Mirrors (2008) 6/10

Starring : Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Amy Smart
Director : Alexandre Aja
Running Time : 107 mins

Ex-cop Ben Carson (Sutherland) takes a job as a night watchman at an abandoned department store, but soon finds his life and that of those around him in danger from malevolent spirits that live inside the mirrors of the store, and they begin stalking him and his family with the simple intent of ending their lives.

This had such great potential, but the writers and directors have clearly decided to go for the violent and gory aspect rather than making this genuinely creepy. The deaths are far too over the top for this style of film and, as an example, the death of Any Smart's character would have been far more effective if she had been forced to hold her mouth open while holding her dead under the bath water rather than have the demon basically crack her jaw off. I'd recommend looking for the original, Into The Mirror, before watching this nonsensical tosh - you'll just be sorely disappointed and confused by the ending.
