DVD Review
by Sean Axmaker, Special to MSN Movies

Lena Headey is a radiologist who sees her double drive by on a London street and follows her right into a nightmare of haunting reflections, shattered mirrors and doppelgangers that seem to have broken out from the other side of the looking glass. Writer/director Sean Ellis sculpts the mood with eerie images and restrained direction; his way with hushed sound and suggestive imagery recalls Japanese horror but offers his own take. It's not particularly scary, but the mystery is compelling and sense of social dislocation and uncertainty makes for a gripping tale. Other films in the series include "Autopsy" with Robert Patrick, "From Within" with Jared Harris and Adam Goldberg, the South Korean "Voices," "Perkins 14" and "Dying Breed." Available as a box set and separately.
