* The double dose of BodyHorror that is the bathroom scene, courtesy of witnessing Angela's reflection [[JawBreaker ripping off its own jaw]] ''[[JawBreaker with its bare hands]]'', and seeing the same thing happen to Angela herself. It doesn't help that the poor woman has no clue as to what is happening to her when her mouth involuntarily opens wider and wider and shows no signs of stopping, and she soon thrashes about in her bathtub in agony until she dies from blood loss as her jaw is torn from her face by an unseen force.

* The [[http://www.freemovieposters.net/posters/mirrors_2008_4359_poster.jpg original movie poster]] (and soundtrack cover) is [[NightmareFace extremely unsettling]]. The poster and soundtrack cover are both basically half of younger Anna's terrified face from the scene where she is being strapped in the chair by Dr Kane's staff in a dark setting, and due to half of her mouth from the shot not being shown due to the dark setting of it, it actually looks like a symbol of Angela's infamous death scene in the movie as well. Good luck sleeping after seeing that

** Related to this is the fact that, as detailed on the main page under ShownTheirWork, what Dr. Kane did was based on a real concept, albeit one taken from spiritualism rather than psychology and completely altered both in its execution and its intended use. It makes perfect (and terrifying) sense that an invention meant to help one communicate with the dead could result, when misused and abused, in the escape of a demon and all the terrible things that happened at the hospital and then at Mayflower; the question of what would have happened had Kane built and used the psychomanteum correctly is unanswered, but staring only into darkness while possessed by a demon [[EvilIsNotAToy could have had just as horrific results]]. It also underscores, for those who believe in such things, [[ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow the dangers in trying to communicate with the dead/the spirit world]].
