Well, well ... the trailer for Alexadre Aja’s Mirrors, a remake of a Korean film, has arrived online and it’s looking much better than I expected it would.

Hey, you guys should check out the international version of the trailer. It shows a bit more gore and has a few more extra shots. It looks much better than this version which by the way does not look at all like Aja’s work.

I want to see Aja working on original material and not useless remakes (even if his THHE was much better then the lame Craven-flick)! Next is Piranha 3D. At least that should be fun.
