It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I'm not totally agreed to categorize Into the Mirror as a pure horror movie. In my opinion, it is more of a thriller movie, with horror elements within it. It does have a 'ghostly' appearance and 'supernatural' effect like 'those 'deviating' images in the mirror. It is slow-paced movie, with investigations involving cops with hundreds of dialogue lines, more of a drama. And the eerie tension is noticeably below average, only at some points where homicide occurred, and it was not much, I notice there were only four deaths in this movie, including death of the antagonist near the final scene. That's why I prefer to call this movie as a thriller, not a pure horror movie.The idea for the movie was original, it was quite good. Instead of focusing storyline on haunted house, hotel, etc, the director decided to take different approach into making a horror movie (though I think he did not make a quite impression of a horror one). Into the Mirror tells the story of a series of mysterious deaths occurred in a supermarket, all which involving mirrors. Finally it was revealed that all victims were murdered by their own mirror images. And there was a clumsy cop trying to investigate the murders as he was still traumatized for carelessly causing the death of his own partner while held as hostage by a group of crooks. The investigation became more complicated as it unwrapped some peculiar facts like the concept of 'another world behind the mirrors' (well this one is more of a fantasy, world behind mirrors, eh?), 'a ghost seek for revenge', and 'twin sisters'. The plot was then rather predictable: the task of the cop was to help the 'undead' looking for the murderer.The opening scene itself was excellent. Scene of an employer trapped inside the supermarket after it was closed looking for exit, and then she was killed when standing in front of a mirror. A decent introduction to the movie's storyline.However, despite the somewhat good ending (i.e. the aforementioned revenge was successful), the ending was rather vague. Unlike the self-explanatory opening scene, it is quite possible that the ending left you many unsolved and confusing questions. It was told that the protagonist had actually died in the real world, and now he lived in the mirror world. Little bit confusing, right? Ah yes, maybe the director did not want to leave a 'pure' good ending, instead leaving you with questions, or else, forced you to watch the movie over and over again to understand the ending.Generally, while not the best movie ever made, Into The Mirror is still worth a try (or rent, if you are reluctant to buy). As a horror movie, it still lacked requirements to be a good one. But the unique story has its own strong point. Maybe it's so strong that it interested Hollywood to remake their own version of this movie (of course with more terrors and gory scenes, Hollywood-style (Mirrors starring Kiefer Sutherland anyone?). Yeah, another Asian flick to be remade by Hollywood!). If you like horror movies with non-stop terror, do not watch this. You will be boring by its slow-paced story and hellishly long dialogue lines. But if you are willing to be more patient, maybe you will find hidden gem somewhere between the scenes (in which, too bad, I mostly didn't). Not a special movie that I will remember for a long time though, but it is not that bad. Give the mirrors a chance.

6.2 votes equal to fragile. And 'now clear that this site has a strong antipathy towards the horror film. If this movie had been in Stephen King would have had more. For me to go to pieces is the comment by Aaron1375. AARON STILL TU, quache distant relative of SHARON? Restless character already seen previously. Why make comparisons between SILENT HILL AND MIRRORS? E '100 times better this movie. Silent hill comes from a video. Do you have anything like the original film plot. There are mediocre film recited by actors who have high ratings as we are beautiful film recited by people less known. This site is so. In this movie there is a coup scene that leaves us with mouth open the others kind of Nicole Kidman. But since this movie and played by Sutherland takes one vote less. that's disgusting. Arise THE VOTE!

The last few years we've exposed to a lot of Asian horror movies, from Takashii Miike movies to Korean masterpieces as "a tale of two sisters", most of these movie share one single characteristic, they are incredibly aesthetic.....this one doesn't fail in this field, except for a few little mistakes, the movie is beautifully shot unfortunately it's not enough to make a good movie....while for example "audition", aforementioned "a tale of two sisters", or ab-normal beauty (my favorite three movies of the kind) this one lacks substance....it seems everything was made just to get beautiful mirror effects....the story itself is full of cliché's, and while it still works the first 30 minutes, the next hour I surprised myself at wondering when this would finally end, the ending was quite a huge disappointment too (even though I won't give spoilers about it, let's just say it didn't work for me) I give this 5 out of ten points, and I feel I'm being quite mild....

Despite being unsure what it is, Into the Mirror succeeds in spinning an entertaining yarn.Ji-tae Yu is Woo Yeong-min, a former policeman who's been reduced to security guard for his uncle's company since a hostage incident 1 year prior resulted in the death of a man as a consequence of a mistake from Min. He opted to shoot the aggressor and missed, shooting his reflection by mistake. The occurrence left him completely traumatised and entirely miserable, and unable to look himself in the mirror.However, when 2 employees of the company die in extremely mysterious circumstances, Min's former partner on the force, Heo Hyeon-su joins the investigation and strange goings on continue.Part supernatural chiller, part cop drama, part psychological drama, part surreal mystery, Into the Mirror is very much an eclectic mix of different styles of movie. It without question succeeds in the basic discipline of any film, that of concertedly engaging the viewer's attention for the duration, and it does this thanks to a number of elements:First of all the cinematography is spot on, and is extremely good at facilitating the supernatural psychology. Aided by a director who seems to know exactly what to show us, each scene is smartly captured, with many clever uses of mirrors. Many occasions will call for your attention on more than one thing, and the mystery of wondering what, if any, wrongness will occur is well realised. Furthermore, the acting is surprisingly decent for an Asian movie. As ignorant as that may sound, I have viewed many Asian films and the acting is uniformly rather bland. Even though westerners do not understand the language, emotion et al can still come across on celluloid and Asian movies are often left wanting here. However, Into the Mirror is more than decent in this area for once, with good performances from a fair few players. It certainly adds to the experience when it's not just the story we watch for.There lies another strength. As touched on earlier the movie is downright entertaining, and relies on a pretty strong script and effective narrative. This film is never boring, aided and abetted by a script which never has vacuous moments and empty sequences. Everything is there for a reason.However, the big weakness is the overriding suspicion that the film really doesn't know what it is trying to be. With so many styles mixed together, it comes across as more of a salad bowl than melting pot. Weird goings-on akin to the spooky occurrences in movies like Ring seem a little out of joint in the company of a police drama and crime mystery.However, if you are willing to forgive this lack of harmony, like I, then you can overlook it and accept the movie for what it is: An entertaining yarn with enough going for it to keep you watching.One last flaw though is the ending. Obviously I am not going to give it away, but the problem with it is it seems far too ambitious, and not a tad confusing. I was left not so much baffled as to what was going on, but what it actually meant overall. This took the shine off perhaps a little, but it was still a fine picture overall and I would still recommend it.
