Where not only additional factors should also apply to this listing is:
When you're the boy who'd first been really scared by seeing the burned up,scary,possibly evil woman in the mirror,&that youd tried to tell your mother about it.Yet,says the typical thing to him,is that it was likely nightmare-especially when he see's the scary woman again,while he's Clearly awake.But even after seeing the burned up,scary looking woman in the mirror,you don't have to think twice about anything different in the mirrors afterwards because just being told that all they want to do is play w/him!Never mind the rule of never using knives that can seriously injure,or even kill you,as long as you do as your new friend from snother dimension happy w/you-BFFs,Right!!

The movie should have been called "selective reflections" becuase most of the scary stuff jumped out of water, and doorknobs - only when it was convienient. You would think that Esseker would have been found the first time she took a bath and looked in the water.

Keifer Sutherland in 'poor poor cop' mode = Boring
Keifer Sutherland in 'hot 24' mode = Niiice!

You don't need to be a good actress if you can wear a good tank top.

An 8-year old boy can't hide under a CHAIR.

There is only one demon in the mirror world.

If you see a burning woman in the reflection of a mirror. Don't run. Pick up the mirror, move it closer to said burning woman and watch the show.....Oh! and go to work the next day....

this guy just totally didnt get the rules of the thread

though i must say 100 things on this movie is hard because it was alright the only thing stupid was it was too selective the demons should of just killed the family one time like it did with the sister

"Should have" (or "should've") not "should of." There is no such thing as "should of."

**Just say "NO" to religion. The world no longer needs "god" or gods of any sort.**

The mom said he was six, I think. Not positive.

And another thing, of all these things we learned from this movie the only thing that matters is:

IF SOMETHING YOU CAN'T SEE MAKES ANY SORT OF NOISE OR MOVES SOMETHING OR MIRRORS MAGICKALLY HEAL THEMSELVES IN A BURNT OUT BUILDING THAT NOTHING REALLY LOOKS BURNT IN DON'T GO INVESTIGATE! LEAVE, FOOL!

29. If you know mirrors can make you hurt yourself, don't shoot your own reflection.

30. Tell someone you will pray for them when they say they're about to die.

31. When taking a bath, do not look in the mirror: before, during, or after... or even ever.

32. When deciding to cover your mirrors, put away everything that can "scrape" off paint... and possibly paint over stainless steel knives? Don't they have reflections too?

just to be sure: it's a HOLLYWOOD remake of a KOREAN film (Geoul sokeuro, 2003). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372937/

one thing to learn here tho,

You knew what to expect from a Hollywood Remake (esp HORROR), so quit watching them.

-Even mirrors demand respect
-A mirror demon has the strength of 10 men but can get crushed by a boulder
-Wet t-shirt contests now come in the form of horror movies
-When mirrors decide to go on strike, they decide to stand still and make u slit ur own throat
-When Kiefer says "Damnit!" somewhere there is a terrorist struck with fear...

-If u recieve mail from the dead...it's NEVER a good sign!
-Demons exist in 12 year old girls...so its NOT their period after all!
-Since mirrors are so self concious and feel neglegted, they have a mean streak..so when taking a bath, make SURE u clean the mirror, spray some deoderant on it, kiss it affectionately and remind it that you love it or else it will be offended and condemn you to hell!
-Jack Bauer just cant catch a break! 1st terrorists, then mirrors..whats next, shadows!?

38) Abandoned burned out building that has gone unused for 5 years still require hourly patrolling even when there is no electricity to said building.

39) Security guards don't know jack about electricity. The day guard said there was no electricity in the building but amazingly the lights came on in the flooded basement.

40) Skylights exist in basements of buildings.

41) When evil demon mirrors are out to get you don't even think about calling 911 for assistance.

42) Keifer Sutherland must be really bored with '24'. Although I actually liked the ending.

43) When mirrors talk to you...talk back. Who needs therapy?

44) Treat alcohlism, with drugs.

45) Having an interracial couple, mocha kids, a hispanic maid, and an italian security guard...covers your bases.

46) When you see scary things in burned out abandoned buildings, don't run.

47) Never lie to your boss by telling him that you routinely patrolled a condemned building which may be haunted and trying to kill you, when in reality you watched tv and ate nachos.

[–] jmanpuck 16 years ago

48) The dead can send mail.

49) The Ring was the only good remake.

50) If you look good in a wet shirt, you can get a part in a horror movie..even if you suck at acting.

51) Kids love playing with their talking reflections.

52) If you are a nun trying to avoid reflections, water, windows, and doorknobs don't affect you...but if you are a family avoiding reflections, water, windows, doorknobs all can kill you and you are screwed!

53) Demons believe in driving safely. They'll posses your rear view mirror, but if you break it they'll leave your side view mirrors alone.

54) If you are being terrorized by haunted mirrors and are desperately trying to find a solution to this nonsense, set the building on fire killing and injuring dozens of people and blame it on the mirrors. that'll show people that you're an innocent victim to all this

55) It's not always wonderful when Amy Smart gets naked

56) If you have a history of alcohol problems, anger issues and have lost your kids and really hot wife..... maybe you shouldnt go to the house painting stuff and shooting mirrors. it just doesn't look good to the judge.

57) If you cut your palm with a broken piece of mirror, it heals the very next day.

58) If you work in a burnt down mall and start seeing creepy things in there, just keep going there every day and try to figure out what's going on.

(59) If you're making a film that has extensive scenes set on busy New York City streets that are supposed to exist in Mirror Reality, rather than have your art director create signs that have the lettering reversed, and bring over cars from England with the steering wheels on the right, and part your actors' hair on the other side, just ask your editor to flop the film instead.

35. It is not uncommon for an American surburban family to have 5-6 mirrors in one room.
36. If a poltergeist attacks through the mirrors, you paint anything over that just slightly reminds you of a mirror. Including framed portraits and other art. Even if the frame is glass-less.
