After reading your thoughts, I'm keen to give it a rewatch.
Your reviews are excellent, Keirarts, I always enjoy reading them. |
The mirror thing is cribbed from the bloody mary urban Legend. The film makers seem to be making a broader point about urban legends in general and I suspect wanted something American audiences would get, even on a subconscious level.
