A man is released from a psychiatric hospital after being locked up for 11 years. He believed that a haunted mirror possessed his parents, causing them to attack him and his sister when they were children. He now believes his mind was playing tricks on him, but his now-adult sister is anxious for him to return so they can together prove to the world that the mirror truly is haunted.
This is one of those movies that plays mind games with you. You don't know what's real and what's fake, and you don't know if the characters are really fighting a possessed mirror or just losing their own minds. It definitely keeps you on your toes.
It also bounces back and forth between the past and present, slowly revealing what happened in their childhood while at the same time, having the characters remember and re-live that horrible night.
The premise was excellent and the movie was great... until the end. I won't spoil anything, but let's just say that the ending was not satisfying for me personally and I felt it ruined the film. I've heard lots of praise for this film and was anxious to watch it, but the ending really turned me off to it. If you like psychological horror/thrillers, though, this may be the movie for you.
