Much, much better. After the low on sugar first teaser trailer for Alexandra Aja's upcoming horror Mirrors, comes a much improved restricted red band trailer which actually is pretty successful at creating atmosphere and tension.

The remake of the 2003 Korean horror of the same name opens August 15th (October in the U.K.) Taking a break from 24, the always likeable Kiefer Sutherland plays (rather unsuprisingly) a troubled ex-cop who must save his family from an unspeakable evil that is using mirrors as a gateway into their home.

Spoilers much? The fate of one character who I presume will have a decent sized part because she is a well known actress is totally just given away in the trailer.

The house with lots of mirrors/glass reminds me of the tepid Thirteen Ghosts remake and I think Aja is certainly trying to keep the colour scheme and tone of a J-Horror. I still don't think the movie looks to add anything new to the genre but it now looks like a film where you might find yourself getting lost in, rather than one that will bore you for 2 hours.
