Inconsistency and listless plot make this K-horror remake a less-than-frightening time at the movies. Read critic reviews

Movie Info

In a bid to pull his shattered life back together, troubled ex-cop Ben Carson (Kiefer Sutherland) takes a job as a security guard at the burned out ruins of a once-prosperous department store. As Ben patrols the charred hallways, he begins to see horrifying images in the ornate mirrors that still adorn the walls. Ben soon realizes that a malevolent force is using the mirrors to gain entrance into this world, threatening the lives of his wife (Paula Patton) and children.

Audience Reviews for Mirrors

Aug 06, 2012

Pretty good and entertaining. Sutherland literally plays the role like Jack Bauer, so it's a lot of fun to watch all the crazy stuff he does, especially once his character starts to become unhinged by the supernatural events of the story. The ending of Mirrors is pretty cool and a has a nice twist, even if it does kind of feel that story is somewhat unresolved by it.

Kiefer Sutherland just can't get out of the 24HR Role, what ever movie you see him in you see his role as the maniac with a gun who has a badge, That being said in this movie his acting was as bad as ever but the story line of this movie was very creepy, not many movies that deal with horror bother me but this one did, I haven't looked at my reflection since. About a hotel in NYC that burned and is now guarded by private security, the mirrors left over from an hospital are possessed, spine chilling worth 4 stars for story line.

It was fairly a decent movie but the ending made absolutely no sense at all.

Scary but fairly original and really boring, was switching off now and again. It's ok!
