Verdict on Mirrors 2
Meant to be a sequel to Kiefer Sutherland’s original which was an average horror with good twist to say the best, this film doesn’t live up to the original at all with no follow up to what actually happened at the end of the first one. It is basically following the Saw franchise good first movies with great twist and then just looking for gore, gore, gore in all future outings. Nick Stahl is better than straight to DVD films and does his best to make something out of a rather plain story. Serial straight to DVD girl Emmanuelle Vaugier seems to be a main character without actually having any real belief in what is going on and is a tame damsel in distress.
Story Mark 3/10 Been done so many times and this one is poor
Special Effects Mark 6/10 Some good effects on the death scenes but nothing truly original
Horror Mark 5/10 No real scares just the usual look up see something turn round nothing there
Star Performances Nick Stahl acts well to a poor story can see he plays the regret ridden lead man
Least Favourite Character Most of the higher up employees who snuff it
Best Part I guess that i like a good investigation type movie and its ABC for that
Worst Part The fact it doesn’t explain what happened at the end of the first one
My Rating 45%
