Plot summary
There is a long-held belief that mirrors act as gateways to another dimension. ·Some also believe the looking glass plays host to a world filled with evil spirits. Such superstition has been the basis for ancient folklore legends about haunting and possession. And one tale about a supposedly haunted mirror was picked up by the media in 2012. Both the Daily Mail and Huffington Post reported on how the owners of a recently purchased antique mirror left them dogged by bad luck, financial misery, strange sightings and death-defying illness. Now writer/director Edward Boase brings that horrifying story to the screen starring Jemma Dallender (I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE 2), Joshua Dickinson and Nate Fallows (‘Whitechapel’) as flatmates who buy the same eerie antique on ebay and set up round the clock cameras in the hopes of capturing evidence of bumps in the night. You have been warned!

The Good, Bad and Stupid of Horror...
The Good, Bad and Stupid of Horror...
This movie was a hodgepodge of so much good and bad in horror movies. It is just another found footage movie that has a storyline that makes little sense. Everything that happens in this movie to any member of the cast cannot be directly linked back to The Mirror. There is little to no back story as to why the Mirror is a haunted or paranormal item. While the acting was pretty good by the cast, decisions made by the characters in the movie were just borderline of incredulous! They call no one for help when one character starts sleepwalking and ends up on a balcony. Same character gets sudden blindness and they put him in bed, no emergency room. He turns up missing and they don't report it...the list just goes on and on!I thought the story moved along very slowly and got somewhat repetitive at points, too. The ending was not bad, but fell into the predictability of found footage films.
