Save your money for something good and enjoyable

I'll tell you why so serious

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I know that sequels are usually crap, but seriously this one takes the cake. So bad, in fact, that it inspired me to create an account here and put in my two cents. This movie has got to be hands down the worst I have ever seen, and I have seen some crappy movies. The storyline did not even follow the original. In fact, the ONLY thing it had in common with the first is the Mayflower store. The fist one had an excellent storyline, good plot development and great acting. This movie had nothing. I would like to find the writers of this sequel and give them a good high five to the face. Don't waste your time with this movie!! And to top it all off, THEY Didn't EVEN REFERENCE THE FIRST ONE AND WHAT HAPPENED TO KIEFER!!! Even the few (VERY FEW) gory parts were sub-par and made no sense.

I remember watching this at night time (which was probably why I found it creepy) and found it quite good. Yeah, this movie isn't as good as Mirrors...but it's still pretty good. I have seen WAY worse horror movies than this, and I quite enjoyed the plot of the movie. I found it hard to understand why people didn't like it. It was a good movie with maybe a little too much gore with plenty of scares and patches of boredom. I don't exactly see how this movie has bad reviews, at all??? But yes, the first movie is definitely better and you should watch the first movie first...but definitely watch this movie if you have watched Mirrors. It will complete the story a little more. 6/10

I have seen a good deal of movies and have never before felt an urge like this to write a review up on here. Im spending time writing this short little review so that anyone who considered watching this movie thinks twice before spending his own invaluable time like I did. The first Mirrors movie was great and I genuinely enjoyed it. It was a fairly new concept, a good thought out plot accompanied by some great effects and some good acting. The follow up... sigh*Mirrors 2 is truly terrible, a masterpiece of a crap horror movie. It seems to me the director is a man who despises the horror genre. There is absolutely no thought put into this movie. The acting is stone cold awful with zero emotion. The plot is a nanometer thick, and the writing horrific (not in a good way). At some points some of the characters seem to be plotting something of their own agenda when in reality they turn out to have no special role in the movie at all and die in the next scene. The effects of the movie were awkward, and actually made the movie less scary. I actually lol'd at one point. I can't believe the sequel was made 2 years after the original. Judging by the effects, the original seems at least 5 years older. The movie holds no true horror - just brainless gore, one scene after the other. Without spoiling anything this movie has many plot holes and logical problems that will leave the even slightly intelligent ones of us annoyed. This movie might be scary only through its unpleasantness to some people who tend to never watch horror. To those of us however who genuinely enjoy horror movies (good movies in general), this movie will just be dull, boring, and fairly annoying. Don't waste your time and look up another movie to watch. If you have not yet seen the first Mirrors and have somehow stumbled onto the sequel, I do recommend taking a peak at the first one. In any case, I guarantee you will find a better watch.

"Mirrors" (2008) was a remake of the Japanese version, this time directed by the great french director Alexandre Aya (High Tension, Hills Have Eyes remake). It had Kiefer Sutherland (Lost Boys, Sentinel, TV's 24) and did very well at the cinema's. "Mirrors 2" went straight to DVD/Blu Ray which can mean two things: it's really bad or it can be surprisingly good considering it's limited budget and lack of well-known names. This time no Kiefer Sutherland but Nick Stahl (Disturbing Behaviour, Terminator 3). The story is pretty much a copy of the first one and it will remind you especially of the surprise hit "Stir Of Echoes". So no surprises there, but there are effective shock effects that will have you at the edge of your seat. And let's not forget about the awesome death scenes. The gory special effects are done by the legendary K.N.B. Effects group, helmed by Gregory Nicoterro and Howard Berger.The only flaw is that the first half of the movie is better than the second halve. But overall, it's certainly worth a look.
