Mirrors 2 was a 2010 straight-to-DVD release, and boy did Regency Enterprises miss out on this one. Of all the film not to chance at the Box Office, Mirrors 2 wasn't the one. I really liked the first film with Kiefer Sutherland. Regency Enterprises made out well with Mirrors, with a Box Office total of over $77 million off a $35 million budget. But they didn't have faith in the sequel, which in my opinion is an even better film, and a solid stand alone movie as well. Even if you haven't seen Mirrors, part 2 is viewable and easily enjoyed.
No spoilers in this, sorry... But here's a quick overview.
Nick Stahl is Max Matheson, the unstable son of Jack Matheson (William Katt) the new owner of the Mayflower. Max is finally starting to deal with the tragic death of his fiancee (Jennifer Sipes) a year earlier, and goes to work for his father as the night guard at the Mayflower, after the former guard decided to have glass for lunch. It's not long before Max starts seeing strange things inside the mirrors, and the Mayflower executives start viciously dying off one by one. When Max finally realizes that the entity inside the mirrors is actually Eleanor Reigns (Stephanie Sanchez), a Mayflower employee that has been missing for two months, he enlists the aid of Eleanor's older sister, Elizabeth (Emmanuelle Vaugier).
There is plenty of mystery to go hand in hand with the gore in Mirrors 2. The story is solid and the plot never drifts off course, couple that with wonderful performances by Nick Stahl, Emmanuel Vaugier, and Stephanie Sanchez, and you have true entertainment that hooks minutes into the film and holds you right to the end.
I give Mirrors 2 a strong 4 1/2 stars
