This is Absolutely absolutely a genuine nightmare. Iconic ending, but unbelievably unfair to the person who did EVERYTHING right and still got screwed.
For those wondering what happened to him, I will explain. For those who have seen the movie, when he was trying to escape from the building, the inside of the building collapsed and he got crushed to death. His soul then went into the mirror world and his soul is trapped inside the mirror world. That's why no one could see him and to why he didn't see his own reflection
He was crushed to death while he was trying to escape but he didn't realised until he "got out" since who dies in the Mayflower has their souls absorbed into the mirror world. Like you see hands on the mirrors at the start of the movie when he first wanders in the building, those are the people's soul who died there in the Asylum.
This film is so underrated man. Watching it in 2023 I get the jump scares ain’t that scary but back then bruhhhhhhh especially the bath scene. I will forever love this movie for how different it is
I mean for all the awful things that happen to people in horror movies, especially with ghosts, it's not the worst fate. Everything is still there but just mirrored. You live forever in a world where you can do everything that you could while alive. It's going to be lonely but I'm sure someone will eventually find there way in the mirror world, and even if they don't it's still not that awful. It would be different if he was being tormented by the demon or something, but he's not.
@@nthabeey3267 but he is though. He gets to watch his children grow up make bad decisions or his wife moves on and there isn’t a thing he can do about it but exist
Watched the movie, it was ok. A bit messed up if you ask me. Well at least he saves everyone else from this nightmare by shattering the cursed mirrors but in the process he is dead and forever stuck in the mirror world.
literally the ending shocked me when i first saw it, i was like WHAT?!. honestly, i do not know why this movie had low ratings, its perfect. But still, a very shocking ending
Great. Now I want to go & see what it would be like in the reflection of the mirror world. But without all the scary shit. And I get to come back home.
Shirley Kitchens you won't be able to get back home as it means you are already dead and your soul is stuck inside the mirror world. Italians believe that when someone dies, you need to cover all the mirrors in the house so that the soul won't get stuck inside the mirrors
Yeah he is dead and now stuck in the mirror world but hey at least he gets to see his family still, from now on he would just have to learn how to read things backwards no biggie
Meanwhile a creepy kid walks past the window "Mommy, I see a man looking at me in the window" "That's enough crazy talk. You're seeing a shrink" *The shrink was dead the whole time*
all in all doesn't seem that bad of fate. I mean re-learning your way around your home town wound be a huge pain but the letter thing you'd probably pick up fairly fast.
Didn't the policemen not see him? He's in some kind of weird limbo where people in the mirror world can't even see him. Without that, yeah, it honestly wouldn't be that bad.
Una de las mejores películas que eh visto con ese final que te deja intrigada , pudo salvar a sus hijos pero el no y quedó atrapado y todo vuelve a repetirse una y otra vez .,
I remember watching this movie with my gf … it was good like an ok horror movie we enjoyed it … but nothing special …. Until this ending scene and I’m like what the hell is that …. And these less than 2 mins was like watching a different movie that is so satisfying ❤
He is invisible ok, but while he's crossing the street the shadow is clearly seen on the road, the shadow must be shown as invisible, there will be a clarity ending to this part of the movie

@@colemanning5342 Yeah I remember that when his brother Max discovered other people trapped in the mirror too and I like the episode version too but it would've been cool if it got a sequel to it
@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 I got a couple of notifications from my previous comments years ago so I thought let me scroll through the comment section again. Noah in Goosebumps didn't actually die. His reflection switched places with Him when he went invisible. Either way that is still messed up. Both Mirrors and Goosebumps let's get invisible made me paranoid of mirror's when growing up.
The people in that store when they spend three hours trying to clean that hand print off that can only be seen from one side of the glass for some reason
Where is a Kamen Rider when you need one? (In case you don't know they are basically like power rangers and they were able to use reflections to travel to the mirror world, and they could also kill mirror monsters.)

I see this ending as punishment for forcing Anna to sacrifice herself to save his family...while don't get me wrong I understand his motives completely it still doesn't change the fact that he forced Anna into making the choice...making so that no matter what the demon got what it wanted...to be let out of the mirror and free for all we know into the world to do as it pleased.
