I was expecting a much worse film when I sat down to watch it. I figured the scene at the beginning would be the best scene as a naked girl wanders through some tunnels and finds a mirror. It was, but the rest of the film holds up pretty good considering the low budget. However, it prevented itself from being a good movie by setting up a few things that are never resolved leaving one to wander just where were they going with it. I do not know if it was the film makers intent to create a sequel, but the way it ended made me not care for the movie as much as I would have, had they simply tied up a few loose ends.
The story has a bevy of nurse who have been playing something they called the mirror game. What is the reason for them playing this game, you ask? I have no idea...one of the unresolved issues. I just know the main nurse and all around bad girl is obsessed with this game and it's changing her body. No word on why it is doing these things or what she is getting out of it. Well a girl is taken and killed by Mary and soon the victim's sister is there to try and find her sister who at the start is presumed missing. It all ties back to the psychiatric institution her sister and the other nurses work at. It may also have something to do with one of the doctors and a patient seems to be really deep in it...once again though there is nothing in the end that tells you why the doctor is doing what he is doing or what the relationship between Mary and the one patient is. They seemed to want to set up a lot of stuff, but they fail to deliver a payoff. Heck, I am not even sure why Mary was doing her thing.
So the film was going pretty good, but the ending kind of derailed this film from being an okay horror film, to a not good and not bad one. There is some nice nudity, the acting is not great, but considering there are no actors in this one it is not horrid either. It moved at a nice pace and at times it had good atmosphere. I just wish they would have revealed some stuff at the end rather than revealing virtually nothing at the end!
