6.2 votes equal to fragile. And 'now clear that this site has a strong antipathy towards the horror film. If this movie had been in Stephen King would have had more. For me to go to pieces is the comment by Aaron1375. AARON STILL TU, quache distant relative of SHARON? Restless character already seen previously. Why make comparisons between SILENT HILL AND MIRRORS? E '100 times better this movie. Silent hill comes from a video. Do you have anything like the original film plot. There are mediocre film recited by actors who have high ratings as we are beautiful film recited by people less known. This site is so. In this movie there is a coup scene that leaves us with mouth open the others kind of Nicole Kidman. But since this movie and played by Sutherland takes one vote less. that's disgusting. Arise THE VOTE!

An ex-cop becomes as a security guard to escape the haunting past where a mistake cost him his partner's life. Now he's working in a shopping complex owned by his uncle, but he gets caught up in a series of bizarre deaths that are occurring in the building. All of these deaths seem to be link somehow to mirrors, which cover most of the building. So now he becomes involved in the police investigation surrounding these unusual circumstances. Another little unknown Asian flick, this time from South Korea, which really snuck up on me. But on that point it had me in two minds. Neither was it bad nor good. At times, I couldn't care less what was happening, but at least it didn't follow the same suit of most Asian films of last couple of years… well kinda. 'Into the Mirror' is a murder mystery that dabbles into the supernatural by involving the folklore about a world that lives through the mirror, where a part of our soul can cross over. To quote the narration from the flick "Self-hatred triggered by a mental shock, can cause a personality to split and perceive two worlds inside and outside the mirror. The world is divided into two symmetrical worlds, both perceived by the person who is psychologically split. If you die outside the mirror you can still be living inside. And if you die inside the mirror you see no reflection". Now that would've made for an involving watch, but sadly this idea isn't taken advantage of. Instead it's just too bad that they seemed to settle on the tired and we've seen it all before sub-plot about the cop trying to come to terms with his past and then getting involved in a investigation that doesn't really add up. This actual sub-plot does have merit to how it connects with this mirror theory, but it's not as interesting as delving into this belief of two worlds. The parts involving this premise are the most lively and neat moments within the film. The opening half an hour has such a brood mood and nice supernatural touch, with characters dying strange deaths and the last 15 minutes has a decent climax that probably goes on for too long, but it ends in a cool fashion. Then there's the ending which makes you think well there goes by a good story right there, why did it take that long (?). The mid-section is where it gets really bogged down though, the drama element sees most of the daylight and by shaping the way for the lengthy investigation and feuding cops moments… and the creepy opening to it all has sort of lost its way through this stage. During the middle half it's not so hard to tell what's going to happen next and so the puzzle isn't really one at all, because you already guessed the key players. But you have to wait until the last 15 min for some new unexpected twists. There's a moral stacked into the story about conquering your fear, or it will eventually destroy if you don't face it and not to trust what you always see. The film looks a treat, being rather stylish in detail and in its glossed up set pieces. They make good use of the film's environment (that being mostly set in a shopping complex) with beautifully presented ideas and visuals make you sit up. Helping that is a bone rattling score and the camera-work has its moments by putting you off balance with its fluid angles and shots. The performances are incredibly down played and mostly giving lifeless expressions, but that works out within this film's dour context, but the main lead was probably a bit too wooden. 'Into the Mirror' is a fair and ambitious horror-mystery flick, even if it's a muddle of ideas executed in a patchy manner. You just can't stop thinking what could have been if they concentrated more on the supernatural side of things.

Despite being unsure what it is, Into the Mirror succeeds in spinning an entertaining yarn.Ji-tae Yu is Woo Yeong-min, a former policeman who's been reduced to security guard for his uncle's company since a hostage incident 1 year prior resulted in the death of a man as a consequence of a mistake from Min. He opted to shoot the aggressor and missed, shooting his reflection by mistake. The occurrence left him completely traumatised and entirely miserable, and unable to look himself in the mirror.However, when 2 employees of the company die in extremely mysterious circumstances, Min's former partner on the force, Heo Hyeon-su joins the investigation and strange goings on continue.Part supernatural chiller, part cop drama, part psychological drama, part surreal mystery, Into the Mirror is very much an eclectic mix of different styles of movie. It without question succeeds in the basic discipline of any film, that of concertedly engaging the viewer's attention for the duration, and it does this thanks to a number of elements:First of all the cinematography is spot on, and is extremely good at facilitating the supernatural psychology. Aided by a director who seems to know exactly what to show us, each scene is smartly captured, with many clever uses of mirrors. Many occasions will call for your attention on more than one thing, and the mystery of wondering what, if any, wrongness will occur is well realised. Furthermore, the acting is surprisingly decent for an Asian movie. As ignorant as that may sound, I have viewed many Asian films and the acting is uniformly rather bland. Even though westerners do not understand the language, emotion et al can still come across on celluloid and Asian movies are often left wanting here. However, Into the Mirror is more than decent in this area for once, with good performances from a fair few players. It certainly adds to the experience when it's not just the story we watch for.There lies another strength. As touched on earlier the movie is downright entertaining, and relies on a pretty strong script and effective narrative. This film is never boring, aided and abetted by a script which never has vacuous moments and empty sequences. Everything is there for a reason.However, the big weakness is the overriding suspicion that the film really doesn't know what it is trying to be. With so many styles mixed together, it comes across as more of a salad bowl than melting pot. Weird goings-on akin to the spooky occurrences in movies like Ring seem a little out of joint in the company of a police drama and crime mystery.However, if you are willing to forgive this lack of harmony, like I, then you can overlook it and accept the movie for what it is: An entertaining yarn with enough going for it to keep you watching.One last flaw though is the ending. Obviously I am not going to give it away, but the problem with it is it seems far too ambitious, and not a tad confusing. I was left not so much baffled as to what was going on, but what it actually meant overall. This took the shine off perhaps a little, but it was still a fine picture overall and I would still recommend it.

This film was based on a psychological analysis for mirror and patients who suffered severe shocks. The movie doesn't really have a ghost or a bloody scene, however, the flimmaker intentionally puts mirror into the film many times, the fear and thrill flows underneath the screen.The film starts with a department store in South Korea, the department store caught fire and one woman was killed. Few years later the department store was opened again and those people who hold secrets of the department store and the dead woman began to be killed.To tell the truth, the film was great and I recommend you all to see this!!
