''Dark Mirror'', AKA ''Shut In'' (2007 film)

==Summary==


"Behind the reflection is what you fear most." Something is just not right about the house photographer Deborah and her family have just moved into. Deborah blames the place after a number of unsettling things occur. Not only does she believe their neighbors are spying on her, but everyone she photographs mysteriously dies soon after. When she finds a strange book of drawings in the house, she begins to unravel even more. The question is whether this new home is haunted, or if Deborah is simply going insane.

==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: (not rated) (perhaps equivalent to PG-13 for mild Violence and Adult Content)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Not exactly a "Lovecraftian" film in the sense of being based on any of Lovecraft's work or containing references to his creations, though some viewers may find the location and atmosphere suggestive of Lovecraft's work (an "Eldritch Location" film).

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

===Reviews===

Review Links:
* James Gracey at Watching Horror Films from Behind the Couch, ([http://watchinghorrorfilmsfrombehindthecouch.blogspot.com/2012/07/dark-mirror.html link]) - "While Dark Mirror doesn't exactly break a lot of new ground, it is still a thoroughly decent thriller with an intriguing central mystery that benefits from often strikingly beautiful and odd camera work. As it reaches its increasingly fraught climax, there are more than a few moments of atmospheric intensity, while the tragic and ambiguous ending proves hauntingly effective...."
* HorrorNews dotnet, ([http://horrornews.net/17221/film-review-dark-mirror-2007/ link]) - "...When all was said and done I still enjoyed the story, the action, the performances, the visuals, and I thought the final wrap-up was very cool in a Polanski-esque, mindf*ck sorta way...."
