An average movie

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but the concept sounded pretty cool so I was still eager to check it out. Indeed, the scariest thing I have ever seen was an episode of ‘The Outer Limits’ and it was also involving mirrors. It scared me so bad, it left me sleepless for many nights and it was probably the most traumatising thing I have ever seen. I also enjoyed ‘Candyman’ a lot and mirrors were really important there as well. Basically, there is something really creepy about mirrors and I hoped this movie would develop this.Unfortunately, I thought it was just rather underwhelming. Indeed, basically, it is once again one of these thriller/horror flicks who has an obviously mentally disturbed main character but instead of developing the psychological aspect, they make sure that everything he sees and hears is 100% accurate. Why throw away any amound of ambiguity? Why don’t they let us wonder if the guy might be competely crazy or not? Instead, from the moment that the weird stuff starts up, the main character freaks out for about 5 minutes about what’s going on and then he becomes basically Jack Bauer, an almighty cop saving the day, and not a single moment again, he stops to tell himself ‘what the f*ck is actually going on here?!?’. To conclude, I was rolling my eyes in disbelief during the whole duration, sure it is sometimes creepy, even gross for a couple of scenes, but I really had a hard time to care about the whole thing and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
