Mirrors

    "Mirrors," the remake of the South Korean film "Into the Mirrors," was surprisingly cohesive in its approach to shocking its audience in this horror / thriller. Director Alexandre Aja incorporated a few twists and plenty of action provided courtesy of the evil spirits brigade to keep the viewer on the edge of his seat and willing to finish the movie at 111 minutes of runtime.

    Keifer Sutherland plays former NYPD cop Ben Carson who, as a night security guard in a burned out department store built above and around an old mental hospital, becomes engaged in a quest to end the reign of the demonic mirrors upon the premises. After her discovers that the demons can jump from those mirrors to others off premises that he and his family uses, he gets serious involved in this multi decade long mystery. The macabre is present as these demons are relentless in their pursuit of purveying evil in large measure.

    If you truly enjoy the fright rush of truly thrilling horror, this movie may be of interest, but be warned: The dialogue and the acting is at times are uneven, irrespective that the movie provides a measure of entertainment for those inclined to this genre.

    Rated R. Released on DVD January 13, 2009.
