Mirrors (15) ** - Kiefer Sutherland, Amy Smart, Paula Patton, Julian Glover, Jason Flemyng, Ezra Buzzington and John Shrapnel.
ANOTHER week, another poor American remake of a highly effective and original Asian horror movie.
Kiefer Sutherland takes a break from saving the world to play troubled former police officer Ben Carson.
Our down-at-heel former cop takes a job as a night-time security guard at a large New York department store whose mirrors have somehow mysteriously survived a fire.
And when his own family begin to be threatened by their own mirror-images, Carson begins to investigates the hauntings.
French director Alexandre Aja’s rehash of the Korean Into The Mirror, despite some effective opening scenes and excellent visual set pieces, is a failure overall.
When will Hollywood learn?
