"Lead by an enjoyable pair duo of Heaton & Scott, the film is tense thrill ride that only gets crazier the longer it goes on. For better or for worse. Shortland showcases knack for horror filmmaking but it's not enough to completely ignore it's reflective faults." - Frannie Drake, CBC News
"Mirror’s Curse has all the makings of a modern gothic chiller — atmospheric direction, an eerie central object, and two likable leads in Naomi Scott and Charlie Heaton—but occasionally buckles under the weight of its own self-seriousness. For all its flickering lights and whispering shadows, the film never quite escapes the feeling that we’ve been here before — emotionally and narratively. Mirror’s Curse isn’t broken, but its reflection is a little too familiar to be truly frightening." - Lenora Chase, The Daily Prophet
“I’m not entirely sure where I fall on this film, I watched it with complete silence around and I did find some spots scary, I also thought some of the tropes were weak. Performances in some scenes were good, while others bad. I falls short for me, and I see it as an average film, right down the middle. Not good, not bad. Watch the film yourselves and come up with your own judgement." - J. Darell Ellington, Behind the Camera
Rated R for frightening images, thematic elements, and some violence
