    The creepiest horror film in years and, for me, the best Asian horror film so far. The 'Get out of my chair' scene is one of the most terrifying I've ever seen! Do not watch alone!!

    This version is scarier and much more interesting to watch.

    A young woman blinded as a little girl has an operation to restore her sight only to be haunted by ghostly apparitions and images of a black clad stranger. The Sixth Sense gets the J- horror treatment in this inventive Korean chiller. The premise is an interesting one and there ...( read more)are some very creative and effective visuals from the Pang brothers, although they are on occasion guilty of over egging it a little. The biggest problem with it is its schizophrenic nature; the first half has some genuinely chilling moments, particularly when she first regains her sight but half way through it changes tack and decides to be a supernatural thriller, and this part does not work half as well. Still, some of the imagery is brilliantly done and there are a couple of excellent scenes but it does not quite live up to its initial promise and suffers in comparison to its obvious cinematic inspiration by M. Night Shyamalan. Worth a look if you're into this kind of thing though.

    Beautiful. Emotionally charged, eerie, and "boo scary" in all the right places. A goregous example of horror film.

    well crafted but with some poor acting it comes across as a bit uninteresting. there's some really good scenes such as the traffic jam at the end and the minute or two in the lift. it does just about manage to keep moving along and keep you unsettled even with it being nowhere ne...( read more)ar a solid film

    There are enough terrifying images in The Eye to resonate with you until you're home alone.

    This Guy Over Here picks this as one of the Best Films of the 2000s

    Dull, a little. Some good scenes, though.

    Creepy, but better than the average horror stuff coming out these days without rest in the theaters.

    67/100
