Dark Force Entertainment, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has a new 4K Ultra HD edition of writer/director Marina Sagenti’s 1990 supernatural thriller, Mirror Mirror — starring Karen Black and Rainbow Harvest — set for release on Aug. 13.
This is a new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative.
When Susan (Karen Black), and her daughter, Megan (Rainbow Harvest) settle into their new digs in Los Angeles they soon discover that the place is possessed. Not the house itself, but they mirror that Megan finds in the corner of her room.
We know from the film’s opening that one sister murdered the other (played by Traci Lee and Michelle Gold) in a ritual sacrifice in front of the very same mirror some 40 years earlier that Megan — a “goth girl” outcast — has found in her room. What can possibly go wrong with this bit of good fortune?
Meanwhile, Enelin (played by none other than Yvonne De Carlo), the woman who was in charge of selling off the contents of the house, discovers some dusty documents that detail the power of the mirror.
Megan, however, needs no such documents as she too learns of the wish-granting powers that the mirror possesses. She gets GOTH for real and anyone who gets in her way meets a gruesome end. Let me repeat that, get in Megan’s way and you are dead.
Megan’s only friend at school, Nikki (Kristin Dattilo), also learns of the mirror’s secret (from Enelin) and tries desperately to help Megan free herself from the spell. A satisfying twist ending makes filmmaker Marina Sagenti’s Mirror Mirror a keeper!
Demon Dave and Joe’s “Savage Tracks” provide commentary.
