Dos nuevos afiches de Mirrors....y la sinopsis de la película (spoiler)

La verdad es que ni debería publicarla porque esta lectura casi que me contaba la película entera, pero bueno, este es de los pocos casos de películas que voy a ver sin importarme que....

a. Odio el cine de terror.
y b. Odio que me cuenten las películas antes de verlas. Sobre todo en los casos en que pienso verla: Si no, me da la misma vaina. Probablemente me ratifique las razones por las que no me voy a gastar los reales de la entrada.

Pero bueno, ultimadamente, es Kiefer. Serán las ¿dos horas? de romance visual con mi galán favorito de turno, que nunca vienen mal, aunque vengan con horror acompañado. Lástima que aún haya que esperar acá para que estrenen esa vaina en el cine. (31 de octubre de acuerdo a la web de Cines Unidos que también me da el dato del nombre de la película en español: Espejos Siniestros. BTW, arrechera por partida doble porque veo que Mamma Mía! me estrena apenas una semana antes. Y yo que quería ver esa película!)

En fin. El afiche superior es otra de las versiones gringas de esta película, el inferior es el que están promoviendo para la versión internacional de Mirrors. Y como se trata de spoiler, luego de "seguir leyendo" encuentran la sinopsis (cuenta-casi-toda-vaina) de la película que publicaron en The Village Voice.



From the director of “The Hills Have Eyes” comes “MIRRORS,” the terrifying story of a troubled ex-cop who must save his family from an unspeakable evil that is using mirrors as a gateway into their home.

Ben Carson (Kiefer Sutherland) has seen better days. It’s been nearly a year since the volatile detective was suspended from the NYPD for fatally shooting another undercover officer, an accident that not only cost him his job, but fueled the alcoholism and anger that has alienated his wife and kids and left him crashing on his sister’s couch in Queens.

Desperate to pull his life together and reconnect with his family, Carson takes a job as a night watchman at the burned-out ruins of the Mayflower department store. What once was a symbol of prosperity and grandeur now sits decaying in the darkness like a rotting ghost ship, destroyed by a massive fire that devoured numerous innocent lives.

As Carson patrols the eerie, charred remains of the store, he begins to notice something sinister about the ornate mirrors that adorn the Mayflower walls. Reflected in the gigantic shimmering glass are horrific images that stun Carson.

Beyond projecting gruesome images of the past, the mirrors appear to be manipulating reality as well. When Carson sees his own reflection being tortured, he suffers the physical effects of his fractured visions. Suddenly the troubled ex-cop finds himself battling his personal demons and the ones that have hijacked his reflection, tormenting him with convulsions, spontaneous bleeding and near suffocation.

His sympathetic but skeptical sister Angela (Amy Smart) dismisses these bizarre “nightmares” as a consequence of his stress and guilt over the accidental shooting, but Carson’s estranged wife Amy (Paula Patton), a no-nonsense NYPD medical examiner, is less forgiving. Her husband’s increasingly erratic behavior frightens her, pushing his family further away and, she fears, it’s putting their children in danger.

But a much deadlier threat looms, trapped within the mirrors and reflective surfaces that pervade their everyday life. As Carson investigates the mysterious disappearance of a Mayflower security guard and its possible connection to his ghastly visions, he realizes that a malevolent, otherworldly force is using his reflections as a gateway to terrorize him and his family.

If he has any hope of saving his wife and children from a horrifying death, Carson must somehow uncover the truth behind the mirrors and convince Amy to help him battle the greatest evil he has ever faced.
