Seventeen years after an evil mirror wreaks havoc at an orphanage and causes a nun to go blind, a rock band discovers it in a closet as they are setting up for their gig. Why are they playing a gig at an orphanage when all the orphans have been sent away to summer camp except for the two new arrivals? No idea, but shortly after finding the mirror, the band starts playing and is turned into charcoal briquettes. The new orphans are brother and sister. I can't remember the brothers name, which is ok because he was an atrocious actor and mumbled as if he were mentally challenged.
Marlee inherited the bulk of her father's estate, which is a problem for her extremely older half sister. The elder sister, with the help of a doctor, plans to have Marlee declared incompetent so she can have the money.
But Marlee loves to dance and has a cat named Piewhackit. It's name will drive you crazy since she'll say it about a hundred times over the course of the movie. Marlee's eyesight starts to go, but she must dance! When Marlee is sentenced to bed rest for two weeks after spraining her ankle, she gets overly upset and declares that she must dance! Geez kid, let it heal. It's only a sprain. It's not that important and you're not that good a dancer.
For most of the movie there is bad dancing, blind nuns who go unheeded, a pervert in the basement, a former orphan who may or may not be a ghost or in league with the mirror, the money hungry half sister, and of course the evil mirror. It all works out in the end... sort of... I guess. No, I'm lying. The ending will make you frustrated and you won't believe they resorted to that type of crap ending. You'll also wish Roddy McDowell had had something else to do the day they asked him if he'd be interested in being in the movie. Poor Roddy, he deserved better.
