Another odd ball of a horror film from Mexico with a plot that can only be described as schizophrenic. Two doctors make a vow that it one of them dies before the other he will somehow contact the living doctor and tell them what it's like on the other side which of course will turn out to be a bad idea.
Sounds simple enough plot wise, but this is a Mexican horror film and it just can't stick to a straight narrative, it has to throw in a crazy woman at an insane asylum, some sort of weird body possession, a long lost daughter who does a sexy dance at a nightclub and finally a ghost who shows up from time to time.
The result of all this stuff, well it beats me, but the film is kind of fun to watch. The film has excellent black and white photography and you can hardly go wrong watching people dig up coffins in a creepy cemetery, a scared killer on the loose and enough fake fog flowing all over the sets clearly the result of an over worked fog machine.
As I indicated before The Black Pit of Dr. M like the last Mexican horror film I watched, The Witch's Mirror has moments of genuine horror and creepiness mixed in with many ridiculous situations.
The film was written by Ramón Obón, the running time is 71 minutes.
