` in the tradition of carrie and heather . try ` a shameless ripoff of not only those two film and but the evil dead and the shining as well . that say and they really do not make bad horror movie like this anymore and and that a shame and cause it a gas . rainbow harvest be the winona substitute here and and although she barely do more than mumble her line ( and occasionally scream and ` youre ugly . into her haunted mirror ) and she goth way before it fashionable and so you have to respect her . ( and she quite creative about it too and accessorizing with black leather scarf and a kind of black spray paint hawaiian punch guy hat . eat your heart out and cher . ) karen black overact a bit and but she not totally without dignity and and you can not help but sympathize with her . ( unless youre a certain friend of mine and who ask and ` who be that and horse lip from m. a. s. h. the first time she come onscreen . ) there be decent support performance by kristin dattilo ( a the square chick who befriend rainbow ) and ricky paull goldin ( in his trademarked wisecrack hunk role ) and and william ` larry and darryl and darryl sanderson ( a some kind of pet undertaker and or something ) . but it sad to see the once smokin yvonne decarlo reduce to play what can only be think of a the charlotte rae part . the eighty be the heyday for hilarious and mindbogglingly dumb horror movie like this and and ` mirror and mirror be one of the last of it kind . definitely worth a look .
