Plot Summary:
From the director of "The Hills Have Eyes" comes "Mirrors," the terrifying story of troubled ex-cop who must save his family from an unspeakable evil that is using mirrors as a gateway into their home.
Ben Carson (Kiefer Sutherland) has seen better days. It's been nearly a year since the volatile detective was suspended from the NYPD for fatally shooting another undercover officer, an accident that not only cost him his job, but fueled the alcoholism and anger that has alienated his wife and kids and left him crashing on his sister's couch in Queens.
Desperate to pull his life together and reconnect with his family, Carson takes a job as a night watchman at the burned-out ruins of the Mayflower department store. What once was a symbol of prosperity and grandeur now sits decaying in the darkness like a rotting ghost ship, destroyed by a massive fire that devoured numerous innocent lives.
As Carson patrols the eerie, charred remains of the store, he begins to notice something sinister about the ornate mirrors that adorn the Mayflower walls. Reflected in the gigantic shimmering glass are horrific images that stun Carson.
Beyond projecting gruesome images of the past, the mirrors appear to be manipulating reality as well. When Carson sees his own reflection being tortured, he suffers the physical effects of his fractured visions. Suddenly the troubled ex-cop finds himself battling his personal demons and the ones that have hijacked his reflection, tormenting him with convulsions, spontaneous bleeding and near suffocation.
His sympathetic but skeptical sister Angela (Amy Smart) dismisses these bizarre "nightmares" as a consequence of his stress and guilt over the accidental shooting, but Carson's estranged wife Amy (Paula Patton), a no-nonsense NYPD medical examiner, is less forgiving. Her husband's increasingly erratic behavior frightens her, pushing his family farther away - and, she fears, it's putting their children in danger.
But a much deadlier threat looms, trapped within the mirrors and reflective surfaces that pervade their everyday life. As Carson investigates the mysterious disappearance of a Mayflower security guard and its possible connection to his ghastly visions, he realizes that a malevolent, otherworldly force is using reflections as a gateway to terrorize him and his family.
If he has any hope of saving his wife and children from a horrifying death, Carson must somehow uncover the truth behind the mirrors - and convince Amy to help him battle the greatest evil he has ever faced.

This is actually a remake of a South Korean film titled "Into The Mirror". It starred the main bad guy from Oldboy. To be honest, i really didn't think much of the original. But, i'll watch this one anyway because i think Sutherland is great.

I think this movie looks really awesome and suspencefull. Something different. I love Sutherland, he's an over acter with his screaming all the time, but that's what makes him good. I can't wait to see it.

Okay, I have been VERY skeptical of movies this year in terms of Horror. I was afraid Hollywood lost is sense of how to scare the **** out of people. . . BUT this movie TOTALLY RULES this year in that category. This movie was gory, thrilling, and really actually is a horror movie people can see as a reality.
and OMG the ending is a twist that will make you go HOLY CRAP!!
I give it a 4 out of 4 stars!
"scary to the end, and a definite winner!"
You want to be scared then watch this.
