Horror remakes suck. Everything about them sucks and I’m not even going to bother watching the stupid movie because I know it’s going to suck. Then I’m gonna write a review and tell everyone it sucks because that’s just how cool I am. Then everyone else is going to say it sucks and then I’ll sit back and laugh at what I helped create – a chain of bad reviews that will most likely doom the movie to never be seen by anyone because people are mindless sheep and believe what the media says about everything all the time.

Okay, so clearly that isn’t my point of view, but that seems to be the point of view of most of the people that reviewed Mirrors because Mirrors was a pretty decent movie – one of the better remakes that’s come out in the last little while. Kiefer Sutherland is great in it and the movie succeeds every way a horror movie should. It’s scary, gory and uses its creepy setting to its full potential.

The biggest problem with Mirrors is its attempt to explain what’s going on. Since there are such heavy supernatural elements, it’s hard to rationalize it in a believable and logical way. The movie would’ve been better off letting the viewer decide what’s going on instead of trying to make it make sense.

Quick Review: With Kiefer Sutherland’s performance, a truly eerie setting and some decent gore, Mirrors is a success on nearly every level. Ignore the bad reviews and give it a shot.
