WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

jadavix The third movie in the "Mirror Mirror" series marked the point where the franchise abandoned horror for soft-core porn. The movie has very little, if any, violence, and the demon that lived in the mirror in the previous two films never shows up. Instead we're treated to Billy Drago having sex almost continuously throughout the hour-and-a-half run-time.Is there anyone out there - anyone at all - who wants to see that? With his long, angular face and pleading eyes, Drago looks like a drug addled vampire. The IMDB description calls him a "young man", but he was already grey and pot-bellied in this movie.Perhaps they meant Ruffalo, who they probably should have cast as the lead - though one appearance in this series should have been enough for him. He does get one sex scene, which is a relief because it makes a break from seeing half-naked Billy Drago with his beady eyes and barely-there face pecking away at whatever soft-core actress was in this.Drago's weird appearance makes him a more convincing demon than the ones that appeared in the first two "Mirror Mirror" flicks. But the question of why the filmmakers thought we'd want to watch him on the job is perhaps better left unanswered.The plot of this entry in the series is something to do with an artist who may or may not move into a house with the haunted mirror the whole series of movies revolves around. Looking into the mirror, or being in the same room with it, apparently triggers flashbacks or visions of Hispanic drug dealers in some completely neutered would-be action movie sequences that don't generate anything but boredom. A lady who is killed by the drug dealers comes through the mirror and has sex with Drago.This set-up is repeated at least a few times and then the movie ends.I have reservations about even calling "Mirror Mirror 3" a movie. It feels more like the directors' (there are two, perhaps because the main one didn't know how to turn the camera on) audition tape for "The Red Shoe Diaries". This is not an audition they would have passed.

merklekranz "Mirror Mirror 3 " confirms that Billy Drago should stick with the typecast psycho villains he usually plays. His whispering acting technique is totally lost in this excruciatingly boring film. Watching the paint dry on artist Drago's canvases would prove more interesting than this mess. It's something about a mirror, an old house, and a drug dealer's wife brought back from the dead. When the plot synopsis on the back of the DVD box takes up only six lines, you know things are going to be rough. Other than Billy Drago, there is nothing here of interest, except a few unexciting sex scenes with a couple of really bad actresses. Avoid at all costs. - MERK

justinwilliams371 There is nothing redeeming about this film. First one was OK. The second one was great purely for the presence of Roddy McDowell. The leading lady has a good figure but that is only interesting for the first minute or two. It is poor, poor, poor. I have seen better school plays. Although made in the mid nineties, the film quality is reminiscent of the early eighties B movies. The dialogue is as cheesy as it comes and the acting, oh dear. With regards to this film someone has definitely lost the plot. There isn't one. Really, stay clear if you can, but if you are willing to sit through it just to complete the series, then disengage your brain.

AJ Apelian Okay, I have just finished watching this movie, and it is pure, unadulterated crap. But that is beside the point. It would be great if they had more of the soft core porn feel if THERE WERE MORE THAN TWO FEMALES IN THE MOVIE. Seriously. The blonde woman rarely does get in the spirit of the pornographic nature of this film. She gets naked twice. The other girl does it quite a bit. In flashbacks. OF THE SAME DAMN SCENE. This one doesn't suffer from SWIRLY CAM OF DOOM syndrome like Raven Dance did. But still.My main problem, however, is the blood is so ridiculously watered down. The classic "blood drips down the mirror" thing that happened in the first two was ridiculous. The water...err blood...didn't even drip down realistically, nor in impressive amounts like the first two (it also hurt that no female was getting near orgasmic seeing it, just some creepy middle aged man who keeps having sex with the same girl over and over and over-acting), seriously, I'd rather watch THE KNIGHT FROM THE STAINED GLASS WINDOW IN RAVEN DANCE star in a buddy cop comedy with Air Bud than watch this film again.All I can say is why David Naughtan? Why?
