This is the best horror film i've seen. That's not to say it's better than the first 'The Eye' but as a horror film it is scarier and the jumpy moments are some of the best ever. The first film worked better as a psychological drama rather than a horror and was creepy but never terrifying. Although i wouldn't use that word to describe this film either, much of it is deeply disturbing.
Also this film can be seen without having seen the first one as it features none of the characters from the first film and the ideas about death and the afterlife are slightly different. Whereas the first one dealt with the idea that the souls of victims of a traumatic death couldn't pass on to the spirit world until their problems are resolved, this one deals with a very chilling view on reincarnation.
A good horror film should stay with you after viewing and this one certrainly does. This film will probably change my view on childbirth forever more!
Also, this film is probably even more chilling if you are female. Watch and all will be revealed.
One (of many) things i love about asian films and their makers is the emotional involvement the audience feels. The Pang brothers and their films are no exception and they are extremly talented filmmakers who have a huge ability for portraying heartful setiment and sheer terror.
Word of warning, the Pang Brothers seem to enjoy showing medical procedures in great detail and this film features a scene that will make even the most hardened stomachs turn slightly.

The 1st eye was a well judged and rather gritty affair but may not have been instantly accessable to western audiences but the eye 2 appears to have been produced with an eye out,(sorry about that), for the expanding market of 'world cinema' buyers.
A pregnant girl finds herself becoming increasingly spooked by events around her as her life spirals off into some weird shadow world where the dead are all waiting to grab the first oppurtunity to return.
As another reviewer put it this isn't really a sequel but rather a totally different story with pretty tenuous connections to the 1st.
However I have to admit I preferred this one, the story is tighter, the acting better, the story scarier and the production values are on a different planet from the 1st films.
I bought the hong kong edition & the picture is simply one of the finest transfers I have ever seen, not a hint of grain & if you have hi-def you're going to be astounded at the results. The sound is in the same league as the picture, creepy effects are subtle and clear with steering absolutely spot on.
If you have a decent home cinema then this will wring every last drop out of it, if you don't then enjoy this for its fine story & jumpy moments.

I am a fan of The Eye. I felt it brought something new to cinema and the idea that it was based on "true" ghost stories is kind of creepy. I saw this for sale in a shop and decided to rent it before buying, after all how many sequals are as good as the original film?
The story revolves around a young pregnant woman who finds herself alone and emotionally fragile after breaking up with the father of her baby. After a failed suicide attempt Joey begins to see ghosts. These initially fleeting glimpses begin to become more intense as her pregnancy progresses leading to some genuinely creepy moments.
To be honest I don't really see this film as a sequal. Although it deals with a young woman who suddenly see ghosts it doesn't have the same atmosphere to it. The Pangs have themselves said they did not want to just repeat the original film and I for one think they did the right thing. Overall the film isn't as good as The Eye, but I feel that as a stand alone movie rather than a sequal it's pretty good.

Still scary but flawed!
The sequel was good but not very well written in terms of plot,character development etc.There were still a couple of scenes that jolted me. Read more

Not as good as it should be (spoilers!!!)
Given the (in part) deserved hype of The Eye, The Eye 2 struggles not to be eclipsed by its predecessor, a movie which - in its first half at least - had more genuine creepiness... Read more

Eye see you
It should be a good thing that the ones doing "Eye 2" are the Pang Brothers, who created the first. And it should be good that it technically isn't a sequel to the first "Eye"... Read more
