Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreI remember watching this at night time (which was probably why I found it creepy) and found it quite good. Yeah, this movie isn't as good as Mirrors...but it's still pretty good. I have seen WAY worse horror movies than this, and I quite enjoyed the plot of the movie. I found it hard to understand why people didn't like it. It was a good movie with maybe a little too much gore with plenty of scares and patches of boredom. I don't exactly see how this movie has bad reviews, at all??? But yes, the first movie is definitely better and you should watch the first movie first...but definitely watch this movie if you have watched Mirrors. It will complete the story a little more. 6/10
View More"Mirrors 2" isn't exactly in the same league as its predecessor. Unlike the Kiefer Sutherland story, there's more or less no suspense. Not because its predictable (which it isn't), but simply because it's a sequel. Actually, this isn't a sequel. It's a rehash of the first one, except there's no mystery this time. I found this "sequel" fairly enjoyable, and I recommend to anyone not expecting too much out of it. Compared to the previous story, this one is a pale imitation, which is easy to see why it went straight to DVD. A worthy rental, but it's not worth spending 20 some dollars on.**1/2 out of ****
View MoreWhile driving on the road with his fiancée Kayla, Max Matheson has a serious car accident and they both die. However, Max is resuscitated and one year later he is an emotionally disturbed man with the guilty complex for the murder of his beloved fiancée and under psychological treatment with Dr. Beaumont.When his father Jack Matheson reopens the Mayflower Department Store in New Orleans, his security guard Henry Schow has an accident and Jack invites Max to be his replacement to help in his cure.Max has visions of a dead woman and he foresees death in the mirror.Soon Max finds that he has the ability to see Eleanor Reigns, an employee that is missing, and he contacts her sister Elizabeth Reigns to know details of her disappearance....Not counting the back-story of this,the movie is a virtual remake of the first. John Connor looks ill in this, and his acting isn't very good either.But if you liked the first,there is a lot of fun to be had here. It's not scary in the slightest, and the reflections are more camp than threatening, but it's still a fun direct to blu ray sequel.It's all very predictable with the revelation at the end, and for some reason it turns into the grudge, with the penultimate kill.It's another sequel that isn't necessary, but will get a lot of viewers just because of the title.
View MoreNot bad for a straight to video sequel (as many of them should be done this way) Good storyline that has star Nick Stahl after an horrific car accident in which along with his new fiancée die, only he is brought back, has Max (Stahl) seeing visions in the mirrors of the place where he is a night security guard. Finding out he is actually for seeing events that are gonna or are taking place of various co-workers demises. He spends his time at night investigating as to why he is seeing these things only to find out a ghost with a tragic past is looking for answers as well. Loads more gore then its predecessor makes this a pretty watchable sequel.
