Summary:

Setting - An old, abandoned school building. The school closed after a scandal - a series of unexplained deaths and a head teacher gone mad, it was left almost 50 years with only the odd brave teenager attempting to breach the heavy gates blocking it off from the outside world. Our protagonists (2 male and 1 female) and their friends break in and find their way to an old sports hall. They play the game 'spin the bottle'.

 

One of the friends was pointed by the bottle so he is dared to go into the mystery room alone and stay there for 5 minutes, but he is too scared so they let him take the next person the bottle spins and lands on. Armed with only candles, they enter reluctantly although trying to act brave. But when they enter the room there is a strange, uncomfortable light, source unknown, so they light up the candles. Some one from behind seems like a shadow. Both of them are scared. Suddenly a hand appear , a clap on the candle and makes the candle blow out. In the darkness there is a scream, one of the friends gets stabbed repeatedly by someone, or something.

 

When the other friend lights up the candle again, his friends is missing. He quickly goes back to the old sports hall and finds everyone else. He asks them to look for the friend who has  gone missing. So they all go in that room to search, but one of the friends catches a glimpse of an old mirror, when he looks at the mirror he sees his reflection and that of a black shape and the dead body of his friend who he had heard screaming before and everyone else is gone expect him, the black shape, and the dead body.

 

The camera jumps to everyone else now searching for two missing friends after another scream. The character looking at the mirror is missing now too.

 

They broaden their search and the audience will suddenly realise there are mirror everywhere and characters continue to be picked off one by one.

 

Eventually we are left with only one protagonist. In the final scene, they glance in a mirror, having worked out that the mysterious figure they keep catching glimpses of is only seen in the reflections. The protagonist appears in the mirror world and is faced with the killer. Who he recognized his friend just meet today. But it is too late he got killed. One of them friend successfully manage escape but his hand was full of blood because he was the killer. He already swapped someone clothes.
