Mad Tiger Movie Review

Ok, I am coming out of the closet, I can‘t hide it anymore. . I am a secret Horror Movie fan.

I went to see Mirrors today starring Kiefer Sutherland as Ben Carson. If you are expecting Jack Bauer in this one, then you will be disappointed. It also stars, Paula Patton as Amy Carson , Ben’s estranged wife, and Amy Smart as Angela Carson, Ben’s sister.

Ben Carson has seen better days. Its been nearly a year since the volatile detective was suspended from the NYPD for fatally shooting another undercover officer, an accident that not only cost him his job, but fueled the alcoholism and anger that has alienated his wife and kids that has left him crashing on his sister’s couch in Queens.

Desperate to reconnect with his family, Carson takes a job as a night watchman at the burned -out ruins of the Mayflower Department Store. What once was a symbol of prosperity and grandeur now sits decaying in darkness like a ghost ship, destroyed by a massive fire that devoured numerous innocent lives.

As Carson patrols the eerie, charred remains of the store, he begins to notice something sinister about the ornate mirrors that adorn the Mayflower walls. Reflected in the gigantic shimmering glass are horrific images that stuns Carson.

Beyond projecting gruesome images of the past, the mirrors appear to be manipulating reality as well. When Carson sees his own reflection being tortured, he suffers the physical effects of his fractured visions . Suddenly the

His sympathetic but skeptical sister Angela dismisses these bizarre “nightmares” as a consequence of his stress and guilt over the accidental shooting, but Carson’s estranged wife Amy, a no-nonsense NYPD medical examiner, is less forgiving. Her husband’s increasingly erratic behavior frightens her, pushing his family farther away and, she fears, it’s putting their children in danger.

But a much deadlier threat looms, trapped within the mirrors and reflective surfaces that pervade their everyday life. As Carson investigates the mysterious disappearance of a Mayflower security guard and its possible connection to his ghastly visions, he realizes that a malevolent, otherworldly force is using reflections as a gateway to terrorize him and his family.
If he has any hope of saving his wife and children from a horrifying death, Carson must somehow uncover the truth behind the mirrors and convince Amy to help him battle the greatest evil he has ever faced.

I admit this one even made me jump a few times. This movie is rated R for violence and disturbing scenes. I it is definitely not one for children. I give this movie 31/2 tiger paws.
