Through The Looking Glass (released in France as Femme ou démon)[1] is a 1976 American adult horror film directed by Jonas Middleton and starring Catharine Burgess, Jamie Gillis and Laura Nicholson.[2][3] "Catharine Burgess" was a pseudonym for Catherine Erhardt. The film, which has avant-garde elements, concerns a bored socialite who finds herself drawn to a mirror that sexually arouses her.[4] The film has themes of incest and the traumatic effects it has on those who have experienced it.[5] It also contains scenes of violence and sexual violence, as well as presenting the sexual content in an artistic as opposed to erotic manner.
