"All Smoke and Mirrors, basically". DVD.
Added 11/17/2009
The trailer looked like the film might be interesting, but after viewing the entire film, it appears not to be the case. The movie is quite predictable, and doesn't really go anywhere, the visual effects are no big deal as well.

A decent horror flick
Added 10/12/2009
I rented this movie after it was recommended to me through the Netflix recommendation system, and for the most part I was very satisfied.
Kiefer Sutherland plays an ex cop who becomes confronted by daemons that live in mirrors of a burnt-down New York department store. As they threaten him and his family, he uses all of his detective skills to destroy these sinister forces. The movie is well paced and well acted, with the music score and visuals that greatly enhance the whole experience. The twist ending also makes you rethink many aspects of the movie, which comes as an added bonus.
If you are looking for an entertaining horror flick and are not too squeamish about the cutting/dismembering scenes then give this movie a chance. It may not be the most outstanding horror film you'll ever see, but it's certainly worth watching.

Jaw rippin' good fun!
Added 10/3/2009
I remember being excited about this movie when I saw the previews. Nothing like seeing Kiefer Sutherland turn all goofy looking in a mirror. "just washing my face, ahh I'm retarded looking now!" The movie reminds me a little bit of the ring. A lot of newspaper rummaging which eventually leads to a trip out to the country. Nothing says horror like a country barn with a bunch of yokels. The scene that steals the movie though is the bathtub scene. If you haven't seen it let me just say it gets pretty gnarly. I didn't care too much for the ending though which is why I will only give it 3 stars. The ending was kinda lacking in my opinion. Lacking, that is a definitive conclusion. While I would not recommend buying it is a worthy rental.

DECENT HORROR FILM WITH A GOOD CAST, BUT...........!
Added 9/27/2009
'Mirrors' is a well made film with a good cast and pacing. The film has some decent scares and a creepy setting, but the ending is a little disappointing. Keifer Sutherland in yet another Jack Bauer type role is convincing as a suspended cop who takes a job as a security guard in an old fancy department store with some creepy history. The department store had a horrific fire and makes a very eerie setting with its burnt mannequins, grand hallways, ceilings and statues. It's not a great film, but it's better than the average horror garbage out there.
