A remake of a Korean horror film, Mirrors is an honest B grade horror movie that does not aspire to be anything more than what it is. It continues this trend of remaking Asian horror films, and for good reason - there is a distinct style that the Asian horrors have that is unique in Hollywood - though with the glut that have come out lately, you probably can't really say that any more. The ending kind of resorts to typical American sledge hammer subtley, but for the most part it is a decent film. Probably more a DVD hire, though seeing it in the cinemas does help generate the immersive atmosphere that can't be replicated at home without a very nice home cinema setup.

Hey if you can find it on the Internet, its best to skip around. Only a few good parts but the concept of Mirrors is fairly interesting. The ending has a nostalgic feel to a different movie.

I m not one for horror so this one definitely had me jumping out of my seat the mystery exciting the plot was excellent, every minute had me wondering what was coming next and where we would end up after it happened. Not too much blood and gore, but the special effects were believable which is what you want. I did not see the twist in the end coming, which was kind of the point, and part of my brain still don’t understand how it happens but that s what sequels are for.

I thought this movie was pretty good. I know it's been before so many times. I had about three or four good death secens in it. I never saw the orignial, so I thought the ending was really good I did'nt even see it coming. I liked this movie.

The very ending twist was pretty good, but still not worth waiting for it.
If you think that this movie will make you scared of mirrors, trust me it wont.

  Actually a marked improvement over the plodding and confusing original.

  A minor chiller and major downer from the talented Alexandre Aja.

  Director Alexandre Aja (Haute Tension, The Hills Have Eyes) keeps the suspense tight for most of the movie, only to fritter it away in an overblown ending.

  An empty enterprise that provides a few moments of goofy fun, Mirrors reflects back nothing.

  This remake of a South Korean movie ultimately provides fewer scares than the average aging baby boomer feels every time they look into a reflective surface.

  The film looks to do for reflective surfaces what "Amityville 4" did for killer lamps.

  Softcore horror at best, failed allegory at worst, Mirrors reflects little beyond Splat Pack auteur Alexandre Aja's desire to push his genre into less punishing and more profitable territory.

  It's a mystery why Sutherland attached himself to this dour, muddled thriller.

  The gore is so badly done that it's borderline comical and poor lighting passes for "atmosphere."

  At nearly two hours, Mirrors is overlong for a summer horror toss-off, and the movie's three or four false endings make it seem even more of a haul.

  An effective sound design enhances several of the film's sudden frights, and Sutherland, who appears in almost every scene, is a predictably solid presence.
