Mirrors

What is it that scares you most? Is it an ancient mansion in the middle of nowhere? Or a grove of trees where darkness reigns supreme? How about a cemetery in the dead of the night? But will you be afraid of the mirrors and everything that casts a reflection?

Ben Carson (Kiefer Sutherland) is a disgraced NYPD detective who is relieved from the duty after killing a man in a shooting. An out-of-the-work alcoholic, he takes up the job of a night watchman at Mayflower Department Store – or whatever is left of it after a deadly fire partially destroyed it years ago. But a boring job is the least of his problems. His marriage is on the rocks forcing him to stay with his younger sister.

Ben is trying to mend his ways and sees this job as the next step in that direction. He, however, is puzzled by the squeaky clean mirrors throughout the ruins. Apparently, his predecessor was obsessed about keeping them clean. Ben discovers that there is more to these mirrors than meets the eye when he starts seeing images in them. Needless to say, no one believes him – not even his ex-wife.

All hell breaks loose when his sister is murdered in a grisly fashion in her bathtub. And Ben has to run from pillar to post in search of the person whose name is repeated over and over again by the horrid images in these mirrors. Because if he doesn’t find that person, he will never see his family again!

If you want to get spooked every time you look into the mirror, this movie is for you. Believe me - I know. I washed my face without looking in one for one whole day! :-(
