Mirror Mirror plot

"A reflection of pure terror..."

Megan and her daughter move into an old house. Rumors have it that the villa is bewitched, ghosts wander and mysterious disappearances are taking place. Megan struggles with puberty and often indulges in her fantasies. An antique mirror in her room plays a major role in this. When she stands in front of that mirror, her mind goes haywire. At first it all seems nice, but hand over hand the mirror reacts more and more bloody. Until the moment when evil takes over and the thoughts brought to life are completely out of control.

Pretty decent 90's high school horror. Gothic girl arrives at a new school in a strange city and is bullied by her fellow students. Coincidentally, there is an old mirror in her room and it turns out to contain a demon that gives her special powers, so she can deal with those annoying students. Style somewhere between The Craft and A Nightmare on Elm Street. There is a brief hint of Carrie, but it doesn't reach that level.

Supernatural high school horror film that we can classify as B-movies.

The story opens in the early 1950s in Iowa, where Mary sacrifices her sister Elizabeth to a large mirror. Forty years later, shy Megan Gordon (Rainbow Harvest) and her mother Susan Gordon (Karen Black) move to Los Angeles. In her new bedroom, Megan discovers a mirror left behind by the previous occupants. This is the same mirror we saw earlier in the film, and Megan soon realizes that it has certain powers. At her new school, she is bullied because of her Gothic appearance. She uses the mirror's powers to take revenge.

Nice roles by Karen Black and Rainbow Harvest, who could have been Winona Ryder's older sister. I immediately recognized Kristin Dattilo from Dexter, nice to see her back in a young role. William Anderson from Blade Runner '82. Also a nude scene by Charlie Spradling in the girls' shower room, which is always great in these old B-movies.

Soundtrack was sometimes nice, special effects were sad. Here and there some stolen from other films of that time, but oh well. Film radiated a good high school atmosphere and was nice to watch.

Film was recently released in 4K by Dark Force.
