Reflections (2008)

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I saw this movie a few months ago...just now getting around to posting a comment. Saw it at a festival in Los Angeles. I was there to support another film, but ended up voting for this one because I liked it so much. Its beautifully made - not the kind of film you normally get the chance to see. The best part is the ending. I was most impressed by the performances - somehow in such a short time you find yourself going through so many emotions - anticipation, empathy, fear, peace, suspicion, revulsion and even laughter - but it never feels forced. The cast is made up of familiar faces. Great actors that I hope to see more of. The performance of Jim Beaver was unexpected - very different from his usual characters - and I loved what Adrienne Wilkinson did with this complex character and challenging part. The movie wouldn't have worked it you didn't feel for Carol and root for her. I'd like to see Reflections again - I hope it gets a DVD or other kind of public release where I can find it a second time.

One of the first things that should be said about "Reflections" is the uniqueness of the concept itself. Carol looks into any reflective surface, and she sees the worst thing that surface has seen or will see. Anywhere she looks, she is assaulted by horrors. Mark Garbett has managed to find a new spin on the 'cursed by a gift' theme, and presents it in a manner that hits the viewer instantly and brings them into Carol's struggle.Beautifully executed by director Barry Caldwell, "Reflections" is haunting, touching, and thrilling, delivering a powerful film that takes the viewer into Carol's pain, while also delivering a surprise thriller. It's easy to see how easily this film will develop into a feature, even more fleshed out and powerful.It's also impossible to not love a movie that delivers an unexpected ending, which is always a rare treat.The film is carried further with a stellar cast. Adrienne Wilkinson plays Carol, reflecting the character's entire journey in her eyes. Adrienne possesses the ability to tell Carol's entire story in her eyes - everything is there without needing a single word. Every actor is worth noting for what they brought to their roles, regardless of the size of the role. The cast elevates the already amazing work of the crew."Reflections" is most certainly worth making the effort to see - several times! An exceptional film.

I saw this wonderful movie at the Staten Island film festival -- and I highly recommend it. I attended because I'm a big fan of Adrienne Wilkinson (Carol), but I was pleased to discover how good the other cast members were, as well as the wonderful script and direction. The festival listed it as a horror movie, though it seemed more like a drama with some elements of horror to me. I'm not going to comment on the plot, because it's a pleasure to watch the movie without spoilers. The story is very thought-provoking. All the actors are strong, but Adrienne's performance makes the movie. I'd give it a perfect ten if it had been a little longer, I felt that there was a lot more to this story than what we see in the movie. But other than that, it's great. If "Reflections" is showing close to you, please go and see it -- you won't regret it!

I saw Reflections a few weeks ago and loved it. It was with a series of other short films but I think this one stood out more than the others. It was kind of eerie and creepy but not in a gross way. Most of the time you just get to imagine what Carol is seeing in the mirrors as she describes it. It's very much a psychological mystery. I don't want to give too much away because you really have to see it for yourself to appreciate it, but I was really surprised at who ended up being the "bad guy". It was very cool and the end was quite chilling. The actors made a wonderful little ensemble and Adrienne was absolutely brilliant. I give it two thumbs up!
