NEW DELHI:

Actor Kiefer Sutherland says Mirrors is one of the best horror movies and is sure to make audiences “jump off their seats”.

“Mirrors has a classic horror movie appeal that holds its own among the very finest of the scary genre. Alex (director Alexandre Aja) has done something I haven’t seen in a long time by making a genuinely scary film with strong characters that you care about,” Sutherland said.

He says he had a hard time watching the film. “I was doing some looping for it and I’d turn to Alex and say ‘do you want me to hit the line like this?’ and something would happen on the screen and it would make me jump off my seat,” he explained.

The film is about an ex-cop Ben Carson and family that become the target of an evil force that uses mirrors as a gateway into their home. Sut-herland confessed he was sc-ared to look at himself in a mirror after the movie and has done away with all mirr-ors in his house. The audien-ces would associate with the film because of the use of “an everyday object like the mirror which turns into something sinister”. — HNS
