One of the most underrated horror movies of the 2000's

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2013

The Eye was a fantastic horror movie. I am a hardcore horror movie fan and have seen not too many foreign horror movies. Angelica Lee plays a blind girl who gets a cornea transplant to see it again but realizes soon she got more than she bargained for. She sees haunting visions and ghosts. I won't say too much more. The hospital scenes are creepy and atmospheric. Lee is a strong heroine who is likable. I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie. The third and final act of movie was awesome. I found this movie to be scary and interesting. It felt original. I really liked the ending. It's a great ghost story. It's a got a great blend of psychological scares and some gore added in. There are great suspense in scenes which make the movie exciting and keep a good pace.
I know some people are not fans of subtitles but for this movie it's worth enduring it. The acting is good in this movie but I think the best aspect was the directing. There was a claustrophobic feel to it that you made you scared more than other horror films. I got this film for a good price on amazon and it was worth it. Of all the horror movies I've been watching this is one of my favorite. This is a great foreign film for fans who are just being introduced to the foreign horror. It's a spooky tale that will stick with you well after the credits. This movie sparked an interest in foreign horror movie films that I am going to be seeing Shutter, Ringu and One Missed Call. Some foreign films I can recommend are Let the Right One In, A Tale of Two Sisters and Imprint. Cheers!

What you see might be what you get

For a blind person, it would seem like a dream come true to have their sight restored. But what if it came with a price? That is the idea behind the Pang Brothers' "The Eye" ("Jian gui"), one of the most minimalistic -- and chilling -- horror movies in years.

Wong Kar Mun (Angelica Lee) has been blind since she was two, but a cornea transplant restores her sight. At first she can only see blurry figures. But then, Mun sees shadowy phantoms leading away the spirits of the dead. Even worse, she sees the ghosts of suicides lingering on, doomed to repeat their deaths until they are put to rest.

Horrified by this, she goes to her psychotherapist Dr. Wah (Lawrence Chou) for help. Stretching professional ethics, the lovestruck doctor manages to get the records of the donor, and they go to see her family in a rural village. And guided by dreams and visions, Mun learns of the tragic life of a girl, Ling, who could foresee death...

If you like serial killers, buckets of blood and screaming blondes in your horror movies, don't watch "The Eye." As a horror movie, it will be too subtle, too quiet, and too full of intelligent questions about life and death.

There are only a couple of real "horror" moments in here, where things look grotesque. Most of the time, it's psychological in nature; at one point, we hear that suicides are doomed to repeat their deaths -- it's horrifying enough to contemplate someone killing themselves, but doing it over and over? Even worse, we see this in action.

And the Pang Bros. handle this wonderfully. Many of the ghosts appear and vanish quickly, giving a shock to the audience; at other times, they explore the changes that sight brings to Mun's life. But at the same time, the Bros. add a softer side to this movie, such as Ling's reconciliation with her mother. It's a credit to the Bros. that this is touching, not syrupy.

A lot of the impact of the film can be credited to Lee and Chou. Lee especially, for showing a range of emotions, including joy, grief, hysteria and peaceful acceptance. Boyishly handsome Chou balances out Mun in a very believable, by merely being a pillar of strength and believing her seemingly crazy stories. The only flaw is that he seems to fall for her too quickly.

The DVD also comes with a very insightful featurette, which sheds a lot of light on the film's background and production. The actors talk about their characters, the directors talk about creating gas explosions and ghosts. And we hear from the people whose stories inspired the ghosts in this film, such as the guy standing in the highway.

With good acting and a really chilling script, "The Eye" is one of the rarest kinds of horror -- the kind that horrifies the mind, rather than the stomach. Mesmerizing and really spooky.

I like this movie. Its slow at the beginning but creepy esp. at the end (graphic effect seems SO REAL & excellent) it could happened in real life. However, I asks myself if this movie was film in china or Thailand ( I just read wiki, it was film in thai). I noticed their scribble language in some billboard. I also noticed the Chinese language/symbol. Its almost the same plot as Jessica alba movie except the place, culture, and the actors. I'm craving to watch foreign movie this whole week.

CHILLING AND STYLISH

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2005

There'll probably be nothing new to you in "The Eye" if you've seen "Ringu", "Tale of Two Sisters", "The Sixth Sense" and all other movies of this kind. The story itself also is not original - we've read and seen plenty of those where different transplants start to behave strange and don't obey their "owner". So if you want some revelation you won't find it here. But somehow this film attracts you. First it's how "The Eye" is done. And it's done almost perfect considering the cinematography. It's beautiful and stylish like many recent Asian horror flicks (just recall the above-mentioned "Tale of Two Sisters"). You will really be enjoying aesthetically what you see. And the second thing - "The Eye" contains some truly chilling scenes - I mean REALLY chilling. You won't regret watching it in headphones late at night :)

"The Eye" is not a masterpiece of horror, it's not in any way innovative, but if you like shivers down your spine from time to time it's a good choice. And if you are a big connoisseur of Asian cinema and horror in particular, I'd say it's a must for you.

