- Daniel Gustavsson11 oktober 2024Good story, good acting. Really well done movie.
- Nicholas Florio12 december 2025Horror isn't usually my jam but this film had a great storyline and the acting was good. I'm mad that it didn't turn out the way I wanted but it was a 5 star movie nonetheless...
- Kevin Wertz31 augustus 2025Decent horror flick with a couple good jump scares. Interesting concept. Worth a watch.
- Eric “Kold Shadow” Winston14 augustus 2025Masterpiece of Cinema that legitimately challenges our perceptions of time, space, relativity and existentialism. 👏👏👏
- UniqueMovies Deb H14 mei 2025OUTSTANDING!
- jackmeat3 december 2025My quick rating - 6.4/10. Well-made and acted out film that includes your scares, some misdirection, and nice flashback material into the plot fairly seamlessly. It's nice to sit back and watch a movie that intends to scare and make you think without trying to give a gorefest. As you all know, I love me some brutal violence, but it isn't always necessary. This movie's focus is on a mirror that basically encompasses and possesses those who gaze into it. When a family is entranced by the mirror, and the parents are killed (I'll leave it at that to not spoil too much,) the kids who witness the deaths are now the focal point of discovering what really happened. The daughter, who is now 23, purchases the mirror to finally find out the truth, back in the house they grew up in. Karen Gillan does an admirable job acting as a completely obsessed young adult(at times, she was just as creepy as the supernatural parts). Kaylie (Gillan) picks up her younger brother(played by Brenton Thwaites), who was recently released from a mental institution (you will see why) to unravel the mystery. Through various tests and evidence collections, the two embark on proving the mirror holds the evil/spirit that caused the deaths of their parents, among countless others, before. The movie uses flashbacks to when they were children to explain how they survived the first encounter. The seamless transitions of these do well to further the story and keep you captivated with the plot. The slight amounts of blood are used in a way that makes you cringe more than be grossed out. I have to give the editors props for keeping these transitions coherent (slightly unbelievable at times, but it is a movie) and help keep things moving until the end. All and all, a very welcome addition to the genre. Worth the watch.
- CineMono29 oktober 2025Couldn't get past the lead actresses performance. Rather forced and an oddly unappealing approach. Her resentment read bratty and it irked me enough to pull me out of the story. Unfortunately I didn't recover and only made it about 30 mins in. I didn't even get to Jared Harris whom I always enjoy.
- tellum17 augustus 2025Very underrated psychological horror.
- ꧁༒Sulaiman Khan༒꧂2 juli 2025Mind blown 🤯
- รҡ૨אρƭเ∂17 februari 2025Alright if your lookin for cheap thrills. Visual and modern looking but the story lacks depth. You do have a couple of those typical horror movie moments where the actors make completely unrealistic decisions. IE: Runnimg into woods or hiding in a basement. All that being said somehow the film still manages to maintain a fairly authentic, scary vibe.
- Elkuco27 oktober 2025So disappointed. This was awful
- Mort Ravencrowz27 oktober 2025Good movie
- Stairwaytothestars2 augustus 2025It could have been better.
- Niztradamus10 juli 2025It's fine... Nothing special and the description gives you pretty much exactly what you should expect.
