Redundant and unnecessary.

Fresh and Exciting

best movie i've ever seen.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

****SPOILERS*** What's obviously an updated re-make of the 1946 thriller "The Dark Mirror" with Olivia De Havilland & Lew Aryes the film "Dark Mirror" has to do with housewife and part time professional photographer Deb Martin, Lisa Vidal, who becomes so obsessed with a mirror in her new home that it drives her over the edge or deep end by the time the movie is over. The mirror somehow interacts with Ded's camera after she casually took a photo of it. It's then that everyone she photographs ends up disappearing off the face the earth!Things get really weird when Deb's mom Grace, Lupe Ontiveros, shows up unexpectedly at the house with all these crazy stories of it being possessed by the ghost of it's previous owner an artist who also together with his wife dropped completely out of sight. It's then that Dob's workaholic husband Jim, David Chisum,starts to worry about her in that she may have a few screws loose upstairs: It turns out that Deb's mom Grace has been dead for the last five years! We get to see Ded slowly lose it when everyone she photographs starts to get edited out of the movie. As if they were somehow swallowed up in an other plane of existence. Even the police are puzzled in what's going on with all those that disappeared leave a number of clues, like blood trails, to them being brutally murdered without their dead and mutilated bodies to confirm it!***SPOILERS*** It's in the last 15 minutes that we the audience as well as Deb finally get some kind of handle to what exactly is going on in the film. And it's Deb herself who's the key to it without her really knowing about it! That's until it's too late for her as well as Jim who let the whole thing, his wife Deb's mental breakdown, go on too far to the point that he became a victim of it.

The trouble with reality starts when the paranoid are also the people for whom seeing is believing. That's why delusions must be created."I'll know it when I see it," says the photographer-heroine (actress Lisa Vidal) of this 2007 indie film. "Deborah Martin" is a middling talent; a photographer who captures images, but who doesn't _see_. Her awareness dawns late. Her blind spot is her own paranoia.When she gets the brush-off for a job, she overhears -- through the muffle of a closed door -- her male interviewer remark "I wouldn't hire her, but I'd f**k her." When she catches a partially-obstructed glimpse of her bimbo neighbor and her husband on the front sidewalk, she sees certain infidelity.Deborah dismisses signals warning of flaws in her perception. Though perplexed enough to twice compare the image on her DSLR's monitor to her eyes' view of the bathroom shower, she ignores the incongruent behavior of the flower-or-splat-shaped wall appliqués.As is expected with the title "Dark Mirror" the film considers reflection in the vein of yin-yang or alter ego. The mother who visits her daughter Deborah at the new house is changed anew; whimsically, she is the supportive parent that Deborah long wanted. Donning a found Frau-Frau apron, afraid-she's-a-bad-mom Deborah morphs into June Cleaver. You may behold a painting and see a boy swimming in sun-dappled water. Look again and you may see a scene less idyllic.Writer-director Pablo Proenza's and writer Michael Reynold's layering of alternative interpretations of the mirror and reflection motifs piqued and held my interest. Distracting at first, lighting effects and camera angles ultimately had a synergistic impact on the story-telling and mood. In my view, this film is worth a look.

The housewife and aspirant photographer Deborah Martin (Lisa Vidal) fells a strange sort of attraction by a house and convinces her husband Jim (David Chisum) to buy it. They move from Seattle with their son Ian (Joshua Pelegrin) and Deborah takes a photo of a mirror in the bathroom. Along the days, she discovers that her neighbor is snooping her family and a stranger is stalking her. She researches and finds that the house belonged to a painter that might have killed his wife. Sooner she realizes that an alternate world is affecting her life and the glasses of the house are protecting her family.The above summary sounds crazy, incoherent or inconsistent? So congratulations to me since I have succeeded in describing the complete mess that this story is. "Dark Mirror" is an awful horror movie despite a couple of good reviews in IMDb (but at least two visibly fake from Users with only one review and giving a ten to this crap). My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Reflexo do Mal" ("Reflex of the Evil")

I started with High Expectations for this film. It started with a good premise, family moves into haunted house, tried and true. Then it threw in a mother/photographer who's subjects always die. Then it threw in a mysterious door that only appears in their bathroom Mirror. Then it threw in magical Chinese glass that holds evil spirits. Then it adds a dead grandmother to the mix, who is talking to the protagonist as if she is alive. The husband then tells us that she's been speaking to her dead mother... but then in the end... She's not crazy..... Does this sound like 5 different movies in one to anyone? There is no way that a movie with this many plots could ever wrap up in a short 90 minute period. I felt legitimately bad for the actors who were all pretty good. However they were given the unfortunate hand of having to act in a movie where they had little room to act, due to the high demands of an ever changing plot. I was extremely disappointed with this movie.So overall... Bad Plot(s), Good Actors, too much info, not enough explanation = TERRIBLE movie
