Mirror. Mirror (1990) is a flat out lame movie. Why did I watch movies like this when I was younger? Who knows? Maybe I was one for punishing myself by watching one terrible movie after another. I don't know, I guess I needed a hobby during my teen years. A teenage outcast (Rainbow Harvest) seeks solace in an old mirror. Soon she learns about the horrific power this antique mirror has and uses it to strike out against those who have wronged her. Movies like these, the power giver has a nasty side effect. This one changes her inside and out if she likes it or not.A mess of a movie that for some reason was restored on d.v.d. a few years back. I don't know why. They should have left it on the shelf and collect dust. People love this movie foe some reason. If you do I would like to know why. Until then I dislike this movie and I have no reason to ever watch it again.Not recommended at all.

I haven't seen Heathers, but this movie reminded me more of "The craft" than carrie. I only paid 60p for it (it was in a double-pack in a cheap Cambridge bookshop, with 'Daughter of darkness'), and for that price it was pretty good. The basic story is a girl has a mirror in her room which gives her demonic powers, she then uses these to 'bump off' people that annoy her, for instance a sarcastic teacher and a snobbish class president, so far, so cliché. One thing that did seem to set this apart from Carrie and the Craft was the gore, while it wasn't exactly "Cannibal ferox", there was some pretty gruesome 'splatter', which is frankly the reason why i buy horror movies in the first place. Also the ending was pretty ordinary too, with banging doors, wind, and leaves blowing about, and the girl realising she 'couldnt control' the demonic forces after all. All in all, a good watch, as long as you can find it for under £1 XD

`In the tradition of 'Carrie' and 'Heathers'? Try `a shameless ripoff of not only those two films, but 'The Evil Dead' and 'The Shining' as well.' That said, they really don't make bad horror movies like this anymore, and that's a shame, 'cause it's a gas.Rainbow Harvest is the Winona substitute here, and although she barely does more than mumble her lines (and occasionally scream, `YOU'RE UGLY!!!' into her haunted mirror), she's Goth way before it's fashionable, so you have to respect her. (And she's quite creative about it too, accessorizing with black leather scarves and a kind of black-spray-painted Hawaiian-Punch-guy hat. Eat your heart out, Cher.)Karen Black overacts a bit, but she's not totally without dignity, and you can't help but sympathize with her. (Unless you're a certain friend of mine, who asked, `Who is that, Horse Lips from 'M.A.S.H'?' the first time she came onscreen.)There are decent supporting performances by Kristin Dattilo (as the square chick who befriends Rainbow), Ricky Paull Goldin (in his trademarked wisecracking hunk role), and William `Larry, Darryl and Darryl' Sanderson (as some kind of pet undertaker, or something). But it's sad to see the once smokin' Yvonne DeCarlo reduced to playing what can only be thought of as the Charlotte Rae part.The eighties were the heyday for hilarious, mindbogglingly dumb horror movies like this, and `Mirror, Mirror' was one of the last of its kind. Definitely worth a look.

Owing more then its fair share to Heathers this film is about a high school outcast who uses an evil, demonic mirror to get revenge on her tormenters, but soon the mirror gets out of control and starts stalking her and her family. Dull rendering of so-so premise, features sloopy effects and wastes a good camp cast. Rated R; Nudity, Mild Sexual Situations, Graphic Violence, and Profanity.
