I had to go back and watch it again. But that is definitely a mirror.

I could be wrong, but the object the girl in purple takes from the girl in pink which seems to instigate hostilities does indeed appear to be a phone. I guess it could be a candy bar or something.
No, not that, though I suspect that might be a tablet edited by the filmmaker to appear to be a mirror.

I hadn’t even noticed what they were fighting over. I was indeed talking about what the main girl is holding to show us.
In reality, it’s definitley just a green screen (or plain) frame and not a tablet. The image on it moves separately from the object itself which is actually my only complaint about the video. It made it obvious there are video effects which made it slightly less creepy.

Honestly, it was only mildly creepy to me because the they were a ghost all along shtick has been done to death.
Also, since childhood my brain engages an analytical subroutine during horror movies as a defense mechanism which is by now so automatic that I can hardly ever suspend disbelief for the horror genre even if I try.
Makes sense. I don’t know much about special effects techniques, but I figured an actual mirror would be optically a no-go for overlying the second image.

That depends on what you suspect, I suppose. It seems okay to me to suspect them of breathing, since it’s very unlikely they could talk without doing so. And it’s always best to be as alert as you can manage to be. But perhapshaps you don’t need Random Internet Person to judge what’s “okay” for you, eh? 
I hear Russian quite frequently. My boss speaks seven or eight languages fluently, but she talks to her husband in Russian, and curses recalcitrant people or machines in Russian and Yiddish. I think I’ve lost the American media conditioning that makes Russian and German accents sound vaguely sinister.
Wednesday Addams was my dream date when I was a kid her age.
