i don't get it.....most of the time, people say OT or PT when talking Star Wars or I.Jones.
OT: Off Topic, PT: Michael Bay is Awesome

The last shot of this movie will be a slow dolly into a mirror as Kiefer's character walks away into the distance.

That means 'Stupid Cunt'. As for OT, that means 'Original Trilogy', and PT is 'Prequel Trilogy'. Hope that helps.
I though OT means Off Topic

Saw the ending coming a mile away. And just didn't find it scray. And I thougth Hills 2 was better then Hills 1 for some reason? They just felt too glossy and serious, but not scray.

Stop making films where kids are supposed to be scary. KIDS AREN'T SCARY!!! I could beat them up easily and I can't fight for shit...

Maybe you've all got daddy issues or saw one of the classic horrors when the use of kids to scare us wasn't totally cliché. Maybe you're desperately trying to buld an unsettling atmosphere by relying on the uncanny, or whatever.

But come on... Every horror film nowadays seems to rely on the use of children talking in a supposedly spooky voice, or singing a nursery rhyme. I think I'll turn it into a drinking game during the trailers attached to any horror film. Whenever a nursery rhyme or a kid's song is whispered, or whenever a kid speaks in a "spooky manner", you know what to do.

Anyway, I suppose this device used to be unsettling, but now it just completely removes me from the film.

I'm not saying remove kids completely but quit with these stupid devices.

PS. I still love 24, and hope it gets over its hump.

Hopefully this becomes a sleeper hit and DL Hughley gets a good 5 minutes of material. I mean honestly, if ever there was a 'Why don't they just leave" set up, this would be it. I am watching the trailer and thinking "Why the fuck would 'Honey' and I be trying to rationalize the evil death mirrors instead of trying to find a Motel 6 with a pool?!??"
This is actually a remake of a Korean horror

Called "Into the Mirror". SPOILER: If it's faithful to the original, it won't end as ingloriousjedi suggests, though the ending is just as trite, IMO.

Dunno about where you live mate, but in the UK the gangs of feral teens out looking to knife someone certainly scare me... But I know what you mean, ghostly pale faced little kids in horror films are rarely scary or disturbing.

It's the use of the little kids between four and ten that annoy me. The little guy from Ju-on wasn't so bad because he was a ghost and they used him well. It's more about the kids who aren't supposed to be harmful but they try to make them spooky. I've lost count of the amount of trailers that end with a kid's voiceover whispering a line from a nursery rhyme. Really annoys me.

I am backing ingloriousjedi for what its worth. Best use of a mirror in a horror film, it's tie. Evil Dead 2 when Ash grabs himself. And the original Omen when David Warner is beheaded. Even Al Qaeda could take notes on that one.
He's just gonna shoot the ghost in the head. Twice.

Have to agree about being sick to death of spooky kids (I'm from Glasgow too, wonder if it's something to do with the area). What annoys me the most is the massive number of horror movie children who seem to be in the know as to why these terrible things are happening, but are happy to sit and watch everyone die around them. It's been an especially popular feature since The Sixth Sense, IMO, which is the only movie to have done it with any success so far.

Anyone see Scorsese's "Mirror, Mirror" ep of Amazing Stories? That was pretty creepy.

Wasn't the greatest flick by any stretch of the imagination, but the one spooky moment in it was the one they 'mirrored' (ha ha) in this trailer: the kid turning away from the mirror and the reflection still sitting there. Virtually identical to a shot in P3.
Yeah, I was thinking of
by Leopold Scotch

the twins from the shining as one of the classic examples. Maybe Damien in the original omen. The childish spookiness was probably already a cliché when "one, two, Freddy's coming for you" showed up.
Watch the original instead.

The ending of the original was just one of the weirdest things I'd ever seen. It seemed to have very little to do with the rest of the film but it was one of the most intriguingly bizarre things I'd seen in a long time.
