"So, This Is Where All The Power Comes From!"...

Warning: Spoilers
A flashback opening shows us the bloody murder of a woman by her identical twin sister. This has something to do with an odd, whispering mirror. Fast forward to recent days, and MIRROR MIRROR begins.

A woman named Emelin (Yvonne de Carlo) now has the dreaded mirror in her antique shop. That is, until Susan Gordon and her daughter, Megan (Karen Black and Rainbow Harvest) move into the mirror's original abode, finding it there!

Megan attends her new high school, sporting her goth / Boy George ensemble, finding the other students to be less than tolerant of her fashion sense. They even resort to excluding and taunting her! Megan just doesn't seem to fit in.

Meanwhile, Emelin discovers an old diary, and bones up on the mirror's horrible history. Soon, strange things start happening, and Megan's frenemies drop like flies. Her school experience improves exponentially through attrition.

Simultaneously, the creepy mirror oozes blood, the dog dies, and Susan wonders why she's in this movie.

Everyone is great, making this a wonderfully hilarious viewing experience. Vintage horror cheeeze like this doesn't grow on trees. That is, unless you have a cheeeze tree, of course.

BEST SCENES: #1- The boiled in the shower scene! #2- The bathtub drowning scene! #3- The garbage disposal scene! #4- The sensational, supernatural showdown finale!...
