Horror Double Feature: Mirrors / 13 Hours In A Warehouse

Mirrors

Keifer Sutherland is an ex-cop recently tossed out by his wife for what I can only assume is less than couth behavior, although, his wife does seem like an uptight twat. Anyhow, he gets a job working at an abandoned department store as a night security guard. He quickly becomes obsessed with the pristine mirrors that line the walls of the department store. He finds that the mirrors are haunted and can inflict some paranormal pain on him. Problem is that the entity is not quarantined to the mirrors of the department store. He brings the hauntings home to his family like a bad case of gonorrhea. Long story short, he finds out that the mirror ghost is a demon that was trapped in there. A young possessed girl had the demon cast out during therapy at a mental asylum that previously existed on the site of the condemned department store. He tracks down the girl who is now a geriatric aged nun, and forces her into the department store to confront the demon that has once possessed her. Lots of explosions happen and when you think Keifer Sutherland is the winner you realize that he is now trapped inside the mirror. All in all not a bad film. Too bad I can't say the same for...

13 Hours In a Warehouse

This was a Red Box impulse rental I picked up after grabbing some items at the grocery store to make souvlaki. Never heard of it and wish I would have left it right there in that Red Box where I found it. It was about five guys that just robbed an art gallery and are hiding out in a warehouse til morning for the buyer of the painting. Sound familliar? Movie is a Reservoir Dogs rip off with a horror spin to it. Acting is trashcans... I kept waiting for a soft core porn film to break out. The script tried to be fresh with those Quentin Tarantino style diatribes that just came off super annoying. The "ghosts" in this movie were like odd digital overlays that were probably done with some effects on iMovie. I hung in for an hour but didn't make it. I don't know what happened and I don't give a fuck. Maybe Nice Guy Eddie shows up or something. F minus on every aspect of this piece of shit.
