The Eye (2002)
Reviewed by: Chungking_Cash on 2008-11-03
Hyped as a Chinese "Sixth Sense" (1999) its understandable that American audiences might have reservations about seeing "The Eye" which offers more stylization than its Hollywood counterpart, but with far less depth (if one can even fathom that). At its core "The Eye" is fairly tiresome: the romantic subplot is as fragile as a piece of toast and the climax is commonplace to the Chinese ghost subgenre. That being said: the hair raising, eye bulging, and spine tingling moments are consistent. There within lies the recommendation.
