Mirrors was a disappoint and this is coming from a true horror fan
Mirrors was simply bad. Not because it wasn't scary, because it was jumpy in two scenes, it was boring. Nothing was going on. The gore factor was surprisingly low and that's a low even for Alexandre Aja who makes his films gruesome non-stop from start to finish. Mirrors was completely different. There were so many twist and turns that the story never went anywhere and nothing made any sense. Sometimes things were so stupid I wonder if he recycled ideas from M. Night Shymalan. For sexual content, we see Amy getting ready to take a shower. (We see her buttocks, legs, bare back, and the side of her breast). For violence/gore there are only two gruesome scenes. One scene involves a female ripping her jaw off (extremely gory, gashes of blood, the whole act is on-screen). The other scene involves a man grabbing a shard of glass slashing his throat. (Gashes of blood). Kiefer Sutherland fights an evil nun and there is a lot of blood and gore in this scene. As for profanity, there are at least around 10 f words, some scatological terms, anatomical terms, religious exclamations and profanities, mild obscenities, and name-calling. Overall, skip Mirrors.

Despite the positive role-model characters who put family first, this film contains disturbing violence and gore. The language is strong, but not explicit. Overall, the child needs to understand the unrealistic nature of the film in order to view it without significant impact. The most questionable scene in the film for children is when a woman lies in a bathtub while her reflection in the mirror turns 'evil' and pulls her jaw apart. Blood sprays everywhere and her face is torn apart in real-life.

Creepy and gory
This movie literally left me looking back in mirrors when i passed by for about 2 weeks. It freaked me out, and was very gory, esp. when a character's jaw is pulled apart. I actually didn't watch because i didn't want that image in my mind. Don't watch if you are already scared of mirrors, or don't want to see blood (lots of it!)

The most boring horror movie I have ever seen~
This is, by far, the most boring and the stupidest horror movie I have ever seen. There were a lot of slow parts where nothing important happened. There was a lot of violence, but it wasn't terrifying at all, just stupid. The movie itself was not at all scary, and it seemed like the creators were using excessive violence to make it scary, which didn't work. I don't even understand why they needed anyone to guard a ruined building in the first place; why didn't they tear it down and build something new? It was a stupid movie and it wasn't scary for a 14 year old at all. Because of the violence and gore it's definitely not appropriate for anyone under the age of 13, but I don't recommend it to anyone, since it's a complete waste of time. :/

Freaky
This movie is interesting. It is violent and scary and has some occasional sexual things but nothing to serious. It is very bloody and gory. Not recommended for under 15.

Excellent For Mature Kids
It really didn't scare me, but I know all kids aren't like me. The violence in this movie I loved, and the rest of the movie isn't really worth it. But the violence got my attention, I watched it alone in my room and I started laughing. This movie should be for mature kids only, because I know the non-mature ones would probably almost throw up or have nightmares for a while.

Off: 0-13 Iffy:14-15 ON: 16 +
i loved this movie( SPOILER ALERT!!!) its a psychological thriller about a man who is on patrol at this old abandon mall or building and these demons are released when he arrives(no flying spirits ) and soon he has to start fighting demons in order to save his family but in the end gets trapped in the same horror. this is really not for kids in the single digits some parts of the movie is extremely violent like the scence where his sister jaw it ripped off and how thats happening is pretty graphic but its goo i would say its sexual because its not like there is sex and tongue kissing is movie to watch if in pyschological thrillers and he is good remodel for trying to save his family instead of just leting the demons kill and gets a nun who used to be possessed by them to do the right thing as well

I liked it a lot... It will most likely terrorize you from mirrors after watching it for a day or so... But it was pretty good. One of my favorite horror movies.

Not for the tender-hearted or w/e.
LOVED THIS MOVIE, it was good. Although it actually didn't scare me at all, i know it's all fake so it kind of mad me laugh at some parts. It was very gory and gruesome, had plenty of deaths and blood, etc. Not really that much cursing in all. Oh, and the little boy(the son) almost drowned, that was pretty much the scariest part for me because he was so adorable and inocent looking. All in all, it's a good movie, but you shouldn't allow younger children and teens to see it unless they don't scare easy, are with an adult or older sibling, or if a parent has seen it first and given them the "ok". -Kristina(:

Horror film with a unique premise is rendered unoriginal and boring
Mirrors is directed by Alexandre Aja, who directed Piranha 3D, after this film. And, honestly, it is obvious how one could end up in such a low point in ones career, when you have to direct B grade torture porn. Now, Mirrors really is a shameless, lost-cause of a horror movie. At first glance, the premise of mirrors getting into our world and causing people to cause extreme harm to themselves and everyone around them, really does sound like a decent idea for a horror movie, but, as you trudge through the movies nearly impenetrable 110 minute running time, the screenwriters have resorted to nothing more than a standard possession and exorcism movie, which is just ridiculous, because with a truly original horror movie idea like this, you would think that there would be absolutely no need, what so ever, to resort to lame and hackneyed storytelling in the last half-and hour of the movie, but, alas, director Aja, does exactly that. So, with the R Rating in hand, there are many things tat parents should be aware of: There is pretty much non-stop, continuous sequences of extremely graphic and gruesome horror violence, with many, many scenes of throats being cut, ripped open, a woman's jaw being torn off all completely on screen, and some extremely intense and frightening scenes of terror and horror, particularly the movies last thirty-minutes. Also, there is brief nudity in a scene from a woman taking a bath, which goes horribly wrong, but, none the less, she does expose her bare back and buttocks for a few seconds. And finally, there are about 1- uses of the F-word and its derivatives, but also includes several uses each of sh-t, hell, g-dd-mn, d-mn and b-tch. So, if you think that this movie has a decent sounding plot for a horror movie, than, well, you would be right, actually. But, just don't expect the ending to bring it all together perfectly. Skip it.

I'm gonna give an honest review,hope everyone says this review is useful.
(Do not discredit this review immediately,read text) Ok,I know some kids arent ready for seeing brain eating b****rds Or hacksaws but come on.mirrors.if you aren't ready for this stuff,don't see it.there are parents who let their child see it then grumble about it cos it's too violent.well I personally saw it with my brother on unrated edition on DVD and he freaked out.sometimes,even hardcore horror fans need to take a break.
