To date, the scariest film I've seen is THE RING - it's chilling and compelling and there's something about the horror of it that stays with you for days after you've seen it. I don't tend to like watching things that are tooo scary, especially supernatural horror and when I saw the cinema trailer for THE EYE I was quite torn as it looked like a brilliant film but something that would be a nightmare for me to watch!! I'm a big Jessica Alba fan though and really wanted to see her in this role so I plucked up the courage and got it on DVD!
This film is very watchable - it's got everything: thrills, suspense, suprise, a good storyline and it IS scary. However, I can also see why hardcore horror fans would find this a bit tame. Don't let the negative reviews put you off though - I admit the film doesn't have the kind of sophistication that something like THE RING has and I did finish watching the film feeling like I wanted something a little more especially in the first half of the film which could do with having a few more spine-tingling chills & thrills. Despite this though, it is a thoroughly enjoyable film - the blind girl getting someone elses eyes (and memories) is a cool concept and the film is nicely wrapped up at the end too - a welcomed change for these Japansese horrors!
Speaking of Japanese horrors, after seeing this, I went back to watch the original and I have to say I much rather preferred the remake - it definitely made more of an impression on me as it has much better execution and Jessica Alba plays her character convincingly well. It's pretty loyal to the original but the journey is more chillingly entertaining.... Read more ›

Yet another Japanese re-make, it's time Hollywood started to think up its own ideas

By N. Burgess
Format:DVD
The main problem with this film is that it has a very 'seen it all before' feel to it. The film has plenty of genuinely scary imagery and the strange apparitions Jessica Alba's character starts seeing with her new eyes provide some very haunting scenes.
But as Alba's character becomes more aware that there's something very sinister about her eyes and decides to try and unearth some answers, the film then becomes very plodding and a little tedious. Each new revelation is accompanied by an obligatory scare but there's no shocks or surprises here, it's all very production-line, with the film makers making sure they tick all the right boxes for a horror.
The trouble now is that it's getting very difficult to tell films like The Eye, The Ring, The Grudge, etc. apart from one another. This J-Horror derived formula is becoming very tired and a bit stale and it really is time for Hollywood to show a bit of courage and bring something new to the horror genre.

This was a really poor, would definitely advise anyone to keep their money in their pocket. Cheap and nasty film.

This movie tells the story of a blind young woman, who undergoes a operation to restore her sight. Later she begins to see ghosts and various other entities which no one else is aware of - that is the plot basically. Jessica Alba admittedly tries her best but this is hopeless, lightweight entertainment. There is no "connection" between you and her character whatsoever.
One hour into the movie, I just wanted to switch off and find something more interesting to watch. It's not scary or exciting at all. The actors other than Jessica are useless, and even she is struggling with this. Maybe the original version - (which I haven't seen and don't think I'll bother) is slightly better, this is just a drab re-make which is just about worth 2.0 stars.

It's always a risk to buy a DVD that has so many reviews of varying degree but this was one of those happier purchases,yes it is all a bit predictable and the scares aren't overly terrifying but it quickly passed an hour and half of an evening for me.I do wish people would view a film for what it is and not compare the sodding thing to a book or say its a remake of something else,doesn't interest me to read such idiotic reviews!! It is a very good 3 star film,not worthy of a 4 but very entertaining all the same.

The Eye
A decent horror but not very scary, but it does have a few jumpy moments. Jessica Alba was great in this film and did a great performance.

A good little horror!
I was pleasently suprised when I saw this. I was just expecting something the same as The Ring and The Grudge, but it was suprisingly good! Good chills and jumps in places too!
