Review of Dark Mirror (2007) by Matt S — 31 Aug 2010

I thought this flick had alot of potential and you can tell that in some of the scenes but it never really ran with it and ended up being lifetime movie of the week material. It had an identity crisis, it was like one part psycho/slasher, one part psycholigical/drama mystery and one part haunted house flick but it didn't really focus on any of them well and the twist at the end was too complicated for its own good.

I thought it was way too slow moving with not enough action and the overall effects were generic to me. I never thought it was scary or unnerving, it just was t.v. material, the acting was pretty decent though but not amazing either and I just thought it made an interesting premise into a pretty dull experience, I guess it's another case of would of, could of, should of.

What a let down! Overall I was disappointed in the movie but there is definitely alot worse out there to rent but then again there is even more exciting movies out there as well. Wait for television! More of a 2.

5 out of a 5 star rating.
