(sorry for the terrible quality, it was the best I could find)
Reflections in general have always scared the bajeezus out of me; not to mention, you're rather vulnerable in bathrooms (naked, no alternate exits, unsuspecting, possibly in a compromising position)... I couldn't sleep (or be around mirrors) for days after watching this.
To sum up what you saw, and summarize a bit of the movie, there's a demon in the mirror (an alternate universe) that possesses reflections and makes people kill themselves. Even though most of the horror starts off in just mirrors, any reflective surface, water puddle, knife, doorknob, window, etc, will do.
Edit: Added summary

Mirrors was pretty good, I really like the concept but it fell short on its execution. It was very shocking to look at but it didn't creep me out. Shock horror is not something that gets to me that easily but I have to say that specific scene did it for me, the rest of the movie was meh.
One scene that I remember clearly was the baby scene from Eraserhead, I watched it when I was young and it creeped the rump out of me.

Holy f*ck, it's those old movies that can often give you that odd feeling of disgust and anxiety when you watch them. New horror movies can never grasp this feeling imo.
I don't think it counts, but when I was a child I went to this corn maze; the maze wasn't supposed to be scary, so I didn't register it appropriately when I reached this impasse to see a fat man dressed up in a bat suit, comprising of only a mask with floppy, crooked ears and what might've been a diaper. He was screaming. . . staring at me and screaming. I must have stood there for an hour and dazed off, because the next thing I remember was my Dad carrying me to the car on the outside of the maze; I think he was attempting to comfort me except his own voice was cracking. Apparently he found me in the middle of the maze, screaming and taking my own cloths off.

Huh... maybe it was just because I never really trusted my reflection anyways xD
