Review:
So a young set of brother and sister aren't impressed with the evil man their mommy is dating. The boy kills the dude and his evil spirit gets transferred into the mirror so now we have an evil mirror. Anyhow years later once they are grown up the mirror is broken and mayhem starts to happen! Could the mirror be seeking revenge? Could it be killing on it's own? It's not the greatest film I do admit, but I found it to be at least watchable as the premise is interesting enough. There are long needless stretches where nothing happens, but other than that it's pretty much smooth sailing. Some blood, in fact it's been named one of the Video Nasties in that big scandal but I didn't see anything beyond a PG-13 flick really.
