Goofs

At the point where 'Nikki' is found in the bathtub by Ron, she is hauled out of the tub fully clothed and soaked - but in the next shot on the bathtub edge, her shirt (underneath the towel given to dry her) is visibly dry and gets wet again as she attempts to drown him.

User Reviews

Underrated film

This film is excellent, and it is so underrated. The atmosphere is good. Excellent acting...Rainbow Harvest does a great performance as Megan. Karen Black does a fairly good performance as the wacky mother. The ending to this film is one of the most brilliant endings I have seen in my lifetime. No other ending like it. The film is not really scary, thought I am sure some may find it scary. I like the look of the mirror, also. Special effects are pretty good for the low budget.Film is hard to find to rent, best bet is either to buy the MIRROR, MIRROR COLLECTION (worth the 20 bucks just for the first 2 films, 3 and are crap) or to go to a Ma and Pa Video Store. Recommended for horror fans everywhere! 8/10
