A little film with surprisingly big scares
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
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.
