Alexandre Aja was quite surprised when his new horror 'Mirrors' with Kiefer Sutherland didn't get chopped up by the MPAA. Aja, who previously directed 'The Hills Have Eyes,' said "I'm still in shock of what they let us keep. We made the movie we wanted and I won't even have enough footage for an unrated cut [on DVD]."
Rated R (not under 17 without a parent), Aja thinks the MPAA went easy on them because of the supernatural theme. But while there is no raping by mutants like his last movie, he does grinningly mention they "do have a reflection of a mother cutting the throat of her 12-year-old little girl and that hasn't been a problem [with the MPAA] either."
'Mirrors' will hit the theaters August 15 this year. For the full interview, check the link below.
