Hard to see how you could not enjoy this hair-pulling thriller all the way to the end.With each moment, the atmosphere becomes more tense, the plot more suspenseful, and the twists more thrilling. A truly terrifying "found-footage" film from start to finish. In my opinion, this film has a very fresh take on the horror genre, packed with a new and exciting plot, with twists and turns throughout. In a genre that has become a very boring and repetitive snooze fest, this film stands out. Each new development in the plot brought with it my jaw dropping, followed shortly by my hand to cover my now gaping wide pie-hole. This is horror done right, no way around it. If you love being scared out of your mind, this is the film for you. Simply turn off the lights and enjoy. A must watch for any horror-genre enthusiasts.You will not be disappointed. 10/10

.....maybe that this has to be the worse "scary", "horror" movie I've ever seen in my entire life. Not that it was made by some freshman film students at some wacky London college, but more likely made by some wannabe freshman film students studying at a wacky London college. The script, acting, direction, props, plot, theme -- everything is HORRIBLE, AWFUL!!!! How much lower can film sink? It seems like it started just in the past decade. I entirely regret wasting 90 minutes of my time watching this drivel. Not one good thing to say about it. Having said that, watch it win some kind of award. Crazy world we live in.

Flawed in so many ways. The premise is decent - spooky old mirror and 3 flatmates filming everything. Then absolutely nothing happens. The mirror is the most benign thing in the history of horror films! Finally, the main character *spoiler* Matt starts sleepwalking and pisses his pants. (OK). Then he starts playing with knives and despite the fact that he's wearing a GoPro during his nighttime adventures, no one bothers to actually view the footage. Really?! That's just dumb. Oh yeah, there's a break-in and no one bothers to call the cops. Then when Matt goes blind - that's right actual sudden BLINDNESS - why doesn't anyone take him to the ER?! Come on! Common sense still exist even in the dumbest of films. And when he goes out and actually kills someone and removes her eyes that sh*t doesn't make the news?! The remaining flatmates are shown watching TV and they are totally unaware of a heinous murder in the neighborhood. Oh, and I nearly forgot, their blind roommate has gone missing and still no one bothers to call the freakin' police!!! The ending was anti-climactic. The storyline bogus and the actors were quite whiny. I love scary movies, but this barely qualifies as scary or a movie. Geez!! (I would have given it an even lower rating, except I have actually seen worst. At least the picture quality was decent).

I was actually tiring a little of 'found-footage' movies after viewing a spate of recent ones that were poorly made, badly written and just plain implausible!And then I watched The Mirror.I thought it was an absolutely brilliant and genuinely frightening horror movie. I haven't felt so scared watching a horror movie in years! It literally gave me chills.To begin with I found the story of the three flatmates attempting to capture some spooky footage rather entertaining - they're all fantastic, very natural actors and the interplay between them was highly watchable. But as events started getting out of hand, as a result of the ominous mirror, I found myself being drawn into the chilling narrative to the point of feeling like I was watching a nightmare being played out on the screen. The 'found-footage' style evoked such a sense of dread that I felt like I was actually watching one of my own nightmares. The third act of the film is an absolute masterclass in tension, suspense and disturbing, unsettling filmmaking - and all achieved with no music score!I haven't had this kind of a reaction to a horror movie in a long time and it was really refreshing to watch something that actually scared me. Structurally and stylistically The Mirror is an excellent horror film and I'd recommend it to all horror fans - even if, like me, you'd become disillusioned with 'found-footage' - The Mirror should shine you back onto them!
