The Eye 2 (2004)
Reviewed by: PAUL MARTINEZ on 2004-12-20
Summary: Not A True Sequel...Not Truly Scary Either
The Eye part 2 has some of the Pang's elements from the original but just not enough to make this a winner.

This film goes in a different direction as we are introduced to new characters and a new tale with no connection to the previous installment. Joey, in an effort for attention, half-heartedly tries to commit suicide to upset her former lover. However after hanging up on her when she calls him, she decides to really go thru with it. She survives and her horror begins. There are some moments of suspense but not enough. Instead we are subjected some very disturbing visuals, some which made me a little uneasy at times. But there was nothing really scary at all. Except for maybe one scene at the bus stop.

Shu Qi makes this watchable. I feel she is a little underated in her abilities as an actress. Although I still don't understand after 9 months how she still acts suprised when she sees ghosts or other happenings. But I blame that more on the directors than her.

If you're a Shu Qi fan then you should be ok with it. But it really pales to the original in my eyes.
