At a farm, a boy named Willy murders a man having an affair with his mother after tying him to a bed and his 3 year old sister named Lacey witnesses this deadly event after she unties him.
20 years later Willy (Nicholas Love) and Lacey (Suzanna Love) are both still disturbed about what has happened.
Lacey sees a shrink named Dr. Warren (John Carradine) who hypnotised her. Then he asks her about what happened in that house 20 years before and suddenly he hears strange voices coming from her as she is tormented in her nightmares about the incident.
There's an old mirror that reflected the murder of the man Willy killed and the mirror becomes haunted.
Lacey spots the man's reflection and samshes the mirror freeing his soul from it as he seeks revenge on his death with the people living in the house.

 

This movie was utterly boring as it tries so hard to be scary like Amityville Horror or other hauntings but it bombs big time.
The movie is extremely tiresome and lacking too. Plus it was hardly talked about eother and I bet it did terrible at the box office.
Watch something better.

The acting is.... well... very below average but however, Nicholas Love does show some good emotions with his disturbed character.

There is a mild bloody stabbing
A pair of scissors is cut in a womans neck with blood oozing out.
A sharp object is stabbed in a bak of a teens head
Two people get bloodied

The directing by Ulli Lommel is nothing spectacular but he does well at directing Nicholas Love's scene when he picks up lustful woman and nearly chokes her to death.
Plus, the scene where
Suzanna Love is posessed by having a shattered piece of a mirror glass in her eye and all hell breaks loose is amusing too.

The music by Tim Krog seems to be extremely cheesy but effective too. Better than the plot itself.
