Mirrors is a horror movie in which a downward-spiraling ex-cop named Ben Carson (Kiefer Sutherland) is pursued by the evil in reflective surfaces which make his life even more of a nightmare. Ben is a security guard in a burned-out department store. He comes to realize that the mirrors in this store do not reflect truly, instead showing the viewer as evil, and influencing the real world in a very frightening way. Soon Ben finds that the evil has followed him outside of the store: not only he, but also his sister Angela (Amy Smart), ex-wife Amy (Paula Patton), and his children Michael (Cameron Boyce) and Daisy (Erica Gluck) are being horribly influenced by the pervasive evil....

Notes
Goofs:
Factual errors: In the beginning of the movie it was clearly stated that there was no electricity in the burned out store, however, in the scene where Ben Carson is supposedly in the basement breaking a hole in the wall, the florescent ceiling lights are on. There is also a close up shot of an incandescent bulb flickering on and off. How could that be if there is no electricity in the building? (more)
