Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, mirrors have always been a very spiritual thing.
And the legends about it are endless, and I have heard the story of Bloody Mary, if you want to see it, just shout three times in the mirror: Bloody Mary, she will appear in front of you.
There is also a legend that you should not look in the mirror at two o'clock in the middle of the night, otherwise you will see people other than yourself. It seems that in those legends, the mirror seems to be the yin and yang boundary, something with evil qi. Good use can ward off evil spirits, and if you use them badly, you will ignite your body.
And in the film and television drama, it is also the mirror that makes a big fuss, remember the woman who combed her hair in the mirror at midnight? There are also Taoist monks who take the mirror to collect the devil, in short, the magic and strangeness of the mirror always give people both truth and illusion.
After watching the following movie, I hope you still have the courage to look in the mirror at night.

The movie begins with the male protagonist Tim, who is conscious and admits to shooting and killing his family when he was a child. After the identification, the male protagonist successfully came out of the psychiatric hospital.
After coming out, they were taken back to the house where they used to live when they were young, and Kelly told the male protagonist that the tragedies of that year were all because of an ancient mirror, which can deceive people's minds and have fantasies. In order to avenge her family, Kelly bought the mirror and put it back in her home, devising a series of ways to destroy the mirror.
Kelly placed several cameras and alarm clocks in the room, and designed a device that could break the mirror. They are ready to destroy the mirror after proving its harmful magic. Sure enough, strange things began to happen, the camera began to change position inexplicably, and when the video was played back, the sisters and brothers found that they had unconsciously changed the position of the camera.
Obviously, the ancient mirror has been activated, and the film begins to alternate between reality and past, explaining the truth about the murder of the family of the male protagonist. The two began to feel unable to control the ancient mirror and decided to escape. However, the sisters and brothers who had just run out of the house looked back and saw that there was still themselves in the house, and it was obvious that they could not tell whether what was in the house was the real self or what was outside the house was the real self. In desperation, the two had to return to the house, and the strange and exciting story officially unfolded from this moment.
The horror atmosphere of this movie is very appropriate, the plot setting is also very clever, and it invisibly arouses the curiosity of the audience, which is a high score in American horror movies. It is recommended to watch it during the day when there is nothing to do, after all, horrors often happen at night, and such a wonderful plot interrupts the fun and loses a lot.

At the beginning of the film, a strange mirror murder is shown, after which the male protagonist takes over the position of the man killed by the mirror, a shopping mall security guard who is destroyed by fire. The male protagonist found that the only mirror in the mall that was burned beyond recognition was very clean, and the supervisor told him that it was wiped by the dead security guard before, but that night the male owner found that there was an extra handprint on the mirror.
Strange things began to happen, the male protagonist saw himself in the mirror being burned by the fire, and soon the reality of himself also felt the pain of being burned by the fire. The man was awake because of an injury to his hand, and found the wallet of the previous security guard on the ground, and saw the soul that had been burned by the fire in the mirror.
At the same time, the son of the man's family seemed to find that the mirror in the house was a little strange, but it did not attract the attention of his mother. And the male protagonist because of the quarrel with his wife borrowed to live in the sister's home, it seems that the devil in the mirror entangled with the male protagonist, the male protagonist's sister was also killed by his own self, the male protagonist who could not stand it decided to go to the mall to destroy the mirror, but found that there was no way to destroy the mirror.
But a name appeared on the mirror, which was the person who set fire to the mall, because this person thought that the mirror of the mall had killed his whole family. The male protagonist decided to track down the truth of the mirror killing, all the way to the investigation, and finally the male protagonist was trapped in the mirror world by the mirror.
The pace of the film is very tight, the buried foreshadowing and shaking out of the baggage is also reasonable, the sudden appearance of horror shots is enough to make people stunned, but the suspense tempts the audience to watch it hard. It is recommended to watch this film in a place without a mirror, and I am really worried about seeing myself in the mirror smiling strangely after watching it.

The film is made up of stories from three seemingly unconnected eras, but in fact there is an inevitable connection between the story and the story. Chronologically, the origin of the story takes place in the Ming Dynasty, when a prostitute was murdered by a high-ranking official who befriended her. Before her death, the prostitute left her own bloody handprints on the mirror of the dresser.
The first story takes place in Shanghai in 1922, where a half-paralyzed Ma Li receives a gift from her cousin, who has been dead for five years, the dresser. The strange things have since unfolded, and the magic mirror on the dresser reveals the crime of Ma Li killing her husband, and the soul of the deceased husband is stored in the magic mirror to seek revenge on Ma Li. The first story ends with Mary's Blood Splash Magic Mirror.
The second story comes in 1988, when a famous Singapore lawyer received a strange dresser, his temperament changed dramatically, defending a rich boy who had committed murder and successfully exonerated him. Unexpectedly, he was injured in a car accident and disfigured. On the day of the removal of the stitches after the plastic surgery, the strange thing happened again, and Zhan Xin was actually groomed into the face of the victim of the murder of the rich family's children.
The last story is in 1999, when Aunt Lan's husband died prematurely, and her only hope was pinned on her grandson Maddy, who sent him to a foreign country to study. When the grandson returned from school, he also came back with a foreign fiancée Mei, who did not get along well with Aunt Lan.
When Mei found out that Aunt Lan had a huge family property left by her husband, she began to please Aunt Lan. In order to share the family business with Maddy, Mei decided to kill Aunt Lan and blame others. But everything didn't go as smoothly as she expected...
Although the film is old, the horror atmosphere of the story set that references Hitchcock is still in place, and the legend is the childhood shadow of many people. Seeing the mirror will recall the scene where Lin Xinru shook his head off. I hope that after reading it, don't become your mirror shadow.
