unspectacular voodoo thriller., 5 June 2009
Author: teptime from fabulous Las Vega$!

Pretty, young Mary Ann is vacationing with her husband in a New Orleans French Quarter hotel. Nightmares involving mirrors and faces she's seen during her visit begin to plague her, but her suspicions of something sinister are roused when another guest from the hotel ends up mysteriously killed. The following night, her husband dies in his sleep from an evident asthma attack, and Mary Ann becomes convinced that forces of voodoo are pitted against her. What transpires is a fairly pedestrian thriller of the "is it all real, or is she nuts" variety.

To say that MIRRORS is a good film is quite a stretch, but there's some decent tension built, and the performances(namely Kitty Winn and Peter Donat) are quite good. A murky atmosphere looms throughout, somewhat similar in tone to LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH, which saves this overall rather slow film from sinking like an iron anchor.

Overall, not a total failure, but the same ideas were put to better use in the more recent film THE SKELETON KEY. 4.5/10
