Mirrors in horror movies often depict alternate reality or simply possession; sometimes they symbolize vanity or a sinister other self.
Read update From the harrowing anxiety audiences get whenever a medicine cabinet is opened to the superstitious fear linked to urban myths and curses, mirrors in horror cinema are expertly used to set audiences on edge and deliver genuine scares. Mirrors in storytelling can often be used to symbolize vanity or a sinister other self, depict eerie gateways into alternate realities, or can simply be used to hint at possession or a mounting evil lurking in plain sight.
'Mirrors' Director: Alexandre Aja Mirrors follows an ex-cop, Carson and his family as they become targets of an evil force that uses mirrors to gain entrance into the real world. As his family begins to see some odd reflections of themselves in the mirror, Carson realizes he needs to do something to save his family.
'Dark Mirror' Director: Pablo Proenza As a relatively low-budget horror from the 2000s, Dark Mirror outperformed expectations with intriguing ideas tied to Chinese legends about the spirits of the dead and how they can be held within glass surfaces. The film follows a photographer and her family as they move into a new house with a dark history tied to a renowned artist and his family who mysteriously disappeared.
The mayhem on display starts at a family dinner party where a mirror smashes, setting Gina on a turbulent and unsettling trajectory as she desperately tries to discern reality from nightmarish fantasy. Leaning heavily into the urban myth surrounding the curse of breaking mirrors, The Broken plays gleefully on superstition to unnerving effect.
