Someone really liked Halloween, but this time using mirrors!
With an opening bells that makes you think Michael Myers, we start with a mother getting it on with a guy, and her two young kids are watching. The kids go on to kill the guy, but the evil of the moment is trapped in a mirror... it takes time, but that mirror eventually comes back into the movie, now the kids have grown up, and then the deaths start happening. Not entirely believable deaths, but some of them are really funny. Will the evil be defeated... or even survived, or will there be obvious sequel baiting?
It's amazing how much Halloween this is, although I don't know where the whole mirror aspect came from. It's used to excuse deaths in a way that gets around needing to have an actual killer, although we get plenty of deep breathing as if there is an actual spirit, so that's something.
Aside from a cameo from John Carradine, I can't say I recognised anyone. But considering the quality of this movie, the acting is fine.
Note this is THE Boogey Man, with its trilogy, not Boogeyman, with that trilogy. However, I can't find the actual sequels, just that other series.
