A fiatal Mun egész eddigi életét vakon élte le, ezért mikor egy sikeres retina átültetést követően visszanyeri látását, úgy érzi, újjászületett. Örömét azonban beárnyékolja, hogy látomások kezdik gyötörni: szeme előtt halott emberek jelennek meg. Mikor Mun úgy érzi, hogy a visszakapott látás inkább átokként nehezedik rá, a fiatal pszichológushoz, Dr. Wou-hoz fordul segítségért. Hamarosan ráébrednek, hogy az ijesztő jelenségek mögött a donor áll, akitől Mun a retináját kapta... (Budapest Film)

Nagyszerű téma, két rendező által forgatva... és az eredmény egyrészt egy lebilincselő dráma, erős, de kevésbé kidolgozott gondolattal, másrészt pedig egy izgalmas, borzongató thriller, amely a legizgalmasabb jeleneteiben a Hatodik érzék című filmhez hasonlít. Ha inkább a főszereplő élettörténetére koncentrált volna, mint a kísértetjárásra, akkor ez nagy ütés lehetett volna a léleknek. Bár, mint rövidke sokkterápia, szintén nagyon jól működik.

I have a problem with Japanese horror movies and their remakes. To put it simply, they don’t scare me, whether it is The Ring or, in this case, The Eye. And yet, can’t say they are badly made, quite the contrary, but emotionally, they just can't stir me up properly. The Eye has a novel, interesting story, but it has one pretty big flaw: two set-up endings, the second of which, while effective, is very awkward in its own way, and it would have been better if it hadn’t been there at all. Overall, based on the responses, I expected it to be much better. Which brings me back to the beginning of my review...

A ghost in a hospital, a ghost in a room, a ghost in the streets, a ghost in a corridor, a ghost on a lift, and so on, and so on – that’s the entire first half of the film. And then the heroine sets out on a journey in search of the truth.

The whole film was heading for a three thanks to some of the acting and definitely the need to rise above the different mentality of the film and some of the screenwriting lapses. However, the camera work in this film is so evocative that one is on tenterhooks for some scenes, waiting to see where it’s going to come from. The scene in the elevator, for example, is fantastically horrific, and it gets by without jump scares. The ending is like something out of another movie and *SPOILER ALERT* quite reminded me of The Mothman Prophecies from the same year. However, I think that the burning bodies of people, children, and animals accompanied by a romantic piano melody make the fourth star. And the last shot is really nice.

The Hong Kong-Singaporean rendition of The Eye is a more terrifying film than its remake. There are moments here that are genuinely frightening, not just because there might be a jump scare, but mainly due to how well some scenes are constructed. This ultimately leads to the overall impression of this film being more unsettling, which I definitely consider a sign of quality within the context. This is a horror film that works years later, and that’s despite me having seen the remake.
