Catherine lives a life of luxury, but nothing has truly brought her happiness since the death of her beloved father. Aloof and disinterested in her husband and daughter, she prefers to spend her evenings engaging in sensual fantasies up in the dark attic. But one stormy night, while seated in front of her large childhood mirror, her father—or a demon taking his appearance—appears in the reflection, promising her untold pleasures if she simply comes through the glass. Frightened at first, Catherine eventually gives in to temptation and begins to visit the world on the other side of the mirror—with each trip becoming increasingly sinister as the long-buried dark truths of her childhood begin to become more and more clear.

An unsettling supernatural thriller exploring intergenerational trauma, director Jonas Middleton (Just Before Dawn) and screenwriter Ron Wertheim’s (Memories Within Miss Aggie) Through the Looking Glass is a genre-defying masterpiece that ranks as one of the finest examples of hardcore filmmaking ever produced. Featuring an acclaimed early score composed by Arlon Ober (Eating Raoul) and Harry Manfredini (Friday the 13th), this unforgettable journey into the macabre is finally back to shock again and newly restored in 4K by Distribpix.

This XXX film is an important part of film history, and should be celebrated and viewed as such. Any inappropriate behavior during this screening will not be tolerated and will result in permanent banishment from Nitehawk Cinema. Forever. Thank you!
