Mirrors
Rated R · 110 minutes · 2008

Asian horror films, no matter how scary they are onscreen in their native languages, tend to make for terrible adaptations — something Hollywood hasn’t yet figured out. Mirrors (based on Sung-ho Kim’s Into the Mirrors) is the latest to suffer for this cinematic ignorance. Keifer Sutherland stars as a boozy ex-NYPD cop looking for redemption as a mall security guard because, you know, that’s where you go for redemption. Of course, the mall is possessed; gory images appear in its mirrors and soon follow the mall cop home to his family. The building used to house an asylum, after all — what did you expect? You’d probably expect entertainment, too, but don’t look for it here (110 min.).
