There was something disquieting about The Mirror and, once I figured it out, it made the film completely preposterous. When I say disquieting, I don't mean "causing anxiety or uneasiness". More like annoying, bothersome. The characters say and do things that make absolutely NO sense, and they seem to do it in a vacuum. The three leads live in a condo/apartment building, purportedly in a hip urban area (London?), yet they are the ONLY inhabitants. They never run into neighbors, friends, relatives. In fact, there are only two other minor characters in the whole film! All the characters are injured with serious knife slashes and stabbings at various points, yet they don't seek medical treatment. You and I would probably get stitches, or at least seek professional healthcare attention. Not these folks! Gauze, cotton balls and alcohol are all they need. Not even antibiotics for what could be potentially infectious wounds.Eventually, the haunted mirror casts a pall on the apartment, supposedly filling every moment with dread for the occupants. Despite this, and some violent, tense moments, the camera man keeps filming EVERYTHING the WHOLE time. I wish Hollywood and the indie film industry would abandon documentary style horror films. Kudos to Blair Witch for being the first out of the gate, and the first Paranormal exhibited its own stylish flair, but the sub-genre has now become trite and stale.

I just finished watching this film and i really enjoyed it. I dint understand why people gave this movie such a low rating. usually horror movies don't get good reviews on IMDb .According to me this movie should get 9-8 Ratings But some Major errors in the movie made me to reconsider the rating to 7-8. i would not say that it is better than Oculus but this film was far better than paranormal activity franchise and other found-footage type movie. I usually don't like found footage type movies because the camera keeps on shaking but in the movie they controlled it a little. this movie made me scare especially the End 5 minutes of the movie. all the actors in the film did very well.i liked this film

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.

Three friends record themselves in their flat in order to win a prize money at a contest. Once a mirror is brought in the apartment, soon they are possessed by an evil spirit who will make them to murder other peoples and even to kill each other.This is a low budget movie with ideas borrowed from the Paranormal Activity series but with an altered scenario including horror elements in it. The result? pure garbage! At the beginning it may seem to be interesting but it's not. 90% of the movie is filmed inside the house with only three characters. Watching them arguing, eating, sleeping is not that entertaining. I guess we all can make this type of movie, is just like taking two friends with you, a camera and start recording your daily activity and the movie is done. Even for only 80 minutes runtime it seems too long it could have been made even in 40. You could watch the first 15 minutes then skip to the last 20 and you didn't lose anything. The few good parts are that for a bunch of unknown actors they played their parts very good even that there was nothing too complicated, the girl was really cute, and one or two jump scare scenes and that's about all. For a true horror fan, watching alone at night this one will not do the trick.
