Opening Scene From Mirrors Is Bloody Good

I’ve been a fan of French horror director Alexandre Aja ever since I first saw his gag-inducing 2003 film, High Tension. That respect only grew with his remake of The Hills Have Eyes, which was sadistic enough to make a nun cry. This month the connoisseur of gore ventures into ghostly territory with a remake of 2003 Korean horror-hit, Mirrors. And here’s your chance to preview the film’s opening scene.

(This clip is not safe for work viewing, and it is strictly for adults only!)

Mirrors tells the story of ex-cop (Kiefer Sutherland) who goes to work as a security guard in a local mall. There he discovers a department store whose collection of mirrors seem to give people a bit more reflection than they bargained for. When bodies start dropping, the security guard turns to his estranged wife (the über hot Paula Patton), a coroner, for help. But will she buy into his crazy story in time to save their family from the approaching evil? Probably not.

I see this movie really messing with people’s heads in a similar way that The Ring did, namely by using mundane items to inspire fear. After all, who doesn’t need to look into a mirror everyday?

There’s one fly in the ointment regarding the movie, however: It seems as though the film isn’t being pre-screened for critics, and although Aja has yet to drop a stinker on us, in the movie biz no pre-screening for critics = bad news. Here’s hoping Aja is just trying to keep things mysterious.

Mirrors hits theaters August 15, 2008. It was written and directed by Aja. If you haven’t yet seen the freaky-as-all-hell red band trailer for Mirrors, check that out first, then watch the clip below. Let us know if you get goose bumps.

Red Band Mirrors Trailer Is Pretty Damned Creepy

Hey, guess what? There’s something other than superhero movies coming out this summer.

Courtesy of IGN.com we’ve got the new red band (R-rated) trailer for the upcoming horror movie Mirrors starring Keifer Sutherland.

Before you watch it you have to promise me that you’re over 18, m’kay?

Now be warned there are more than a couple really creepy and extremely gory moments in this trailer. As a matter of fact I don’t that the studio won’t contact me to pull it since it doesn’t have age verification on it (but you did promise you were over 18, remember?).

Here’s the synopsis:

“Keifer Sutherland plays an ex-cop who works as a security guard at a mall and discovers something awry in the mirrors of a department store. While trying to discover the origin of the evil he soon discovers that there are murderous reflections out for revenge. He traces the haunted occurrences back to a hospital and a schizophrenic patient’s evil spirit trapped in a mirrored room.”

So what do you think? Personally, I don’t know if the movie will be any good but that’s one freakin’ creepy trailer.

Mirrors opens on August 15th.
