Plot:
A young woman is convinced that an antique mirror has supernatural powers and is responsible for the death and misfortune that her family has suffered. Her brother after years of counseling believes it's all in her mind.

Phantoms Review:
The film takes place in two different times: the present and eleven years ago.The two plots are told in parallel through flashbacks.
Becomes of this you really have to pay attention, but this is a well acted psychological/horror film.
The film is a bit of a slow burn , but it's well made and keeps your intrest. No real major BOO! scenes , but a nice creepy atmosphere. If your a fan of gore or big FX , skip this one, this is more of a mind game.
I think my only big complaint is (possible *Spoilers*) that this is yet another horror film where the "bad guys" win, and you finish the film feeling kind of depressed, (end * Spoilers*).
Outside of that , it's a decent little movie, nothing great, but watchable.
I thought it was fantastic. I've seen it 6 times, and it's my second favorite horror movie.
