Fanedit details:


Mirrors is a very clichéd horror movie that kind of destroys itself right from the start and continues with inconsistencies and scenes that are meant to be scary, but are not. The original feels like a mixup of a lot of things we have seen before - hundreds of times. Yet it still had some great ideas, a good cast and good special effects, which could be used to turn it into a way more believable and much less over-the-top horror movie. The pacing has been improved and the finale will be a completely new experience, because the climax has been moved. The fanedit comes in all different coloring for a colder and clearer tone.





The changes:


- recolored the movie (blue +40%, desaturated 30%) to get rid of the yellow tinting.


- removed beginning (reason: it was a too typical horror movie beginning and actually not scary, it destroyed the tension from the very start about the mirrors)


- replaced beginning credits with my own (although interestingly done, it again spoiled the tension and the score was over dramatic)


- cut door closing (the mirrors should not be able to do that - telekinesis was never mentioned)


- cut Ben Carson (Kiefer) on fire (the CGI fire did not look too good and the scene was too much anyway)


- cut Ben\\\'s reference to the burning (now he\\\'s just talking about the weird images)


- cut Ben explaining the magic of the mirrors to Amy (his ex-wife) (it is totally unbelievable and Ben is still sane enough to know that his wife is of all persons the wrongest one to tell that)


- cut screaming without looking in a mirror scene (the mirrors can only cause an audio sound, when someone looks in them)


- cut mirror Ben shooting at Ben in the mirror room (too much effect that destroys the scene for me. The demon wants Ben to do something, it would not try killing him)


- cut Ben\\\'s \\\"dammit\\\", when he is left alone with Anne Esseker\\\'s file in the car (he actually should be happy he finally has some results. This was overacting IMO.)


- cut some of the goodbye scene of Ben and his family (dragging because too much cliché)


- cut Ben saying \\\"my family won\\\'t die tonight\\\" to Anna (because nothing is happening to Ben\\\'s family in my cut)


- removed all the mirror horror that happens to Ben\\\'s family (especially the drowning of Michael in the wooden floor was really not working well, because the rules of the mirror reality were bent too much there)


- cut over-the-top parts from first Anna fight (mainly the ones where she is doing impossible moves)


- cut over-the-top parts from second Anna fight (dragging Ben too long, spiderwalk, tongue and where she inflicts deadly damage)


- cut third Anna fight entirely (dead is dead is dead)


- removed Ben\\\'s family happy ending

Fanedit history and making:


Right ahead after watching the original I knew that this was not just a bad horror movie, but that I wanted to do something with it, create a fanedit from it to make it more consistent and scarier - and maybe even worth watching.


My first idea was to delete the first night watchman beginning and the mirror world ending and the most offensive (if not stupid) parts of the family horror finale. In the end and after 7 drafts it got a whole more and quite different to that. The first night watchman is still gone, but anything else is so different now, lots of little cuts to help either the pacing or the plot and especially to remove the head shaking moments that I endured, when I watched it and could not believe what was presented to me.


Draft 6 was almost a complete one, but then I created the special feature about the credibility of a villain and came to the result that my edit needed to be more drastic, which resulted in another 3 minutes gone. The hardest part was the Anna demon fight, because it took so long and yet was never really thrilling or scary to watch. This fight turned out to be quite short now, but very effective in its new presentation.


There is an unrated version of this movie available which contains most of all a longer \\\"rubber chin\\\" scene. The scene is in the original already quite disgusting, so I decided to not make it longer, as this did not add anything to it.


The creation of this fanedit was quite a tough one, because the image in 23.976 gave me a hard time through interlacing issues, which when deinterlaced resulted in flickers, stutters and jumps. The final version is not 100% perfect, but the best I could come up with for all the many ways I tried.
