Summary: VERY GOOD!
Review: I have the imported version of this movie. I was still somewhat new to asian horror flicks when I saw this. While it does take its theme from sixth sense, it has a style all it's own. Angelica Lee is stupendous in this film. She makes you truely care about her character in ways few in Hollywood can manage. I canmnot really add to what others have said, but I do strongly recomend this movie.

Summary: EYE'S WIDE BLIND
Review: THE EYE (Lion's Gate), is a terrific Asian thriller about a blind girl who gets an eye transplant and is able to see -- ghosts. Unfortunately, she has no idea what's real or not since she's never had sight. Artful and involving with some nice jolts.

Summary: US version vs. Hong Kong version
Review: Angelica Lee is terrific. She anchors this film and keeps your interest.
The version I have is from Hong Kong and features:
DTS 5.1 Sound
Digitally Color Remastered
Region Free
I'm wondering if there is a compelling reason to get the Lions Gate version? I almost bought it anyway just so I could have both versions. Can someone add more input on this version's specifications and/or differences from the overseas versions?

Summary: Better then the Sixth Sense!
Review: I was totally blown away by this movie. i watched it because it sounded interesting and i love horro movie.s it sounded like the sixth sense but this is far and away better then the sixth sense!
Its about a blind girl who receives a transplant and gets her sight. although when she gets her sight she begins seeing ghosts. she doesnt know this for awhile because shes never had sight and doesnt know teh difference of what is real and not real. and the ending is a shocker. this is one i would watch a few times and recommend to friends. the acting direction and score were all excellant. recommend this movie to friends. hopefully people will not ignore it just becasue it ahs subtitles!
if you get a chance watch this gem of a movie.

Summary: Superb movie!
Review: This is a very great movie and finally Hongkong make some good movies this year, Hongkong movie have been weak this past few years as those movies consist of weak story plot and lousy acting. Especially those actors/actress that just appear recently, they have the boyish face or beautiful body but they did not have the talent in acting. I've been a hongkong movie fan for a long time and it is sad for me to know that. Hongkong should went back to the roots of their movie that makes them famous instad of exploring outside the box where they did not have any experiences. I don't want to say the ending for this movie and i really suggest that you guys go and see it and make a comparison of Hollywood horror with Asian horror movies.

Summary: "EYE" See Dead People!
Review: Hollywood is slowly but surely starting to learn a very important lesson: American audiences are getting fed-up with cookie-cutter substandard mass-produced dumbed-down lowest-common-denominatorism. American Movies don't try to challenge us anymore -- they are either overblown rehashes of tired themes, endless sequels, product promotions, and purely revenue-generating vehicles. Not to say that there aren't some real gems to be found, but they are becoming rarer. But when given a choice (which, all too often, American audiences are NOT given), Hollywood faces the risk of an awakening in movie goers that desires-- or demands --to be given more credit for our (often dormant) sophistication. So it should come as no major surprise that Hollywood is turning more and more to EAST ASIA to help fill this ever-growing void. But even then, Hollywood still cannot seem to get it quite right. Gore Verbinski's (DreamWorks) remake of Nakata Hideo's ''RING'' not only changed too many story elements of the original Japanese version, but warped the entire mood of the film from a creepy supernatural psychological thriller to a 'pee-your-pants' special effects scarefest. Disney's "Mirimax" division hacked & reworked Tsui Hark's ''THE LEGEND OF ZU'' so badly that what was originally a brilliant movie was universally panned by American test audiences and never saw theatrical release -- and which may not even see "STV" ("straight-to-video") release now that the DVD of the ORIGINAL version is finally being offered to North American audiences. And this sad trend of damaging decent Asian cinema features through remaking or reworking efforts shows no sign of slowing: Not too long ago Disney acquired the remake rights to Korea's ''MY WIFE IS A GANGSTER,'' and another Korean comedy, ''THE NOVELTY-SEEKING GIRL'' (a.k.a. ''MY SASSY GIRL'') has been picked up by DreamWorks SKG. But thanks to "Art House" theatres and the international video/vcd/dvd market, we can get a jump on the rest of the mainstream American market, if not an outright "exclusive" look! One of the latest to finally be recognized here at home is Hong Kong's ''THE EYE'' (dual Cantonese title: ''GIN GUAI''; translation: ''SEEING GHOSTS''). Wong Kar Man is a woman who lost her eyesight at an early age and undergoes surgery which gives her a chance to look at the world again. The operation proves successful in restoring her sight. In fact, the operation proves TOO successful, for in addition to giving her a second opportunity to see the world around her she receives a new and unexpected ADDITIONAL ability ... SHE SEES DEAD PEOPLE! (sound familiar?) Unlike Haley Joel Osmet's character in ''THE SIXTH SENSE,'' however, Man's ghostly encounters are not always so obvious, which adds to the suspense of the film. Man's "visions" are also precognitive in nature, permitting her to not only see people who are already dead, but also those who had very recently died or who are very soon to die. Between her visions of deceased individuals and images & dreams of strange locales, Man has to endure the suspicious treatment of those she confides in. But not everyone is convinced that Man is merely experiencing hallucinations, and in a few instances finds others who can collaborate her stories. The major turning point of the film occurs when it is revealed that Man has all this time been unknowingly keeping constant company with another dead person in a very unusual way, and this revelation leads her to investigate the history of the donor eye tissue and to find out if there is some sort of a connection between the donor and the haunting visions being experienced by the recipient. ...And the film's explosive climax will be forever etched in the mind of the viewer. And so yet another Asian film which had previously escaped the wide notice of U.S. movie goers is starting to get some much deserved recognition. Unfortunately, the average American is still ignorant of much of what's going in the world of Asian motion pictures. But make no mistake about it... ''HOLLYWOOD'' is keeping close watch.

