I really like it when film takes an idea that many would deem to be an old wives tale bringing it right into the screen.
There are those who believe that broken mirrors are not a good sign…others still believe that mirrors are a portal into another world. So when the somewhat normal family settles into their home one evening for a fairly normal day, you know something has gone wrong when out of nowhere the mirror in the dining room shatters.
Oh this is the start of quite an adventure. Although I am not certain if the show deserves to be called Sci-Fi, it definitely fits into the horror genre.
There are broken mirrors everywhere and what appears to be an invasion of some sort that seems to make use of mirrors. I braved certain parts of the show until we are taken to the other side of the mirror and up to the point where suspicious characters appear right behind the main characters in the mirror.
To say that I was able to come to a logical conclusion after the movie would be a stretch. It is not clear who the villain is and if there are an endless number of bad people. It is still not clear whether the others are trying to take over and just how many they are. There are clues however.
When a doctor who was once critical of an X-ray seems to be fine with the results this time around, you become increasingly aware that the game has changed and someone evil is now in change.
The frustrating thing about these types of shows is just how far away everyone seems to be from the law and its enforcement officers. This creates a feeling of helplessness and both for those who are stuck in the film and those who are invited in to serve as adjudicators.