The Eye.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 23, 2018

The Pang brothers movie from 2002 which spawned a couple of sequels and three remakes, including an American effort with Jessica Alba.
It was highly praised when it was released – part of the wave of stylish and generally novel Asian horror films that hit the cinemas at the time; I personally find it a bit run-of-the-mill with few real scares; it gets by on smart visuals and the fairly clever concept of psychological horror and precognition, mixing naturalistic and everyday scenes with disturbing visions – but it never quite lives up to it's promises – and the ending seems a bit weak.
It's not a bad film, just not a great classic – it's certainly worth watching if you haven't encountered it, and you may well find more in it to like than I did.
The Collector's Edition DVD has no extras aside from a trailer reel and has an acceptable 16:9 screen ratio digital transfer, with English subtitles.
3 ½ stars.

“The operation will take about two hours.” [Dr Lo]

This 2002 Hong Kong-Singaporean [with English subtitles] supernatural horror [aka: Seeing Ghosts] follows 20-year-old Mun who undergoes an eye cornea transplant after being blind since the age of 2. She is warned that she has no visual reference becoming blind so young, so thinks little of the shadowy figures she glimpses in her seemingly disorientated periods. But exactly what is she seeing?
From the very start this is full of atmosphere, greatly enhanced by the thumping musical score that adds to the eeriness. The plot kicks in within the first 15 minutes, as do the scares –and there are a few of those. This is not a straight up horror as is the ‘Grudge’ or ‘The Ring’ but lures you into Mun’ world of uncertainty, letting the reality of the situation gradually build. In places this has a dread melancholy to it as Mun puts it all together and begins to understand what is happening.
The single disc opens to a main menu offering play, scene selection, set-up [2.o default, 5.5, 5.1 DTS and English subtitles on/off], trailers and original trailer. Rated 15 this has no nudity, sex or swearing but the supernatural atmosphere is never far away with a number of intense scenes and features suicide.Although subtitled, they are not intrusive. Unlike the 2008 American remake, this doesn’t try explaining the background characters and is far more intense. As a 15 this has to be a highly recommended *****.

Don't dare blink as you may miss something.

Wong Kar Mun went blind at the age of two, 18 years later she undergoes a cornea transplant that appears to be a success. Unfortunately that success comes with a terrifying side-effect; the ability to see unhappy ghosts.......

Gin Gwai (The Eye) is directed by the Pang brothers Oxide and Danny and stars Angelica Lee (Mun) and Lawrence Chou (Dr.Wah) as the two main principals.

No matter what source of reference you use for film reviews, one thing that can be guaranteed as regards Gin Gwai is how divided people are on it. One of the few things that most tend to agree on tho is that it's visual flourishes are nothing short of fantastic. And they are. Blended with the editing, music, sound, camera-work and the effects, it therefore fuels the fire of those calling it style over substance. It's also fair to drop onside with those folk decrying its over familiarity with its central themes. If you have seen Irvin Kershner' The Eyes Of Laura Mars, Michael Apted's Blink and M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense, well you wont be watching anything new thematically here. But the Pang brothers have crafted a thoroughly engrossing, menacing and nerve gnawer of a film, one that delivers chills and scares for the discerning horror sub-genre fan.

Here's the crux of the matter with Gin Gwai, it is the opposite side of the Asian horror coin to the likes of the blood letting Audition. This is pure and simply for those not in need of murder death kill to fulfil their horror needs. I was creeped out immensely by this film because the ghost and supernatural side of horror is what really works for me, as long as it is done effectively. To which Gin Gwai most assuredly is. The various scenes shift from ethereal unease to hold your breath terror, from classrooms to lifts, to hospital wards, the brothers Pang, with beautiful technical expertise, held me over a precipice of dread. Even the opening credits are inventive and have the ability to send a cautionary shiver down ones spine. There's a barely formed, and pointless, romantic angle that marks it down a point, but as the blistering (literally) last quarter assaults the senses, so as the time for reflection arrives, Gin Gwai ends up being one of the this decades best horror pictures. To me at least. 9/10

This is one of the few films in the genre of Asian horror that I often want to watch again and again. It's genuinely unsettling, has a strong story and is very well made.
