Shock got their mitts on the first one-sheet for director Alexandre Aja’s latest horror film Mirrors. Though the poster’s design and imagery are standard for the genre, at least it doesn’t lack creepiness. We posted the teaser trailer and linked a superior video clip last week, and reader response was justifably mixed. And we should point out that, according to Aja, his film is not a remake of the Korean supernatural flick, Into the Mirror, though it’s still being frequently reported as such on the Nets.
Kiefer Sutherland stars as a mall security guard who sees dead people (not in the Haley Joel Osment-way) and, need I tell you, freaky, knife-wielding reflections. Expect to hear a more solid Net consensus about the film after next month’s Comic Con. Twentieth Century Fox allowed Aja final cut, complete with his preference for the ending, so I remain optimistic that this will be an above-par and fun effort. As it stands, the marketing could work harder to make the film, set for August 15th, stand out from endless Grudge retreads.

That poster is creepy , and I don’t throw that word around like I do with shit or ass.
I’m digging this film. (Yep)…… !
In my simple-mind this is the Prequel to the Prequel of 24, season 7.
(Hear me out on this).
Jack Bauer is taking on part-time work at the (Woodland Hills) Mall as a security guard and its all haunted and shit, ghosts are coming out of the mirrors breaking stuff.
Can’t torture a ghost for info, and all he’s got is Pepper spray,,,,,,, (this is where the ghost ass kicking happens). He somehow enters into their realm , kills the bad ass demon and escapes , comes back into our world just as the Mall is opening up, he’s blamed for all the damage the demon’s ghosts did and fired.
This is gonna be great.
(Cerebral note).
I just have to mentally insert the name Jack over whatever name he has in the film, cool I’m there!

I saw the trailer for this at The Happening screening and I have to say it looked pretty scary.
