Did you people see the same film I saw?

A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Blistering performances.

Since it's almost Halloween, I thought I would write a review on my favorite horror movie ever. I love scary movies, but it's so hard to find any good ones. This movie isn't bloody or gory. There isn't a masked murderer running around, killing everyone. But The Eye is the most frightening movie I have ever seen. It's a psychological type of horror movie. That's what I love about it. No matter how many times I've seen it, I still get freaked out. Please, if you haven't seen this yet, watch it. You can easily find the dubbed version. (VUDU has it). Do not opt for the newer American version with Jessica Alba. It doesn't even compare.

Writing my first ever review here on IMDb, because this movie really don't let me to sit quietly, Well "The Eye" is a movie which really holds a genre of Horror, I'd never seen a movie like this before which really scared me & tend me to pause & take a break several times during its playback, It's first time i really felt scared by watching this movie alone! Specially the scene when the girl was in the art class & a ghost appear & said "Why are you sitting on my chair?" Will highly recommend this movie for horror maniacs! Congratulations to Hongkong cinema for creating such an amazing movie! It's really something which i'd always expected from hundred's of Hollywood horror movies but unfortunately most of them are purely based on some hill side cannibals, zombies, or a group of psycho mass murderer's.

I thought that The Eye was a great film and very creepy. In Hong Kong an eighteen years old blind girl called Wong Kar Mun gets a cornea transplant so that she will be able to see again. She has been blind since she was two years old. She has to have a surgery of cornea transplantation, and while recovering from the operation, she realises that she is seeing dead people. With the help of Dr. Wah, Mun tries to find who was the donor of her eyes and resolve the mystery of her visions. So she goes on a journey to find the origins of her cornea and to reveal the history of the previous owner. This was a terrifying horror film, with some parts being the most scary i have ever seen in a horror film.

I must confess to some slight disappointment with the Pang Brothers' 2002 offering, "The Eye," but only because of the great buildup that one of my film bibles, "DVD Delirium 2," has given it. "A surfeit of perturbing imagery and sound...among the best genre fare to emerge from Hong Kong in the last decade...creepy, moving and truly shocking...unforgettably disturbing," the writers in this usually dependable guide tell us. Well, I did not find the film to be "all that," but a second viewing, with lowered expectations, revealed that the picture still does have lots to offer. In it, we meet a pretty young violinist, Mun (excellently played by Lee Sin-Je), who had been blind since the age of 2. A cornea transplant not only restores her vision, but, as a bonus, allows her to see the spirits of the recently departed, as well as the shadowy conductors of the newly dead, and foresee when those people will die. Along with her therapist, Mun investigates the mystery of her donor and tries to avert a flaming catastrophe. The Pang Bros., Danny and Oxide (love that name!), have directed their film in a very flashy manner, and edited it likewise (they also coscripted), and while the picture is consistently interesting and beautiful to look at, darn it, it just isn't that scary. Only two scenes generated a chill down this viewer's spine: the one in the calligraphy class (a truly startling sequence) and the one in which Mun shares an elevator ride with the spirit of an antigravitic old man (but even in this scene, I kept wondering why Mun couldn't just hit the button for another floor and jump out). So although the film is very well done and should certainly please most viewers, those looking for some genuine scares should probably seek elsewhere...although I'd be willing to bet that this film is still waaaay superior to the Hollywood remake. At least, that's the way I, uh, see it.
