twi1609372 Here we have a standard film of the modern era. This movie is like ordering a pizza for delivery and when it arrives finding no piazza in the box. This is just a celebration of suspense for it's own sake. It goes out of it's way to be vague and reveal as little as possible. After watching you will know roughly the same as someone who had never heard of the movie. This is just cinematic junk food, It's only 88 or so minutes but I'd like them back, I could have been doing something much more productive like reading a book in Chinese, no I don't speak it.

im_shan_i I have not seen any film like this in recent years! the film starts, you begin to watch the movie, and it ends while you want to watch! I didn't mean that it is great movie that you probably don't want to reach its end, but rather, I meant exactly the opposite. it likes that someone has cut the original movie in 100 pieces and picked just 10 of them from exact the middle and created this partial film eventually. after it ends, you will notice that you cannot say anything about the beginning, where the film was started. and even you cannot say anything about the ending; and this is what I actually meant while talking about "partial film" the story has no start, nor end and you feel that this movie should has part 1, 2, 3 and 4 where this movie should be watched, and parts 6, 7 and 8 should exist. no story exists! there is a family that lives normally till suddenly the exact same copy of them are starting to come out from inside the mirror and kills the other copy, one by one, but you cannot find any scene, speech, fragment. etc about the reason for this happenings. there is no story that the film follows, why these copy comes from inside the mirror? what was happen at the past of these characters, so they are going to be killed? what is the relevance between the characters, their lives, the story, the start, the end, and so on and so forth? maybe you find yourself sticked to the movie at the first, but while it reach to the end, you will feel empty! yes, you can find horror-movie-like background music during the whole time, but it is like you are standing out of the cinema, and listening to it without knowing what is going on inside. with very poor scenario and very poor characters, there is nothing to say about this movie. the final words: just crappy movie that dreamed to be categorized as horror! but it failed very bad! if you don't believe me, you van take your chance and waste your 90 minutes of your time to believe me!

gridoon2018 Initially I thought this was going to be a psychological thriller involving doubles / doppelgangers, but it is more like a variation on the familiar "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" theme. In any case, Sean Ellis' direction is better than his script; the aerial shots of London, the super-slow-motion replays of a car crash, and the scenes where people appear "behind" mirrors are stunning. But the story takes too long to get anywhere, and when it does the "revelations" are fuzzy, if not a cheat. I like Lena Headey a lot as Sarah Connor in the Terminator TV series, but here she gives a mostly monotonous performance, and the other actors are in it too briefly to make much out of their roles. ** out of 4.

leplatypus Well, my streak of good movies has shattered into pieces, and yet the theme is the one that pinches my fear button (see my review for "Aliens are coming"). Thus, it's about our dear ones being changed by twin evil ones. Here, they come from outside the mirrors (as in Carpenter's "prince of darkness"). It's a solid idea that can be very scary but it needs also some stuff to grow the seed.Unfortunately, there's not such development here. The movie is already ultra short (90 minutes) and inside, it's pretty much empty: the scenes are deadly slow, there aren't much dialogs and at the end, it's dull and boring. Worse, the colors are pale, bleak so it's really depressing!The only things to give pulse, it's the London location (with the tube), the twist about the car crash and Lena Headey as she has indeed a strong talent and presence to carry the movie over her only shoulders.
