I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Another in the new wave of Asian horror which has been wowing foreign audiences in recent years, this follows in the same tradition as RING and DARK WATER in being a subtle, slow-paced and relatively gore-free suspense offering in which the atmosphere is emphasised over more traditional shock moments. The story of the formerly blind girl who sees dead people is nothing new – and most probably a spin on THE SIXTH SENSE – but the film's strength is in the original direction from the Pang brothers, who do more with their camera and characters than most Hollywood directors.This is a film that feels fresh and punchy, despite the slowness of the unfolding plot, and it's partly driven by a driving score that keeps the adrenaline going. The first 2/3 of the film sees Mun recovering her vision and at the same time witnessing some distinctively spooky events – a cold woman floating down the hospital corridor, a suicide boy looking for his report card. So far so good. The finale becomes a driven mystery as Mun, confused by strange visions, explores the background of her donor and finds history repeating itself as she strives to stop a terrible accident from taking place (a very similar situation to the climax of THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES).The element which makes this film stand out is the emotion. All of the characters are very well-rounded and the dialogue is very true to life – painfully so in some instances. The film deals with the topics of death and suicide in mature ways and the attitudes of the characters are extremely well acted. Angelica Lee is wonderful in the leading role, really fleshing out the character of Mun, and the various supports are also excellent in dealing with the serious tone of the film as a whole. There are some stand-out scares (apple-core face in the elevator) and weird bits (the licking ghosts) and even bits that feel like GHOST (Ying Ying being led away). The only let-down in the movie is some dodgy CGI effects work, but again that flaw is seemingly ubiquitous in today's cinematic world. The film's one grisly moment is used in a survey of burnt bodies, but the gore is used for impact and emotion rather than gross-out. Well worth checking for those bored of the usual fare.

I'll start off by saying that this original Hong Kong version of The Eye is MUCH better than the remake that stars the useless Jessica Alba, and is much creepier also.I'd actually seen the remake before seeing this original version, and while I thought it was OK, I couldn't get into it because of Alba. Having now recently watched this original version, there's no doubt which one I thought was better.Ringu was good. Ju-on was good. Dark Water was good. The Eye, however, surpasses those, and is definitely the best Asian horror film that I've seen to date. I loved everything about this film, and even the acting was really good (which is sometimes one of the things that ISN'T good about these films). The music score was excellent adding to what was already a creepy atmosphere; the story was intriguing and well written; and the cinematography was well executed, bringing us some great shots especially during the more creepier scenes.Speaking of creepy scenes, The Eye has some of the best I've seen in a horror movie for quite a while, and I think the only recent movies to match atmosphere and true tension for me was Sinister, Insidious, and As Above, So Below. The scare scenes in this film WILL freak you out. I mean just to name two alone...the hospital corridor with the older woman and elevator scenes. I defy anyone to watch those scenes and not feel at least a little uneasy.CGI is usually very minimal in Asian horrors, and it's no different in The Eye with the majority of the SFX coming in the last few scenes of the movie. There are the odd moments CGI used for the scarier scenes, but they're really used as "touch up" techniques, so it's not as if this is a CGI-fest, which is good as practical effects can actually be scarier if done right, which they are here.I honestly can't speak highly enough for this film, and if you enjoy Asian horror, like the films I mentioned earlier, then you (should) enjoy The Eye.Definitely recommended.

Just a boring boring movie with no point at all. No deep thoughts. People said this was scary? I guess there were a few slightly scary scenes. The whole thing was just slow, and ultimately pointless.I do like some Japanese horror films (this one is in Hong Kong), but this one is just lame. I can't understand these good reviews. I feel like I wasted my time on this.At least throw in some twists or a mystery, like the American remake "The Uninvited" of the Korean horror film "A Tale of Two Sisters". (Actually I liked the American version of that better, but both were good). Those weren't all that scary either but at least there was a point to it.Just slow, boring, and no fun. I can't say much more about it without giving a spoiler.

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.
