The Eye (DVD, 2003)

Only a few short years after its release, this film has already become a cult classic. In the same line as The Sixth Sense, it involves an average person who can see dead people. But Min's ability came as an unexpected bonus after a corneal transplant. The fact that she was blind means Min doesn't readily know what's normal to see, so she doesn't immediately recognize the fact that these strange figures around her are actually ghosts. But as the story progresses and those spirit sightings get weirder & creepier, she grows desperate to escape them.

Helped out by her friendly, handsome psychologist, Min goes searching for the eye donor in order to explain her disturbing visions which puts a bit of a detective story into the plot. The chills in The Eye are without blood & gore, but definitely spooky enough to get your skin crawling. And happily (take note, Hollywood!) this film succeeds in being frightening without million-dollar special effects or extraneous use of CGI. It's moody, subtle and chilling.. a creepy paranormal story you won't soon forget.

I am giving it 4/5 instead of 3/5 because I am a sucker for Asian horror films. This one is not a particularly good one but still creepy.

A blind girl gets a transplant and with it gets the previous owner's memories and ghostly visions. Of course the original owner was not a happy go luck girl that died peacefully in her sleep, so the visions are not happy ones. And ghosts are rarely happy - where is Casper when you need him? So the girl sets out to find all she can about the donor and that is all I'll say about that!

Another Asian movie so get ready for subtitles - c'mon, read a little, it won't kill you! Or maybe it will! That could be a movie - you read subtitles and in 7 days your eyes fall out! Then you get a transplant and you keep seeing subtitles about what happens in your life - I am a genius! Gotta copyright that sucker in the morning!

Recommended for horror fans, especially Asian horror fans who know what they are in for - ghosts, iffy acting and weird plotlines - YAY!

The elemental theme of horror, fear of the unknown plays into the biggest part of this movie. Not only is it genre breaking it's a becoming a cult classic around the world and becoming the new basis for fear for which other horror filmmakers use. It is quite the ride from beginning to end. 8 words- blind woman gets eye transplant sees dead people.Not only does she not understand all of what she is seeing, when she learns she is the only one who see the others, she freaks out insationably, trying to find the root of this living nightmare. The eye is more of an elemental horror movie with suspense not blood and guts so depending on your tastes youll love it or hate it, But If you saw the U.S. release of The Eye with Jessica Alba you will proably like the original.

I LOVED this movie, 100%. It IS the scariest movie I have ever seen, I am saying that honestly. The reason it scared me so much was because they use shadows and sound to make the movie creepy, not that "jump-out-at-you" boo stuff. They use intimidation and persuasion instead of gore. Imagine that you are at home alone and you see something out of the corner of your eye and it scares you..then imagine you blink and see it closer, then you close your eyes and when you open them it's right in your face, then the more you move back to get away, it's still RIGHT there and follows you. Imagine hearing breathing close behind you and no matter where you go it doesn't stop. That's the kind of intimidation I'm talking about, subtle but insistant...patient, but powerful.

I was lying next to my boyfriend and I was SO scared, that I kept looking around the room to see if there was something there. I was shaking and I had tears in my eyes. Every time something really creeped me out I screamed SO loud that my boyfriend got mad and me and made me move away from him because I hurt his ears. After we watched it, I never wanted to see it again because I didn't think I could handle it. I couldn't sleep well for days after that.

Now THAT'S what I call a horror movie.

the eye is 1 of the best,hold up...THE BEST SCARY MOVIE OUT THERE!why americans always remake asian films!!??? yup,cuz asian folks has tales of bac in the days stuff thats true!watch this & u will c what im talking about.
