Synopsis: An ex-cop and his family are the target of an evil force that is using mirrors as a gateway into their home.
I am a great fan of thriller and scary movies and I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Although you wont get truly “afraid” because it is a little far-fetched in my opinion. It holds great components to be a good scary movie: the already mysterious mirrors (in many cultures they believe mirrors steal your soul), great soundtrack, action, blood, and a lot of easy-scares.
What I mean by a lot of easy scares is that the entire movie theater jumped and squealed at least 6 or 7 times throughout. That’s a pretty good record for modern day movies to which we have become so easily accustomed and almost de-sensitized. Any move that actually gets my heart beating so fast is OK in my book.
Then there is also some good Gore scenes if that’s what you are looking for. Actually, it contains one of the MOST explicit, Gore scenes I have ever seen. I will admit I actually had to cover my eyes during most of it.
Spoiler alert!: The ending left me a little more bland. They really did a great job of rallying me up and in the last 2 minutes completely lost me in confusion and over-doing it.
