"at some point Aja appears to have decided that he cannot be bothered with all this remake malarkey, and instead he just goes completely ape with his plotting...could well go on to become a cult classic."
Little White Lies
Anton Bitel
"It's too bad that other elements of 'Mirrors" lack the brilliance of its visual artistry."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
2.5/5
"
Mirrors
is a minor success, meaning it's a pretty big failure as well."
PopMatters

"With Aja slathering on the cheap boo scares, overseeing rancid performances, barely investing in his screenplay, and showing questionable gorehound taste in violent imagery,
Mirrors
eventually reflects absolute tedium."

"It's so ridiculous that it even makes The Exorcist franchise films seem more sensible."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2/4
"
Mirrors
isn't a total wash of a horror film, but it is not unreasonable to expect more from a filmmaker who has delivered stronger, more confident works in the past."

"Really doesn't have much up its sleeve other than parlor tricks and gimmicks."

"Kiefer Sutherland plays a variant of his Jack Bauer character--except that this time, it's the audience he tortures, and he fails to defuse the bomb--the movie, that is."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1/4
"Alexandre Aja's inability to delineate credible or interesting characters results in 110 wasted minutes for anyone unfortunate to wander into an auditorium where this is playing."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
1/5
"ena remake poy oso pio polla soy leei, toso pio ilithio fainetai"
Movies for the Masses
Joseph Proimakis
1/4
"A slab of shoddy, hollow rubbish that can't be bothered to concoct imaginative frights or even tenuous bonds between its supernatural terror and its characters' human drama."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
1/5
"While watching it won't necessarily lead to seven years of bad luck, it does make for a fairly aggravating 110 minutes."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
3/5
"It's not much of a compliment to call Mirrors "considerably better than Shutter, Pulse, or One Missed Call," but the flick is just good enough to make one wish it had shown up before those turkeys."
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
"Aja...apparently thinks that metaphysical speculation is for wimps; his audience wants red meat, and he's going to give it them, no matter how inappropriate it is."
ESplatter
Steve Biodrowski
2/10
"Ranking far below the adaptations of "The Ring" and "The Grudge," this Asian horror film re-make is simply ludicrous."
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
3/10
"I suppose
Offscreen Spring-Loaded Cats
is in active development even as I write."
