  Review by Ian West ★★ 1

  This felt ripe for a revisit because I'm an optimist and I like Aja’s work but this is a prime example of squandered potential… a director on the rise coming off arguably his best film, an eerie atmospheric setting (burnt down abandoned department store), and an interesting premise involving something so simple yet effective... Mirrors.

  Starts out strong (despite the stock 'down and out ex cop' trope) with few nicely executed scenes/jump scares in the abandoned store, but as more time passes this thing just starts to flounder. We get a few pulse raising moments halfway through (that bathtub death is fantastic) and some cool spooky mirror shit but in the long run I couldn't help but feel like this…

  Review by Sam Thompson ★★½ 4

  It's alright I guess. Besides a couple of memorable scenes, and believe me they are super memorable, this is a pretty forgettable affair. Just a giant meh that I won't return to you know. It feels like a concept that could be done so much better.
  Whatever.

  Review by Ava ☭ ★★½

  1. The main characters name is Ben Carson
  2. I don't think this movie had a middle section because if it did I don't remember it and I literally just finished it
  3. There's a really fucking cool kill scene in a bathtub that brought me back to The Golden Days Of J Horror and I almost started crying
  4. I want to call Alexandre Aja my favorite director even though he kinda sucks

  Review by 1313: Tony the Terror ★★★½ 2

  So this movie is so completely stupid that it circles back around to being kinda great! Like not so great that I’m willing to shower it with 4 or 5 stars, but just a really ridiculous and lovable hot mess.

  The whole concept with mirrors is a good one, but overall I preferred it in Poltergeist III when it wasn’t accompanied by a bunch of cgi effects. Actually, the best part of the movie is the stretch that takes place in Keifer and Paula’s house with the water running everywhere because it goes full tilt Poltergeist III even though it feels like an entirely different movie from the rest of Mirrors. They should have taken that part out and filmed a whole new movie…

  Review by Graham ★★★½ 6

  Clearly the problem here is the inability of these people to pronounce the word mirror properly. No it’s not a ‘meerrrr’, and that perhaps is where it all started. All the vowels got together in a secret meeting at the monastery and thought ‘OK, that's enough… it’s time to hit back’.

  I haven’t had much sleep. Can you tell?

  Ok, so I’ll just put it out there that this is an absolute banger. Mirrors is a film that starts strong and retains a sense of danger throughout, and then, boom! That one scene, with the girl in the bath… wowsers, that shit was gnarly.

  "What a pain in the glass."

  Kiefer Sutherland is seeing things from behind the mirrors,…

  Review by King #adoptdontshop ★★★

  Mirrors is best remembered for that bathtub scene where a girl ripped her jaw in half. The plot is fresh, and there're actually good, effective build-ups as director Alexandre Aja delivered original scare tactics and never before seen jumpscares. But this supernatural horror got less and less sensible (some minor plotholes) and the cast's acting strength comes and goes, that you'd wish the Big Bad to just jam a shard on Kiefer Sutherland's skull and end it all.

  Any mirror is scary if you're ugly enough.

  Review by Matthew L. Brady ★★

  Well that's me done looking at mirrors.

  This movie can be scary and gross with the blood and gore, but it dose have it's dull and flat moments that sometimes made it hard to watch at times.

  Review by Sam G ★★★ 2

  From a director I actually really like, even when it comes to the trashy yet carnage filled fun of Piranha 3D, comes an intriguing thriller/supernatural horror and atleast has Kiefer Sutherland to hold this one together. Did have some cool ideas tho but kinda falters with some of the execution and brings us to a more lackluster finale. Plus I never thought I’d make this comparison but holy shit, that jaw dropping……😉 moment, competes with the one from Brightburn and made me jump outta my seat!! (That’s going on the Slay List fashoooo). Didn’t even realize it was a remake either so now I gotta eventually make my way to the OG Korean version. 6.2/10🪞

  Review by Grooveman ★★ 2

  A mostly terrible and pretty lame horror film with brutal CG effects. I miss practical effects. I really do.