By the comments, I already know that I'm in disagreement with almost everyone here. But all of you had the opportunity to express your admiration for it, therefore it's only fair that I can express my disdain. This ending was absolute, nonsensical garbage. I'll explain why. Before Anna was given the "mirror treatment", there was nothing supernatural about the mirrors, and there is no reason, occording to the plot, to believe that there was anything unusual about the mirrors prior to Anna's "treatments". After several sittings in the mirror room, the demon that was possesing Anna left her and entered the mirrors. Through some, inexplicable reason, (assumingly only because demons are powerful, supernatural beings) it was able to possess ALL MIRRORS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD (or at the very least, the entirety of America.) So, I suspended my (overbearing and crushing) disbelief and allowed this for the sake of story telling and suspense. Ben, being the good detective he is, uncovers the mystery of "Esseker" and finds the surviving Anna. He then forcibly returns her to the mirror room where she is repossessed by the demon living in the mirrors. This is key. We see the demon entering her, VISIBLY SEE IT, for *several* frames, meaning the demon has *left* the mirrors, *returned* to "our world," and has lost *all* power and control over the mirrored world. The mirrors have returned to normal, everyday reflections. This is evidenced by all of the mirrors shattering in the Mayflower, further evidenced by Ben's son, Michael, arising back through the floor and into the real world. The curse has been broken; the mirrors are no longer a threat. A fight breaks out between Ben and the possessed Anna, leaving us, the viewers, to be uncertain of whether Anna survived. (She had already been impaled and exploded by this point; it seems strange that some heavy stones would do the trick after seeing that.) Unfortunately, Ben is also crushed after the explosion. He seems, at first, to come out hurt yet alive, but it's quickly revealed that he is...in the mirrored world. As previously stated, the mirrors had returned to normal. The demon living in them was what was causing the mirrors to behave in the way that they were, at least that was what we were told by the plot. There was nothing in the story to suggest that the mirrors themselves were supernatural. We know that the demon collected the souls of his victims, and those souls were trapped in the mirror with him. But the mirrors were broken; the souls the demon had trapped should have either been released or followed him into the real world. With this logic, even if Ben had been collected by the demon and became a phantom, he should not have entered a mirrored world. It opened a whole slew of gaps and plotholes in what could have been a decent horror movie. Alright, rant over. Thanks for hearing me out.
Well, Victoria, this is actually a great analysis and even though I absolutely loved the ending because of the massive rug pull it pulled on the audience, I do agree that you make very interesting points and tackle several gaps that, if used correctly, could have explained the outcome better. I still enjoy the movie but I think that your comments could be a good base for a horror story with a little more attention to detail and internal logic that delivers.
@@FreeRadical09 I'm glad you enjoyed the analysis, and I apologize for the salt sprinkled within it. I have a passion for horror movies that leaves me frequently disappointed. Perhaps I'm too critical. That said, I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. It *was* a decent film with some genuinely chilling scenes. (Amy Smart in the bathtub - oof.) I think that was why I was so disappointed by the ending. It had such potential, just to let the ball drop (in my opinion) at the very end, which is, sadly, all too typical with the horror genre.
@@victoria7601 No, I don't think you're too critical. I also believe that intelligent horror movies are scarce unfortunately, since most resort to formula or disturbing visuals for the sake of shock, which is why I rarely watch modern horror movies. Mirrors, at least to me, seemed to be a departure from that and why I loved it so much overall. You pointed out some very valid flaws in the internal logic, which would have made for a deeper movie but maybe if they had thought things through so much, perhaps they would have missed the window to make the film at all. Do you happen to be a writer by any chance? Or just a very keen observer?
@@FreeRadical09 I agree wholeheartedly. It's a bit of a double-edged sword, loving horros movies in the way that I do. I have high standards for a genre that is notorious for producing cheap, money grabs. That's why the classics are the best. John Carpenter's The Thing is a personal favorite, a near perfect execution of horror in every way. You make a valid point that had the plot been deeper it could have been passed up entirely. There is a certain demand in modern horror to come up with some mind boggling twist for the ending, but it more often than not falls flat. Sometimes letting something rest comfortably is better than trying to squeeze something that's gone entirely dry. But comfortable endings don't necessarily sell, and that's the real soul-draining aspect of the industry. Art doesn't need to sell. It simply is what it is. Van Gough is an excellent example of that, actually. I'm rambling now. I dabble in writing and enjoy it, but I don't do it professionally, even though I'd love to someday, hah. Are you a writer? It's refreshing to see someone in the youtube comments section who actually knows how to string together a sentence.
