As we gaze into the reflective void that is Mira Mira, we're reminded that not every horror flick can be a shining beacon of originality. The film, a hodgepodge of well-trodden tropes, left me feeling like Jack Torrance hacking through the same door, except with less enthusiasm.

The plot (if you can call it that) resembles Swiss cheese, full of holes and lacking the necessary structure to keep it from collapsing under scrutiny. Our characters? They're the usual suspects: the tortured protagonist, the sceptical friend, and the inevitable accidental selfless hero. The cast does a valiant job, akin to trying to wring blood from a stone, but alas, there's only so much you can do with tired stereotypes .

Director McAverage keeps the train on the tracks, albeit just barely. There are glimmers of potential, like a flashlight in a haunted house, but they're fleeting and don't quite illuminate the path to greatness.

In conclusion, Mira Mira isn't a must-watch, but it's neither a complete waste. If you're looking to kill time, it'll pass the hours painlessly, much like a lukewarm cup of tea on a rainy afternoon.
