Mirrors 2

"Mirrors 2" is a Horror movie in which we watch a young man who experiences strange, horrifying occurrences after moving into a new apartment with a dark past.

Since I had already watched the first movie I knew what I was about to watch and I had some expectations. Unfortunately, it didn't have the same suspense and intensity as the first movie. In addition to this, the tension was inconsistent, with several scenes lacking the chilling atmosphere that made "Mirrors" effective. The interpretation of Nick Stahl who played as Max Matheson was good bu not that good to save this movie. The story suffered from predictability, relying too heavily on familiar horror tropes without offering much innovation. To sum up, I have to say that "Mirrors 2" is a serviceable horror sequel and nothing more so, I advise you if you have already watched the first movie to be prepared for this one because you might be disappointed.

Mystery/metaphysical horror film. It is an independent story from the first and unfortunately does not give clear explanations regarding the ending of the first movie. The main element, however, remains the mirrors and in particular the mirrors from the old burnt mall of the first film. According to some beliefs, after a violent death the soul can be trapped in a mirror in search of redemption. This in part could explain the ending of the first movie. Unlike the element of possession that the first one had, the second film is limited only to reflections and deaths. Overall, it is interesting and has good acting and script, but it is much less intense than the first, and at a much slower pace and focuses more on mystery than terror. It also has some unnecessary gore/splatter and nudity elements that were absent from the first. It's significantly below the first one and since it's not a sequel, you can skip it. Still worth a watch, but only for once.

I was disappointed with Mirrors (2008) , the trailer made it look a lot more creepy then it was, that movie did have one or two creepy scenes and the acting was great for that movie and they had one really good death in that movie, i gave that movie an 5 out of 10 and I am going to give the same to Mirrors 2.

This is a stand alone movie there is no connection to the first movie at all as they basically repeated the formula from the first movie but added different plot.

What l liked about this movie, is that it did have some really good creative kills in this movie , this movie is more Bloody/Gory then the first however it not as creepy as the first and its not scary at all.

The acting was not great at all but just Okay, they could done much,much,much better with the acting.

I will watch this movie again but i won't be buying the movie on DVD. it's worth a rental at least.

"Mirrors 2" is pretty okay as a stand-alone feature, but it pales in comparison with Alexandre Aja's first film (which on its term was a re-make of an Asain film). This time, the film isn't exactly what the first one was about. Instead they turned it into a 'vengeful ghost' story. Not bad, really, but pretty standard stuff. Nevertheless, we get a couple of bloody death scenes, a bit of nice atmosphere, a dash of mystery (which isn't too hard to figure out) and some okay performances (though no Oscar worthy material, naturally). The over-all end result is just about decent enough. You could do a lot worse with other stuff that's being cranked out on DVD nowadays, especially when it comes to (loose) sequels. Teaming up "Mirrors 2" as a double bill with something like "White Noise 2: The Light" wouldn't be a bad way to spend a straight-to-DVD horror sequel night with your girlfriend.

"Mirrors 2" isn't exactly in the same league as its predecessor. Unlike the Kiefer Sutherland story, there's more or less no suspense. Not because its predictable (which it isn't), but simply because it's a sequel. Actually, this isn't a sequel. It's a rehash of the first one, except there's no mystery this time. I found this "sequel" fairly enjoyable, and I recommend to anyone not expecting too much out of it. Compared to the previous story, this one is a pale imitation, which is easy to see why it went straight to DVD. A worthy rental, but it's not worth spending 20 some dollars on.
