Mirrors (I) (2008)

Warning: Spoilers
Haute Tension is one of my favorite movies. Hills Have Eyes & P2 kept me believing that Alexandre Aja was on the road to something big.Really big.Now usually I don't judge too harshly if an artist slips up & makes one or two stinkers so long as they rebound & hold steady. Mirrors already had several strikes against it. Another remake?Come on man. Kiefer Sutherland?Really?! Yet I pressed on its Aja if anyone can turn these strikes into lightning its him. Wrong.Wrong.Wrong. This movie falls victim to every horror movie cliché & makes some new ones for good measure along the way(anyone count the number of times the word mirror was used just in the 1st 1/2 hour?!). There's zero chemistry between the actors. There's no tension no build up of suspense. The horror moments are laughable like the Grudge 2 House of Wax & The Amityville Horror. Christ im about to put the final nail in the coffin on this man being the future of horror over this. I log on to IMDb to see what his next project is & its yet another remake. He pulled a Wes Craven in just under 5 years. I know I haven't written any details on the movie & its because I cant its just too idiotic & honestly hurts my head to recall what I just suffered through. Mr.Aja please get out of the gutter & get back into making kick ass horror movies.Please?!?!?
