Always thought there was an evil design behind all those giant mirrors at clothes stores. But how evil are they? Put Alexandre Aja behind the camera, and what do you think?

Te story is efficient but strangely uninvolving and not nearly as scary as the Korean version.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 10, 2008

But High Tension director Alexandre Aja's disappointingly low-tension Hollywood studio remake is a pale reflection of its Korean original.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 10, 2008

Some credit for this stylish screamer goes to Sutherland, forming his doughy-handsome features into an emotional punchbag. More credit goes to Nemec, sowing a harvest of dark invention in the vast spaces.

| Oct 10, 2008

Kiefer Sutherland's bad days in 24 are frolics in the park next to the nonsense he endures in this scandalously poor supernatural horror.

| Oct 10, 2008

The remake retains the sensationally creepy ending and it's all reasonably done, but no real chills.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 10, 2008

There are a few effectively grisly moments, but no really new ideas.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 10, 2008

This is without question the dumbest horror movie of recent years. There is simply no way to piece together its fractured shards.

| Original Score: 1/6 | Oct 10, 2008

The main problem with Mirrors is its truly clunky screenplay, which fails to support the often stylish visuals.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 10, 2008

The director, Alexandre Aja, knows how to reflect the fear in people's heads, but he gets too ensnared in a backstory that's just gothic business as usual.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 28, 2008

How could horror be so dull?

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 19, 2008

Audiences won't be crazy about what they see in these Mirrors.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 19, 2008

An empty enterprise that provides a few moments of goofy fun, Mirrors reflects back nothing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 19, 2008

Mirrors is too lugubrious and misconceived to reflect the talent of those involved.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 19, 2008

A minor chiller and major downer from the talented Alexandre Aja.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 18, 2008

Alexandre Aja keeps the suspense tight for most of the movie, only to fritter it away in an overblown ending.

| Aug 18, 2008

This remake of a South Korean movie ultimately provides fewer scares than the average aging baby boomer feels every time they look into a reflective surface.

Full Review | Aug 18, 2008

At nearly two hours, Mirrors is overlong for a summer horror toss-off, and the movie's three or four false endings make it seem even more of a haul.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 18, 2008

[Aja's] pedal-to-the-metal intensity only serves to heighten the film's fundamental ridiculousness.
