Format:Blu-ray
When i saw this last year i had no idea it was a remake.I found it to be one of the best horror films ive seen for ages.Set in a burned out department store, its dark and rather creepy and it is also very bloody from the opening scene and not for the easily disturbed. The cinema release was cut to get a 15 rating so what you get here is the full version hence the 18 rating. The casting of Kiefer Sutherland aims the movie away from the tweenie age group and he is as usual extremely good. Having not seen the original i cant compare the two movies but this version is that rare thing nowadays, a good ,well made horror.You really wont want to look in a mirror after seeing this. Should look a treat on Blu Ray as well.

Format:DVD
In `Mirrors' Keifer Sutherland stars as an ex-NYPD cop who is now working as a night watchman at a department store that had been burnt down years before. Within no time he begins to see haunting images in the mirrors and hear terrifying screams from the floors above. He then realises why the previous guard had such an obsession with mirrors and why he has gone missing.
At first this film seemed brilliant - very creepy with an extremely atmospheric premise, great acting from Sutherland, showing that he's still good away from 24, and a fairly decent storyline. There's plenty of eerie moments as well and genuine frights and some very graphic scenes for the gore fans. So far so good! Then just past the halfway point, the plot goes downhill drastically and the CGI kicks in and it real does spoil it all, which is such a shame as it was quite a promising film to begin with. The ending is just ridiculous too.
Overall I definitely wouldn't recommend buying this film but if you get the chance to see it or rent it, it is worth a watch. I just feel so let down after such a brilliant first half that I can't bring myself to give this film more than 2 and a half stars.

Format:Blu-ray
I really liked this horror movie. I have been somewhat disappointed with American horror movies f sometime and prefer foreign movies, lots of which have been remade into poor American re-makes. I see from another reviewer that this too is a re-make, but this is a thrilling and chilling tale.
To be frank Keifer Sutherland isn't going to put his name to any rubbish and this horror grabs you from the start. There are some real jumpy parts and the story holds your attention to the end, which has an unexpected twist. I am usually pretty good at seeing twists but this one was very unexpected.
The Blu-Ray has a great directors commentary - the first I have ever listened to all through. And on the Blu-ray you get the 18 version of the film not the 15 cinema edition, though since I have not seen the 15 version, regret I cannot tell you the difference.
If you like jumpy, unexpected horror then watch this and never look into a mirror the same way again.

Nice to Jack back
Just watch it for the end scenes, Kiefer suddenly becomes Jack Bauer once more as he chases down the possessed with true 24 style. We even get an occasional 'damn it'.
