Download Mirror Horror Movie

Mirrors is a 2008 American supernatural horror film[3] directed by Alexandre Aja, starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, and Amy Smart. The film was first titled Into the Mirror, but the name was later changed to Mirrors.[4] Filming began on May 1, 2007, and it was released in American theaters on August 15, 2008.

The film was originally scripted as a straightforward remake of the 2003 South Korean horror film Into the Mirror. However, once Aja was brought on board and read the script, he was dissatisfied with the particulars of the original film's story. He decided to retain the original film's basic idea involving mirrors, and to incorporate a few of its scenes, but otherwise crafted a new story and script for his version of the movie.[5] A sequel titled Mirrors 2 was released in 2010.

A security guard runs through a subway station until he enters a room he cannot escape and starts begging his reflection in a mirror for his life. His reflection uses a shard of glass to slice into its own throat; the wound reflects upon the real security guard's body, killing him.

Ben Carson, a suspended police detective, begins his first day as a night security guard at the Mayflower, a luxury department store gutted by a fire and shuttered five years prior. The building still contains numerous mirrors from the store.

On Ben's first night of patrol, he finds a mirror that appears covered with handprints, but only on the reflected side of the glass. He sees an open door in the reflection while it is actually closed. Over time, Ben begins to see more intense visions, which he initially shrugs off as hallucinations. He soon finds the wallet of Gary Lewis, the previous night guard (from the beginning of the film) who supposedly killed himself. Inside is a note that says "Esseker". After noticing the absence of blood on the mirror shard in Gary's crime photos, Ben is convinced that the mirrors make people do things to themselves that they are not actually doing.

Meanwhile, Ben's sister, Angie, is killed by her reflection as it grips its jaw and slowly pulls its mouth apart, causing her to bleed profusely. Ben is distraught when he finds her body. In anger, he attempts to destroy the mirrors at the Mayflower, but they are impervious to damage. He demands to know what the mirrors want, and cracks appear on one of the mirrors, spelling out the word "ESSEKER".

Ben enters the flooded basement of the Mayflower and finds a small sign stating "Psychiatric Studies" and "St. Matthew's Hospital" underneath. He moves to the site of the leak and begins pulling at the tiles and brick of the wall and finds a room with a chair surrounded by mirrors beyond it, a Psychomanteum. Realizing that the Mayflower was built on the site of an earlier hospital,Ben asks his police friend Larry Byrne to help him locate the patient-employee manifest for the hospital. Larry finds the name Anna Esseker, a patient of the psychiatric hospital. She was twelve years old at the time and died in a mass suicide.

Ben locates Anna Esseker's childhood home, and discovers that as a child she was violent and uncontrollable, and diagnosed with severe schizophrenia. She was taken in by a doctor, Dr. Kane from St. Matthew's Hospital, who believed that she had a rare personality disorder. His treatment was to confine Anna to a chair surrounded by mirrors, believing this would cure her disorder by forcing her to confront her own reflection. Ben is told by Anna's brother Robert that when she returned, apparently cured, strange things started to happen with the mirrors in their home. As a result, her family sent her to a convent, Saint Augustine's Monastery, where mirrors are forbidden.

Ben visits the convent and finds Anna alive and well, who explains that she was actually possessed by a demon, which was drawn from her and became trapped in the mirrors. She explains that it collects the souls of those it kills and if she were to return, it would make it possible for the demon to be brought back into the mortal world. She refuses to go back.

Meanwhile, Amy discovers that Mikey is missing at home, and a thin reflective layer of water is completely covering the floor. After putting her daughter Daisy in a safe closet, she finds Michael using a knife to scrape the paint from the mirrors. Amy tries to stop him, but he escapes, obviously possessed.

Having threatened her at gunpoint, Ben returns with Anna to the Mayflower and straps her into the chair in the Psychomanteum. Back at Ben's house Michael is suddenly pulled through the water on the floor by his reflection and begins to drown. At the Psychomanteum the lights begin to flicker and the building begins to shake as the demons in the mirrors are released. They repossess Anna and all the mirrors in the Mayflower explode. Simultaneously, Michael is released from the demon's grip and Amy is able to pull him to safety. The repossessed Anna then attacks Ben, who manages to kill her by igniting a nearby gas line, setting off a huge explosion. The old building starts to collapse violently, and Ben is trapped under the ceiling while trying to escape.

