Mirrors
Went to see Mirrors today.
Freaked me out.
Of course, mirrors already frighten me a little, abused as they are in scary movies. I won't go into detail in an unlocked post.
But anyway. I knew nothing of the movie going in, such as it being (yet another Hollywood) remake of an Asian horror movie. I find that not having any preconceived notions of a movie helps a lot with enjoying it.
So, I found this movie disturbing.
Good pace, okay music, good cinematography, some genuinely creepy moments. Keifer doesn't do anything for me, but he wasn't bad.
There's debate about the ending over at the imdb, but it gave me a bit of a shiver in the theater, so I'd say it was effective.
And the movie takes kind of a weird twist partway through, kind of a cliche one, but they kinda made it work.
There's one horribly gory/horrifying/unnecessary graphically disgusting scene, but just the one. ...to me, anyway. My gore-o-meter is a little skewed.
Anyway, Mirrors gets the Quiet Tiger Stamp of Approval. I'm really rather glad I saw it on a sunny afternoon and not late at night.

The whole movie was about Kiefer; he was in nearly ever scene.
