most. Jason Flemyng and Julian Glover barely appear, Paula Patton and Amy Smart are boring and seem to be there only because it takes a good-looking actress or two for the movie to work.

Technically, the film displays very good and well-executed cinematography, which takes full advantage of the decaying building (located in Bucharest, capital of Romania) and the darkness that reigns inside. The film also has good scenarios and an effective soundtrack, although not memorable.… Expand
