Mirrors (Alexandre Aja, 2008) — Kiefer Sutherland in horror movie about... mirrors
IMDB | Trailer | August 15, 2008
I saw the trailer for this in the theatre (before The Strangers) and it looked wholly unappetizing. For a second I even thought I even though Paula Patton was Halle Berry, which was another reason I thought this movie would suck.
But... it's done by Alexandre Aja. I haven't seen his remake of The Hills Have Eyes but I thought High Tension was very good. Also: Jack Bauer.
So I'm torn... If this gets good reviews, and I'm incredibly bored, I may see it.

The original sucked and this looks wholly different, plus I like Aja and Bauer so we'll see.

I didn't even know this was a remake. Oh well. After the ass-kicking he gave me with Hills Have Eyes and High Tension (minus the ending) I'll watch anything Aja throws up on screen. Can't wait for Pirahna 3-D!

Early word from some insider friends is that it's shit, but I'll still see it because I want to support R-rated horror. That, and I'm a fan of Aja's work.

Can't wait to see this. My only gripe is that anytime I see Kiefer I know I'm gonna think of Jack Bauer. And we all know Jack Bauer could fuck anything up, including supernatural beings.
