The Mirror (III) (2014)
7/10
Creepy mirror horror sub-genre carries on
30 September 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This found footage entry features 3 flatmates who buy a supposed

haunted antique mirror online in the hope of winning a million dollars in a paranormal challenge. All they have to do is prove the existence of ghosts.

They of course set up the mirror on the wall, and the apartment up in cameras, as things slowly get out of hand. One of the three immediately starts to undergo a drastic mental transformation, and the other two simply don't know how to deal with it. Things get progressively creepy and weirder around the apartment as they finally start to wonder if the mirror is really haunted.

The first hour of this movie is creepy and effective in places, but does suffer a little from being a little repetitive, with not much moving the plot forward from time to time.

The last half hour ramps up the tension and is where the film really delivers in its scares. There is a little bit of gore and a couple of nice scary sequences.

Overall worth a watch, especially for fans of the found footage sub-genre.
