Saw the Korean version of this film last night. It was wonderfully spooky with the best pizza-cutter killing I've seen on film. But this post is just plain awesome:

The demons that infiltrate your dreams. My neighbour, Sam, says he often hears me scream in the middle of the night. I have no knowledge of this, that is horror my friends. That is horror. Still, I met this really nice man called Nigel yesterday when I was in the gym. We both went to the cafe after, he had a salad, which confused me, and plunged me into 'grey world' for about an hour, and I had a big breakfast. We talked about horror films and weight lifting, we both had things in common! I was constantly worried though in case I said something that worried/upset/frightenend/embarassed him, and I spoke very slowly so as to think every word through that came out of my mouth. He asked me why I spoke so weird and I laughed to cover up things, but tears came instead. Fortunately I manage to blame this uncomfortable moment with the death of my mother, which actually didn't happen as she is still alive so I felt wrapped in guilt about that as well for an hour. I would have invited him in for a chunky kit kat and a cup of tea, but I rememebered I'm going through what my doctor calls "my black periods" and I had covered the mirrors in my flat with sheets and painted the windows black. So we walked around in a circle talking before Nigel said his carer was coming for him and we had to walk back to his flat. Anyway, I digress. MIRRORS. A title so evocative, so terrifying. What was it that Kafka said? Stare too long into the abyss and you see your face. Every time I close my eyes I see my face. If I study the clouds, or patterns made by stones on the ground, or the seeds in a pomegranet, I see my face. It is there and it is everything and it is everyone. My face is all.
