A supernatural force takes over a young man's bathroom, the title says it's all about the mirror but I think it's more than just that. All we know is that the man can't have a peaceful moment in that apartment without seeing strange visions and lights flashing on and off, closing with the strange presence of...usual plot twist device that always comes in horror films.
Steve Schmidt's "The Bathroom Mirror" owes its qualities more to its perfect selection of environment, the atmosphere surrounding it and the casting of Juan Carlos Arreaga as his star (the man is easy on the eyes, I must say, just on his boxers) than to actually presenting a frightening and tense story. It goes on too quickly and by the time we get the huge shift in the narrative, it's nothing but empty. To me, horror can only fulfill my enjoyment if the drama behind it is/was good. So, I had to use my imagination in order to liking it more than I did. Because we wonder. What goes on in this man's life that his only worries are the weird things happening in his home? He doesn't speak to anyone, doesn't answer the phone, or in the words of a great poetry "If you're so very good-looking why do you sleep alone tonight?". Instead, he watches "Nosferatu" on TV and then the worst comes. Well I wonder...
From the series it should go on with a longer length. Involving drama (but you have to imagine a little), but unmoved with its thrills. Still a thumbs up for me. 6/10
