This is the straight-to-dvd sequel to the horror movie MIRRORS that starred Kiefer Sutherland and Amy Smart. This one stars Nick Stahl, William Katt, Christy Carlson Romano (Even Stevens, Kim Possible) and Emmanuelle Vaugier (Two and a Half Men, CSI:NY)
The story: a man's wife is killed in a car accident, then to get him out of his depression his father hires him as a night watchman at his new store that is opening soon. However, one person has died and more begin to die and this man much find out what is happening -- why people are seeing visions in the mirrors and why it kills them.
Was it good?
Not especially, but it wasn't especially bad either.
But it wasn't horrible. It's almost an identicle movie to the first one just with a lamer plot, worse actors, and a lamers reveal at the end. People still see these twisted reflections that hurt themselves in the mirrors and it kills them in real life. There is a random scene with an actress who gets naked and then is killed where you wonder why she was in the movie at all (Amy Smart in the original, Christy Carlson Romano in this one, who apparently bought brand new boobs for it too). There is a lot of running around that feels pointless and random since the visions could come at any time, so why didn't they just kill everyone all at once?
Still, it isn't horrible. The basic idea of these twisted reflections that cause people to be killed it pretty cool and the rest of the movie doesn't do anything so bad that it would ruin it. It's kind of like the FINAL DESTINATION films -- the sequels aren't good, but the concept is good and they don't do anything that screws it up.
For a horror rental, but there are a lot of better horror movies out there.
