 From
the director of "The Hills Have Eyes" comes "MIRRORS," the
terrifying story of troubled ex-cop who must save his family
from an unspeakable evil that is using mirrors as a gateway
into their home.
Ben Carson (KIEFER SUTHERLAND) has seen better days. It's
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 and left him crashing on his sister's
couch in Queens.
Desperate to pull his life together and 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 the darkness like a rotting 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 stun
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 troubled
ex-cop finds himself battling his personal demons and the
ones that have hijacked his reflection, tormenting him with
convulsions, spontaneous bleeding and near suffocation.
His sympathetic but skeptical sister Angela (AMY SMART)
dismisses these bizarre "nightmares" as a consequence of his
stress and guilt over the accidental shooting, but Carson's
estranged wife Amy (PAULA PATTON), 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.
