Mirrors, with Kiefer Sutherland, was an okay horror movie. Not great, as the idea wasn't new, and Sutherland had some unrealistic moments, but not bad either. Worth renting. And the ending was pretty good, although the fight scene was a bit unrealistic (Sutherland is more durable than I would have expected).
The best "evil mirrors" story ever, in my opinion, is the novella "The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag" by Robert A. Heinlein.
3 out of 5 stars.
Plot Summary:
This creepy supernatural thriller from director Alexandre Aja stars Kiefer Sutherland as troubled security guard Ben Carson, a man who discovers malevolent spirits living within the mirrors of a fire-ravaged department store. When their murderous nature comes to light, Ben turns to his estranged wife (Paula Patton) to help him save their family -- and himself. The supporting cast includes Amy Smart and Jason Flemyng.
