Suzan Crowley, The Devil Inside All Hollywood needs is a good movie and North Americans will return to movie theaters. Well, The Devil Inside is apparently that "good" movie: with an 8% approval rating among Rotten Tomatoes' critics, the horror thriller/exorcism "documentary" earned $2 million at Thursday midnight screenings at 1,400 sites. That's considerably more than Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' $1.25 million in mid-December.

Chicago – “Mirrors” is a so-so horror movie helped a bit by its interesting director’s visual flourishes and a better-than-average ensemble but ultimately shattered by an incoherent screenplay and dialogue that is more likely to produce laughter than shivers.
Kiefer Sutherland has not yet successfully made the transition back from TV star to movie star with a series of roles in his “24” years that could be deemed questionable at best. “Phone Booth,” “Taking Lives,” “The Sentinel,” and, now, “Mirrors”. It’s not a stellar string of decisions.

Mirrors was released by Fox Home Video on January 13th, 2009.
