Just A "Cutesy" Teen Horror - NOT What I Expected
8 September 2017
I can see a bit of rip-off from "Carrie", "Christine", "Beetlejuice"

& "Edward Scissorhands" in this film.

The teen girl looks like she just walked out the mid-80s New Wave Goth scene (That Beetlejuice look about her lol).

There is quite a bit of comedy in this for it not to be a comedy-horror. Cutesy stuff like one would see from "Edward Scissorhands" - the mom, Karen Black's character and the woman showing off the house in the start of the film.

The goth daughter's attitude towards her new friend after she has the power from the mirror is quite a bit like Arnie's from "Christine".

Finally, the entire film is a teen revenge film using some sort of otherworldly power similar to "Carrie".

I was hoping this was going to be a good ghost story when I started the film but it is NOT ... I never saw the previews for this one, just watched it on Amazon Prime.

The film is not as the film's poster looks... nor nearly as good as it is described to be.
