The fear, the feeling that, when transformed to the movies, can cause reactions in us completely different depending on the individual. The visceral fear if the public is receptive, comic effect if the situations are ridiculous or boredom. Unfortunately, this third scenario that applies to this film's vision of French Alexandre Aja, director of the remake already The Hills Have Eyes , a monument of horror film. At least, the recipe did not work on me, yet fond of this kind of show. Quick Synopsis
: Ben Carson, former Inspector of Police, plagued by a death which he is responsible, trying to recover. Temporarily separated from his wife and his children, he released gradually from alcoholism, living with his sister. He landed a job as a supervisor in a luxury supermarket in New York who burned down some time ago in a mysterious fire. He quickly realizes that the mirrors of the store (oddly intact) reflect events contrary to reality. A vision of horror of those burned in the fire at the store, hallucinations he feels physically. Gradually, the curse will spread to all the mirrors that crosses Ben ... whole program.
The reasons are many of my disappointment in fact. First of all what I felt to the end of the film is a sense of deja vu, a succession of images of horror cinema. Staged brilliantly of course, but the monotony was quickly installed.
Finally, the set of actor Kiefer Sutherland has not convinced me at all, the hero's misfortunes consecutive struggle to shine on the face of our blond. His relations with everyone he tries to convince the phenomenon is truncated by a serious lack of conviction.
Warning spoiler gonna dry!
As I wrote just before, the cliches abound in this film. Firstly, the heart of the film, mirrors are often used in the horror film: "I look in the mirror, I quickly looked away, and when the hop is the eye on the mirror face of a nasty monster or a murderer appears with a mini jingle that startles. This case, we are right several times in the film obviously.
Then, when the story moved, Ben continues his investigation and discovers that it was a little girl possessed and interned in an old mental hospital (whose foundations are under the department store) which is the origin of this curse. Again we are treated to horrific visions of this girl, ultra images previously used in films from the Exorcist to The Ring or The Grudge . I also do not know who decided that little girls with long hair were worrying scare so many people, but here in my case, it was once too often.
The denouement of the story is also very disappointing. In psychiatry, the girl was being treated by being attached in a room surrounded by mirrors, these are the mirrors that have absorbed the demons that are terrorizing the girl now and all those approaching. Our good Kiefer has understood the need to bring the nun in this room hazards (dedicated) to eradicate the evil, gniark gniark.
So why the curse has spread to all the mirrors of the store and then everything was a reflection which crosses the eyes of people who had the misfortune to approach the "mirror of origin"? I think that this question will remain unanswered (bad) luckily.
short, a settlement just as far fetched as the plot in itself, and sadly, I had decided to spend some time with fear.
I had put in more situations: no light in the room, curtains closed, and popcorn rigor, normal what.
