Plot: Twenty years after watching in the bedroom mirror as her brother stabbed their mother's abusive boyfriend to death, Lacy returns to the scene of the crime in an attempt to rid herself of the memory. The homecoming is cut short when she is confronted with the dead man's ghost in the very same mirror, prompting her to hurl a chair at the taunting figure in the looking glass. Unbeknownst to Lacy, this spontaneous gesture has freed the angry poltergeist from his glassy tomb, sending him on a bloody rampage in his quest for revenge.

 An okay film. Could have been a lot better and scarier. Had some wicked music and some interesting deaths. I wasn't really that bored of it, but was dissapointed with some of its campy-ness. Not really recommended, but if you're out of ideas you might aswell check this out. 5/10-- (UHM)
Entertaining and watchable stuff is a cheesy idea that's actually well executed and despite a somewhat slow first third it really kicks in with some amusingly gruesome slaughter. ... Stylishly directed by Lommel and actually much better than you might expect.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
...this film is a must-see for anyone who truly wants to see the real impact "Halloween" had on our society in the early 1980s. It was tremendous. Of all the "Halloween" knock offs ever created, this is one of the most creative.-- (eSplatter.com)

This movie just was NOT scary at all, [but] we did get the token priest to come and attempt to “exorcise” the mirror, the stereotypical four horny teens on a picnic who come into contact with the mirror in, I’ll grant you, a novel way  --Elaine Lamkin (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
