About

You’ll probably like Mirrors if you want a spooky, tense supernatural horror built around reflections and fear—just be aware it’s divisive and sometimes long; Not for you if you dislike mirror-themed horror like New Nightmare or Spectrophobia-style scares.

Pros: eerie mirror-filled atmosphere; strong lead performance; unsettling dread | Cons: overstays its welcome; plot can feel silly; graphic gore moments
