Synopsis:

 

An ex-cop and his family are the target of an evil force that is using mirrors as a gateway into their home.

 

The Freak's Rating: C- : OK MMF audience...age check.  How many of you will always think of Kiefer Sutherland as Doc?  For those who answered yes, you're right in line with my cinematic upbringing.  For those who didn't, disregard the Young Guns reference.  Sutherland has put out a slew of decent films, none critically praised.  He has proven that you don't have to have an arsenal of talents if you can somehow attract support from the public instead.

 

Sutherland seems stuck in his Jack Bauer character (from Fox's 24).  He regurgitates the urgency of Bauer a number of times, prompting me to mentally pause for the ticking clock before the commercial break.  I don't know if he'll ever escape the stereotype of Bauer for the remainder of his career.

 

Mirrors is a decent horror flick, containing its necessary scare scenes (though they are few and far between).  There is a typical nice horror movie twist and a hint of mystery that keeps you curious what will happen next.
