What's great about Mirrors 2 is that the whole film is well paced from the start until the end and the film's deliberate pacing is really good and I never got bored with the whole film and I just love how the film is paced really well. The beginning of the film is a great start and it is a pretty dramatic during the opening scene. Then the second half of the film is quick and quite fast paced. The third half of the film is dark and scary at the same time and the movie's finale is tense and thrilling at the same time and the film's pacing is overall impressive. The other things I like about this movie is that the whole film is full of creepy and scary scenes and the film's scares are effective like when Max encounters the ghost of Eleanor Reigns in the first night of his work is pretty creepy and scary at the same time and the way Eleanor Reigns look like in the movie is so damn creepy and scary at the same time and every time I see her in the film she just creeps me out and the way Eleanor looks like is damn creepy and scary at the same time and I like how Eleanor looks like in the whole movie a lo and she just looks damn scary in the whole movie and the film's scares are very effective so far. I also enjoy the film's settings and I love how the whole Mayflower building looks like in the movie and the way the building looks like is so good the hallway of the building even the under ground tunnel in the movie is great and it totally fits well for the whole movie a lot and it gives the whole film a unique atmosphere. Speaking of the atmosphere the film's cinematography is crafted really well and thanks to cinematographer Lorenzo Senatore he managed to create a dark and gothic atmosphere in this movie and the way the cinematography is used in the film is just plain great and I love how Lorenzo Senatore managed to create gallons of impressive camera work in the film like the scene where Max had a nightmare I love how the camera managed to rotate in that scene and overall I did like the cinematography in this film a lot.
What I also like about this film is that the whole film is full of impressive kills and the kills may have been done in a Direct To DVD Budget style but it is totally executed really well in this movie and every kill looks impressive and it does maybe given a Straight To DVD Budget but the kills look I think a bit more like a theatrical budget rather than a Straight To DVD Budget and every kill is totally executed in a really good way. There are lots of kills where the gore is also well used and every kill scene in this movie is just great. The decapitation scene in this film is super gory and really thrilling at the same time. The gutting scene is probably one of the nastiest kills in this movie and the disturbing and nasty opening scene where the first night security guard gets his mouth a lot of disgusting cuts when his reflection started eating glass which causes his whole face to have gallons of cuts is one of the most disturbing scenes in the film and it will give you a lot of nasty looking gross outs through out the whole movie and the finale where Keller gets his body pulled into the mirror is one of the most impressive parts of the film and I totally admit that scene is very impressive and the CGI is well used in that scene and overall the film's special effects are top notch and entertaining at the same time.
Now the acting is great all of the casts did a really good job with their work in the film and the casts totally did an amazing job with their work in the film. Nick Stahl managed to do a really impressive job with his performance as the protagonist Max Matheson. Emmanuelle Vaugier did a good job with her work in the film as Elizabeth Reigns who is the sister of the ghost Eleanor Reigns. William Katt managed to do a really good job with his work in the film as Max's father and I like his acting in the Stephen King Adaptation Carrie while the rest like Christy Romano and the other new actors did a really good job with they're work in the film a lot and I totally like how the casts did a wonderful job with they're work in the movie so far. Director Victor Garcia did a really good job with his work on this movie and I like his work on Return To The House On Haunted Hill and he totally nailed this one this time and he totally understands how to work on Horror movies a lot and I'm pleasantly surprised with the way he worked on this movie a lot and I can't wait for what he will do next in the future and I hope he will make another Horror film which will mark as his first Theatrical film rather than a Direct To DVD movie like this one and Return To House On Haunted Hill. I just can't believe that after he made two successful Direct To DVD Horror films he almost went down the hill when he worked on the ninth Hellraiser film titled Hellraiser Revelations and he seriously almost went down the hill when he worked on that film because when he worked on Return To House On Haunted Hill and this movie he nailed it a lot but I can't believe that he almost went down the hill when he worked on Hellraiser Revelations because that film was shot in a quick and cheap budget because Dimension films was about to lose their rights to the series and needed to shoot another Hellraiser film for like two weeks thanks to losing the contract in making the Hellraiser series Victor Garcia should not have directed that film but its ok at least I still enjoyed his work on this film and his previous work which is Return To House On Haunted Hill. Overall Mirrors 2 is a worth watching Direct To DVD sequel that has a lot of goodies and some impressive ideas that are close to the original Korean movie titled Into The Mirror and I had a fun time watching this movie a lot and I love how the kills are executed even though they were given a Straight To DVD Budget.
