The Eye 2

Danny and Oxide Pang follow-up their 2002 horror movie with this non-related sequel. It's not as effective as the original, but still has a few scenes worth watching for.

Joey Cheng (Shu Qi, who you might recognize from her terrible performance from Transporter) is a young, pregnant woman who attempts suicide, and fails, only to obtain the ability to see ghosts. There's no plot though. Some of the ghosts seem cursory and are never fully explained. They're weird and visible just for the sake of it, with no explanation. There's a slight mystery involving the woman Joey sees lurking in the train station which leads to sweet ending, but it's not really enough to sustain a 95-minute running time.

It falls short of the Eye, though there are a couple of tense moments and it's not completely dissatisfying.

I generally don't go into sequels expecting much. This movie isn't really a sequel, in the traditional sense, as it has nothing at all to do with the original. But it is a very effective little thriller, with some disturbingly good special effects and a decently conceived story. Better than a lot of the fashionable J-horror films currently being imported, and a worthwhile evening's entertainment. Hsu Qi is great as the lead character, a suicidal woman who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant by a former lover. If you fell in love with her in Jackie Chan's "Gorgeous," you will probably enjoy seeing a different depth of her talents here.

I feel that this movie should not have really been called the eye 2 because it really does not have to do with anything about the eye. But also the director said in the making that he decided to call it the eye 2 because it consists some of the same ghosts. So all in all This is a Spin Off.

The story itself is a bit hard to understand for Westerners because this movies Chinese Religion and Sayings play an important role in this movie.

The drama is good but the movie Lost a lot of it's horrific impact near the end. At the beginning you'll see some interesting things going on and a twist in the middle but it doesn't last. The Drama is mostly the cause and effect for what is happening in the movie and they did a pretty good job in a way and it's a movie to watch if your girl wants to watch a horror movie.

I have mixed feelings about this movie and there are some things i did not understand therefore i need to watch it again.

This movie feels like a mix between 6th sense and Rosemary's baby. It's a very unusual story mixed in with drama

7/10 for now.

Although it explores some of the same themes (someone seeing ghosts and being 'stalked' by a specific one) it is anything but a sequel to The Eye. A woman has a near death experience and starts seeing ghosts. She seems to see one more than the others and as she discovers this one has a connection with her without her even knowing. The scares in this movie are not really there. There are no 'jump up' moments anywhere and it all becomes quite dull when our main character just keeps on screaming for every little thing she sees. Not really a must-see movie, although the concept of reincarnation as explored in this movie is an interesting one.

I am trying to find something positive I can say about this movie...Shu Qi is still cute (except when she is vomiting)...some scenes were laughable to the point of hilarity...suicide -is- a way out, apparently (which by the way, in spite of what the film's producers may think, is actually contrary to Buddhist teachings)....

Alright, I give up. How badly starved for entertainment would one have to be in order to find this film 'entertaining'? Most of the fanboy reviews here come across as being written by people who are discovering horror films for the first time. The film pilfers everything from a range of predecessors (The Sixth Sense, The Grudge, The Tenant), but reassembles them in the most convoluted fashion. This film could have been funny, but I get the feeling that script writers took their brain fart too seriously. As a jab against Buddhism, this probably would work to offend (I don't know, since I am not a Buddhist). So, one star for at least managing to accomplish something. The other star is for Shu Qi.
