Reflections

Had to wait a while to watch this, as my harddrive crashed, but managed to save just about everything on a new drive. Its now a very watchable movie, I honestly never thought that I would ever watch it again. Well done Boon, and love that new colour, looks much better easier on the eyes. 10/10 for audio and seemless video. Great Job.

Boon’s hand is delicately unseen (again) in his most recent edit “Reflections” a fanedit of 2008′s “Mirrors”.

I thought the original film was a cliched stinker and there isn’t alot of improvement here but thats no fault of the editor. Boon has managed to greatly increase the mystery of what is going on through the removal of many scenes that gave away too much, were unnecessary or were just plain stupid. Trouble is, its hard to care when the Wife is a bitch and the villain is lame… :)

We now have a better version of the film which is more interesting and more suspenseful than the original, but its still not really a “good” movie. Reflections is average horror at best – except for the ending, I really liked the ending.

On the technical side its another great looking fanedit with top notch audio and a nice DVD menu w/ deleted scenes and a fun featurette dissecting the films villain.

******************

Audio/Video – 10/10 looks and sounds great, color correction was a nice touch.

Editing – 10/10 the editor is invisible.

Entertainment – 6/10 while better than the original (which I would rank a 3/10), this is still a weak film and no amount of editing skill will change that. Boon has done some nice turd polishing here and his skill and efforts are to be commended.

8.6 (rounded up to a 9) /10

Tried watching it last night, scared the crap out of me, finished watching it this afternoon. I never bothered watching the original, so I can’t say if it’s better. All I can say is that this is a pretty intence and scary movie that I loved. Can’t wait to watch it with my friends, some have seen the original and warned me to stay away from it, so I’m curious what their opinion would be about this version. I can’t find a flaw in this edit. The story was making sence, the pacing was good, the technical stuff was flawless. All and all it’s the best edit I’ve seen so far. Oh, and I havn’t seen many but I have a feeling that would change. 10/10

I just finished this movie, and I havent been so ingrossed in a good old fashioned spook story in a long time. This is also my first movie Ive seen by fanedits and if the quality is as good as this I think Ill be stopping by to watch the redits more often, well done.
