It was now my turn to pick a movie to watch, and being that I like horror and chick flicks I decided to go with horror to not be so tough on my boyfriend. Either way it wasn't really fair because he doesn't like horror movies, but who said this was fair anyway! Mirrors featured Keifer Sutherland, not one of my personal favorites, but he was good in this movie. Keifer Sutherland is a retired detective who has a major drinking problem and is separated from his wife and kids, sleeping on his sisters couch. He takes the job of a security guard for the Mayflower in New York, an old department store that is a important land mark. However, he has no idea that the Mayflower to be a psychiatric ward.
His shifts are the graveyard shift, and after the second shift weird things start to happen, he sees things in the mirror, images of him hurting himself and he can actually feel it. For several weeks these strange events keep happening and Keifer Sutherland becomes obsessed. He begins to tell his wife and sister about these weird mirrors and no one believes him, obviously. He begins to realize that the mirrors are now coming after his family, so he desperately asks the mirrors what they want from him.
The mirror wants Eseker. Ana Eseker was a patient in the psychiatric ward before it became a department store, he eventually tracks her down in a nun convent in Pennsylvania. She explains to him that the doctor's treatment for many of the patients was he would strap them in a chair in a room full of mirrors and have them face their own image. The mirrors had collected many souls of the patients who had experienced the treatment. he begs her to come with him, but she resists several times. Eventually they face the mirrors and the curse is broken. However, in the end Keifer Sutherland realizes he broke the curse, but he too is trapped in the mirrors.
I really liked this movie. It sounds corny, but really it was good and I'm a tough critic. I compare all horror movies the The Exorcist, which is pretty hard to beat. I do recommend it though, it is one of the better recent horror movies I have seen.

This movie sounds really scary to me. I'm not sure why but I have always been a little scared of mirrors at night. Seeing how I have one in my room, I probably not get any sleep for a month if i saw this. The Exorcist is a good movie to measure scary movies to. I find that now lately movies are more like jumpy and not really scary, if you get what i mean. You probably have seen the Exorcism Of Emily Rose, what did you think of it? I find that The Exorcism Of Emily Rose was actually some what scary and not jumpy.
