Kiefer Sutherland’s new movie Mirrors opens this weekend, and it’s going to be awful. It’s distributor, 20th Century Fox, has officially admitted as much, by refusing to screen the film for the press. Their hope is no doubt, the same one held by every distributor with a stinker on their hands: get it in theaters and get people buying tickets before the bad buzz gets started. Or at least that’s what we’re left to assume, whenever a movie is hidden from reviewers. I suppose there’s always room for the exception that proves the rule.
They seem less concerned though, about letting people see the film’s opening scene than they are about showing off the entire movie. The first three minutes of Mirrors, the movie’s opening scene, is online and available for viewing below. It’s really not bad. I guess it’s all downhill from there, if Fox really thinks they need to hide it. But as an opener for a horror movie, I’ve seen a lot worse. I mean at least there wasn’t violence against cats involved. Take a look, if you’re over 18. It’s Red Band.
