El ojo 3: infinito

I thought that The Eye 3 was quite a good horror movie Directed by the Pang brothers It starts in Thailand, Chongkwai is having a visit from his friends, Ted and his cousin May and Kofei and his girlfriend April from Hong Kong. While they are on a tour they see an accident on the road, so they go back to Chongkwai's home and tell ghost stories. Chongkwai shows them a book with ten ways on how to see spirits, then Kofei vanishes, April tries to find him, Ted and May go back to Hong Kong. But the spirits do not leave them and still follows them wherever they go. I did not think that this was as good as the first two Eye films.

I've seen "The Eye" and "The Eye 2" and enjoyed them both, so when I heard about this one I got my hopes up that I could watch another scary horror movie.

I settled down, and at the start it seemed as though that was exactly what we were going to be treated to ... but then it all went downhill. I found myself wondering whether the film was supposed to be a horror film or a comedy film. To me it was neither. There were some great scary moments in it, but then you'd get an attempt at some at comedy. Notice I said "attempt". I don't think I found any of it that funny at all, and all it did was ruin the suspense and horror aspect of the rest of the movie.

The actors didn't really seem to know what to do or act in a lot of the scenes - and that didn't help either. The only saving grace is the length of the film - it's short!

I've given it 3/10 only because some of the scary bits were quite well done, but don't take that as any sort of recommendation. My advice - give it a miss, especially if you've seen the first 2 and expect this to be anything like them.

Well, it has been a slow, but steady downward slope for "The Eye" (aka "Gin gwai") franchise, ever since after the original 2002 movie. And this third movie in the franchise titled "The Eye 10" (aka "Gin gwai 10"), but oddly released as "The Eye 3: Infinity", was just the crowning achievement of the franchise, and this is where the franchise died for me.

This third movie in the franchise, as written by Danny Pang, Oxide Chun Pang and Mark Wu turns away from being straight forward horror to adding comedy elements to it as well, thus becoming a horror comedy of sorts. But not the good kind of horror comedy, mind you.

Sitting through "The Eye 10" is a difficult ordeal, especially since this is essentially an anthology of showcasing various Asian superstitions and rituals. So there was very little of a proper storyline to be enjoyed here.

While I initially watched "The Eye 10" back in 2005 when it was released, I had to sit down again in 2021 to watch it again, as I had entirely forgotten about this movie's story. I remember having seen it, but the contents were gone from memory. And sitting down to watch this anthology was not a blast, believe you me. It was boring, tedious and downright pointless unless you are Asian and have an insight into the superstitious world of Asia and folklore.

"The Eye 10" was a massive swing and a miss, and it doesn't even measure up to any of the predecessing two movies by a long shot. Nay, "The Eye 10" is like the cousin that the other two don't ever talk about or mention.

The acting performances in "The Eye 10" were adequate. Sure, I will give the movie that much. However, you are not being treated to any familiar or famous actors or actresses here, so you are not in for 1 hour and 26 minutes of particularly great company.

Do yourself a favor and stay clear of "The Eye 10", especially if you enjoyed either or both of the previous two movies in original Asian "The Eye" franchise.

This is definitely not a movie that I will be returning to watch again. There simply was no point in wasting 1 hour and 26 minutes on this.

My rating of "The Eye 10" lands on a generous three out of ten stars, based mostly on the production value here.

We expected a horror movie, but it is more like a horror-comedy. The actors are good, special effects also good. The Eye 10 has nothing to do with The Eye 1 and 2, other than the same directors/film-makers.

Some teenagers are trying 8 methods of contacting/seeing ghosts. A few of those ways are really funny, its a long time since we have laughed as much as we did seeing this movie.

I recommend this movie as a horror/comedy, not if you are looking for a scary horror flick. Guess that those who gave this movie low scores was expecting something else. There is not much blood and gore in this movie.

Liked the ending too.

In Thailand, Chongkwai is welcoming his friends Ted and his cousin May and Kofei and his girlfriend April from Hong Kong. While in a tourist tour, they see an accident on the road, and when they return to Chongkwai's home, they decide to tell ghost stories. Chongkwai shows them a mystic book with ten ways to see spirits and they decide to follow the procedures. When Kofei vanishes, April tries to fin him, while Ted and May runs back to Hong Kong. But the spirits do not leave them and insist to play with them. Ted and May return to Thailand trying to stop seeing ghosts.

"Gin Gwai 10" is a reasonable ghost story, with many funny moments and great special effects. However, this theme is losing the impact: the original "Gin Gwai" is a very scary movie; the sequel "Gin Gwai 2" is also scary, but with a deceptive conclusion. This last sequel is weaker, but is a good entertainment. I laughed a lot with the sequence of Ted in April's building: absolutely hilarious and probable the best moment of this film. My vote is six.
