Got a thing for possessed furniture, or have you ever been the victim of possessed furniture? Well, don't waste your time watching Geraldo reruns trying to find people like you, simply watch MIRROR, MIRROR! This flick centers around Megan: goth chick who looks like Wynona Ryder in her BEETLEJUICE daze, who gets forced into moving to a small town from LA for the sake of her mom's stupid therapy. Instantly she is outcast by her preppy bitch classmates, except for this girl named Nikki who actually befriends her. However, in the new house Meg lives in, is this really old and really evil mirror that sits in Meg's bedroom. Well, after Meg wishes for her daddy to return, she gets an angry, worm eaten corpse! Sure, most sensible people would have that mirror on the next Salvation Army truck, but Megan, despite the incident with the undead dad, decides that this evil mirror thing could actually work in her favor! Before you can say "Snow White", Meg's got the thing giving the preppies nosebleeds and asthma. Granted, it's not much at first, but it's more than you can do with your thoughts! We learn though, that it's not just some evil mirror, but a gateway to a demonworld! The thing basically takes control of Meg, who gives herself up to it willingly, licking streams of blood off of it, then getting groped by the horny demon within! Gotta love a chick who can be so hot, and so evil at the same time, without being a bitch! Meg isn't all that into demons though, so she has the mirror possess some stud from school. She gets down and nasty with him, till the dumbass comes to his senses, making him a target for a demon buffet! An antique dealer woman comes around later on to check out the demonic looking glass, getting a painful shard of glass and her dog devoured for her troubles. Then it uses hot steam to scald the queen of the preppy sluts to death, which is pretty cool when you think of how that's gotta hurt! Megan starts getting a little spastic about the situation though, practically confessing to the murders! Shut up girl! But, the power corrupts her completely, as it does with any person, and she becomes a totally self-serving bitch herself. She gets so greedy that she has the mirror seduce and mutilate her friend Nikki's boyfriend! You can almost hear the Jerry Springer chants in the background. Meg gets brought out of her selfishness though, when she accidentally makes the mirror possess the garbage disposal and eat her mother! Then, the mirror, not all that happy that Megan's trying to leave it, decides it best to just kill Meg too. So it does. But, Nikki's there, and she makes a wish for everything to go back to the way it was before. This leads to a confusing end scene that resembles the very opening of the movie. In this one, Nikki is dressed in some old fashioned clothes and is in a room with the mirror. A demon resembling Riff Raff exits the mirror half way, before going back in when Nikki tells it to do so. She then covers the mirror with a black sheet, and it ends... Somebody please tell me what the FUCK just happened here?! Other than that particularly confusing ending and the corny "whirlwinds of paper and blue music video lighting" scene where Meg's killed, this movie was pretty good. Better than the average CARRIE spawn, and enough to keep me awake through the whole thing. Nice gore FX, especially the garbage disposal eating Meg's mom! The demon itself looked pretty cool too, resembling Riff Raff from ROCKY HORROR as I mentioned before. Besides, even if you don't like the movie, at least you'll still have the cool box to stare at for endless hours! Hooray for holograms (the first on a video box in history)!
