Plot summary
Suspended from the New York police force and fighting to stay off alcohol, Ben Carson lives with his sister to save money while he waits for reinstatement. He takes medication to control his drinking and wants to earn back the trust of Amy, his estranged wife and a medical examiner, and to stay close to their two young children. His money comes from a job as night watchman at the Mayflower, a luxury department store that a fire gutted five years ago. The shuttered building still holds its many mirrors, and Ben notices unsettling things about them. He finds the wallet of the guard who held the post before him and a note that reads Esseker, and he starts asking what happened at the store.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Mirrors (2008)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The film was originally scripted as a straightforward remake of the 2003 South Korean horror film Into the Mirror, but once Aja was brought on board and read the script he was dissatisfied, retaining only the basic idea involving mirrors and a few scenes while crafting a new story.
- Rather than compose a new theme, Javier Navarrete used a prior existing work of classical music, "Asturias" by Isaac Albéniz, as the film's main theme.
