In 2008, Alexandre Aja, acclaimed horror director of such films as The Hills Have Eyes Remake and High Tension, managed to get actor Kiefer Sutherland away from his hit television show 24, and bring him back into the horror genre. The film was Mirrors, the tale of an...

Director Alexandre Aja first jumped into the horror scene with 2003 horror hit Haute tension. Then he moved onto one of the better remakes in recent years THE HILLS HAVE EYES before directing this half good, half disappointing film MIRRORS. Maybe I'm being a bit too...

Ok , so you all must be saying to yourself, dam why does Horror Bob like this movie so much. I'll tell you why, My favorite movie of all time is Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window", and this film follows the "Rear Window" formula almost perfectly. Set in a apartment...

Alright, I'll be the first person to admit that I almost turned this film down for review because of the poster art. I also checked out the website, and the funky colors made me think it was just another home made film, by a filmmaker who had no clue about horror...