Ben pulls himself out of the rubble and stumbles out of the building. Policemen and firemen are everywhere in the street, and a body is seen being taken in a bag by paramedics, but nobody notices Ben. He looks at the older security guard's name tag and sees it is written backward, realizing everything is in reverse (like in a mirror). He comes upon a mirrored surface in the city and fails to see his own reflection as he reaches out to touch it. He realizes that he died in the rubble and is trapped in the mirror world: his hand appears as a handprint on the glass surface in the living world.

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 14% of critics gave the film positive reviews based on 87 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads "Inconsistency and listless plot make this horror remake a less-than-frightening time at the movies."[19] Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 35 out of 100, based on 13 reviews.[20]

From the harrowing anxiety audiences get whenever a medicine cabinet is opened to the superstitious fear linked to urban myths and curses, mirrors in horror cinema are expertly used to set audiences on edge and deliver genuine scares. Mirrors in storytelling can often be used to symbolize vanity or a sinister other self, depict eerie gateways into alternate realities, or can simply be used to hint at possession or a mounting evil lurking in plain sight.

Whatever evil they may represent, mirrors, even more than dolls and clowns, are among the creepiest symbols of evil in horror films. Horror then takes this uneasy feeling and fleshes it out into tales that millions of people all over the world may come to dread. From trapped souls to nightmares, evil monsters emerging from the mirror, scary reflections, and vengeful mirrors, films such as Oculus, Dark Mirror, and Mirrors, among others, have done an excellent job of instilling fear of mirrors in the hearts of many.

From creepy children's dolls to crazed dogs and possessed cars, horror movies have always been ambitious when it comes to sourcing their scares. Mirrors can be just as effective, sometimes showing more than a mere reflection. Whether they're about curses, urban myths, or portals to alternate realities, there are a surprising amount of horror movies about mirrors that work as genuinely scary films perfect for the spooky season.

Mirrors follows an ex-cop, Carson (Kiefer Sutherland) and his family as they become targets of an evil force that uses mirrors to gain entrance into the real world. As his family begins to see some odd reflections of themselves in the mirror, Carson realizes he needs to do something to save his family.

The savagery of these haunted mirrors imposes itself upon viewers from the opening scene, followed by other grisly deaths and several other disturbing scenes that heighten the fear and panic. The jaw-ripping scene is sure to stick with many for a long time and make them wary of looking in the mirror. With its ominous tone, iconic imagery, and well-executed plot, Mirrors is an underrated horror film from the 2000s that upholds the creepy legend of horror mirrors.

While the film probably tackled more ambitious twists than it needed to, resulting in a confusing and underwhelming ending, it still serves as a fine example of how effective mirrors can be in horror narratives. Bloody Mary utilizes good sound design and stellar ghostly effects to be an effective ghost horror movie, if not an entirely unforgettable one.

As a relatively low-budget horror from the 2000s, Dark Mirror outperformed expectations with intriguing ideas tied to Chinese legends about the spirits of the dead and how they can be held within glass surfaces. The film follows a photographer and her family as they move into a new house with a dark history tied to a renowned artist and his family who mysteriously disappeared.

There isn't much in the way of blood to enrich the horror on display, but the film's creepy use of mirrors and the teasing of an alternate and deadly world trapped within them is effectively chilling. The jumpy moments when disturbing reflections appear are adequately striking, but the movie finds its best strength in its enticing exploration of a refreshing idea of haunted house horror.

A Canadian psychological thriller, Look Away is an interesting blend of twisted reflections and adolescent angst following a high schooler whose life is uprooted when her evil mirror image takes over her life. Maria (India Eisley) is a timid student and a bullied outcast at her school. When she swaps places with Airam, her sinister, more assertive and manipulative mirror self's attitude soon reaps deadly rewards.

Look Awayhas interesting ideas about identity and deftly molds them into a horror narrative rife with revenge antics and engulfing mystery. While it probably didn't lean into those thematic ideas with the conviction many would have liked, it still boasts an intriguing and rewarding story that features a disorienting use of mirrors as its central element. ff782bc1db
