Girl sees keeps seeing reflections of herself and goes crazy.

A VERY bad movie with a broken plot, bad actors, and clearly a terrible director/producer. Believe it or not, I actually sat through the entire movie (I should not even call it a movie - does not even deserve that title) just to see how bad it can possibly get and trust me, it got pretty bad. The movie actually got worst and worst as the movie progressed. I was actually laughing by the end of the movie just watching the unbearable and inexplicable chain of events. You can tell its a very low-budget film from the onset. They could have maybe worked something out of the story, if the movie actually had actors or a true director. They were all amateurs and seemed as if they were acting for the first time ever. This was easily the worst movie I have ever seen, and I've some pretty bad movies. It should be listed top 10 on IMDb's bottom 250. Please save yourself the anguish and the two hours.