His body got crashed under the rumbling and his soul got trapped in the mirror world, he is definitely dead so no sequel.... it is sad though, he understood the task, did everything that needed to be done, and still couldn't make it. Great ending for a wonderful movie.

We know that the demon collected the souls of his victims, and those souls were trapped in the mirror with him. But the mirrors were broken; the souls the demon had trapped should have either been released or followed him into the real world. With this logic, even if Ben had been collected by the demon and became a phantom, he should not have entered a mirrored world. It opened a whole slew of gaps and plotholes in what could have been a decent horror movie.
Alright, rant over. Thanks for hearing me out.
I totally agree
Well, Victoria, this is actually a great analysis and even though I absolutely loved the ending because of the massive rug pull it pulled on the audience, I do agree that you make very interesting points and tackle several gaps that, if used correctly, could have explained the outcome better. I still enjoy the movie but I think that your comments could be a good base for a horror story with a little more attention to detail and internal logic that delivers.
@@FreeRadical09 I'm glad you enjoyed the analysis, and I apologize for the salt sprinkled within it. I have a passion for horror movies that leaves me frequently disappointed. Perhaps I'm too critical.
That said, I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. It *was* a decent film with some genuinely chilling scenes. (Amy Smart in the bathtub - oof.) I think that was why I was so disappointed by the ending. It had such potential, just to let the ball drop (in my opinion) at the very end, which is, sadly, all too typical with the horror genre.
@@victoria7601 No, I don't think you're too critical. I also believe that intelligent horror movies are scarce unfortunately, since most resort to formula or disturbing visuals for the sake of shock, which is why I rarely watch modern horror movies.
Mirrors, at least to me, seemed to be a departure from that and why I loved it so much overall.
You pointed out some very valid flaws in the internal logic, which would have made for a deeper movie but maybe if they had thought things through so much, perhaps they would have missed the window to make the film at all.
Do you happen to be a writer by any chance? Or just a very keen observer?
@@FreeRadical09 I agree wholeheartedly. It's a bit of a double-edged sword, loving horros movies in the way that I do. I have high standards for a genre that is notorious for producing cheap, money grabs. That's why the classics are the best. John Carpenter's The Thing is a personal favorite, a near perfect execution of horror in every way.
You make a valid point that had the plot been deeper it could have been passed up entirely. There is a certain demand in modern horror to come up with some mind boggling twist for the ending, but it more often than not falls flat. Sometimes letting something rest comfortably is better than trying to squeeze something that's gone entirely dry. But comfortable endings don't necessarily sell, and that's the real soul-draining aspect of the industry. Art doesn't need to sell. It simply is what it is. Van Gough is an excellent example of that, actually. I'm rambling now.
I dabble in writing and enjoy it, but I don't do it professionally, even though I'd love to someday, hah. Are you a writer? It's refreshing to see someone in the youtube comments section who actually knows how to string together a sentence.
Ending like this suggest there should be a sequel
His body got crashed under the rumbling and his soul got trapped in the mirror world, he is definitely dead so no sequel.... it is sad though, he understood the task, did everything that needed to be done, and still couldn't make it. Great ending for a wonderful movie.
So.... He's in the mirror dimension?? Call doctor strange..
Es la misma musica de middle night
Then next when mirror 2 will release ?!??
It been out lol
@@bayfinest1938 why?!
Хуль тут все на енглише, русские могут пояснить за зеркала? Фильм раз 20 смотрел, концовку понял, но что то не покидает ощущение что я что то упустил.
Please speak English)
Здесь говорят по-английски. Я использую переводчик Google. Извините. Надеюсь, в этом есть смысл. Я не думаю, что концовка была сделана хорошо. Зеркала должны были вернуться в нормальное состояние после того, как демон покинул их. Не было никаких причин, по которым Бен пошел бы в зеркало. Я думаю, что это было плохое повествование.
РедактироватьЯ: хотел сказать, что говорю по-английски. Приношу извинения за плохой перевод.