Summary: Eye-openingly stylistic
Review: Though basically an old-fashioned ghost story with a few surprises, this captivating horror film from Thailand elevates itself with sheer filmmaking style and finesse. It is one of those horror films that take the "high road" in horror filmmaking -- by showing almost no gore, no sex, and no profanity and yet still managing to create one frightful and suspenseful scene after another, each ending with a jolt or surprise or two that show considerable ingenuity and flourish. The plot is rather simple: a young woman regains her eyesight with a cornea transplant, and when she starts seeing ghostly visions, she investigates the mystery with the help of a psychologist. The primary enjoyment of watching this film comes from the way it creates "pure" horror. In an early scene, apprehension is effectively conveyed via shots that are out of focus, showing the point of view of the heroine who has not yet fully recovered her eyesight. There is a masterful scene inside an elevator, in which slow movements and gestures somehow create bone-chilling tension (and notice the how the elevator stops at the wrong floor even though the right button was pressed). Most of the horror scenes take place at nighttime or dark places. A few daytime scenes are equally effective, such as the eerie shot of a lonely black figure standing on a highway. There is also one genuinely surprising plot twist (and, no, it is nothing like THE SIXTH SENSE) and an intense finale that ends this relatively quiet film with a bang. In some ways, THE EYE also resembles the popular Japanese horror film RINGU (remade by Hollywood as THE RING), with its occasional shots of black and white, its theme involving past and present, and its use of urban and remote locales. Both films also have a repeatedly-shown "motif" shot that embodies the scariest thing in the story: in RINGU, it is the shot of a girl with dark hair, and in THE EYE, it is that of a fuzzy-looking man in a black coat, which is scary not because of its appearance, but because of what its presence means. THE EYE, however, has much less in common with the film that will inevitably enter the viewer's mind: THE SIXTH SENSE. While the latter is a very good film that mixes horror with poignancy about the pain, guilt, and sadness in the human heart, THE EYE is a purely methodical horror film -- and, in my opinion, a superb one at that.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Wow, what a movie! Creepy, emotional, at times abstract, suspensful, exciting, compelling, etc. I found myself engaged in the protagonist's world. This Thai woman in Hong Kong, has been blind since she was two, she has a succesful operation in which she slowly recovers her sight. The thing is, the eyes that she inherited belonged to a chinese woman who possesed a special gift, which has now been passed on to our heroine. This gift is that of being able to see dead people, which I realize may sound cliche, but believe me, the way in which the Pang brothers mess with the audiance with the music, lighting, camera angles, and the great acting...it just sticks with you. I see no reason to turn this into a major hollywood production, as the special effects are great, the acting/casting was perfect, the dialog, while not being exemplerary, still makes the grade. But of course, most North American audiances tend to shy away from subtitles, so they'll have the daunting task of reproducing the sheer terror and suspense that this film created.
