It’s Evil Mirror Image Week on Pod Sematary! In this episode, Kelsey rubs her gum on an old, dusty mirror and Chris makes out with his reflection! Thanks for the recommendations, Diane!
The Classic Film: Mirror Mirror (1990)
"A teenage girl begins receiving black magic power through an antique mirror that drips blood, not realizing the mirror is controlled by demonic forces” (IMDb.com). Yet another horror movie that doesn't know what a monkey's paw is, Mirror Mirror still manages to be quite a lot of confusing fun.
The Modern Film: Look Away (2018)
"Look Away is a psychological thriller that tells the story of Maria, an alienated high-school student whose life is turned upside down when she switches places with her sinister mirror image” (Vertical Entertainment). This film picked a metaphor that it completely undermines with its own core premise, if that's any indication of its overall quality.
