Original Title:
Mirror Mirror
In a big house there’s an old antique mirror with a murderous past and strange possessive powers. Wearing a kind of Gothic Boy George outfit, a painfully shy Rainbow Harvest soon falls under its spell and the result is a succession of her spiteful classmates getting much more than they bargained for.
Basically a Carrie rip-off grafted onto a standard house-with-a-history horror plot, this just about overcomes a soporific central performance with a good line in cruel peer group pressure and a useful (if not very convincing) twist ending.
A ghost-train of a movie - nothing particularly unexpected, but good if you like cheap thrills
