After facing several horrifying sightings and accidents, the couple decides to call the demonologists.

Read these lines from Wikipedia:
“....Ben pulls himself out of the rubble and stumbles out of the building. Policemen and firemen are everywhere in the street, and a body is seen being taken in a bag by paramedics, but nobody notices Ben. He looks at the older security guard's name tag and sees it is written backwards, realizing everything is in reverse (like in a mirror). He comes upon a mirrored surface in the city and fails to see his own reflection as he reaches out to touch it. He realizes that he was actually crushed under the rubble and is now trapped in the mirror world: In the living world, his hand appears as a handprint on the glass surface.”
Sounds scary as well as interesting? Don't waste another thought in doubt for this horror movie which has a completely unique story to tell.
