    Typical Pang Brothers fare: inventive camerawork, thoughtful sound design, well constructed scenes, a few jolts, and a story line that mixes fantasy, flashbacks, hallucinations and dreams with some present tense reality and impossible events.

    A big pleasant surprise is anorexic ...( read more)super-model Shu Qi nails her part. She is beautiful and convincing.

    Starring: Qi Shu, Eugenia Yuan, Jesdaporn Pholdee.

    It's a film that took me a long time to really respect and like, once I had seen how amazingly scary 'The Eye' was, I was expecting something in the same tone with 'The...( read more) Eye 2', but that isn't the case.

    But I decided to watch it again and although I still have some problems with the film, I saw the film for what it is. The story follows a depressed woman who has just broken up with her boyfriend and attempts to commit suicide, but she leaves a note so that she can be revived so that she can start fresh. On the verge of death she starts to see ghosts and once she is rushed to hospital and has her stomach pumped (overdose), she realizes that she is pregnant and this starts her off seeing ghosts everywhere she turns....but why around pregnant women? It focuses a lot more on narrative rather than chills, the story is easily compelling to me as it is something that I believe in and something that thoroughly interests me. The Pang Brothers don't seem to quite grasp the concept in the first part of the film but thankfully pick up before it is too late and they focus on the emotion and the characters. In the way of what they offered in 'The Eye', the tension isn't always there, nor is it as chilling, but they do offer some amazing imagery that relates to the story and some small shocking moments. Shu Qi is certainly no Angelica Lee, but she proves herself well and provides a great performance of considerable range.

    I love the fact that the film aims for something different and goes in that direction rather then repeating itself (which is something where Hollywood sequels fail) and I'm glad it focused on the narrative and had an amazing story to back it up with intriguing ideas....but I guess I had hoped for what the Pang Brothers had done with there first film. Still a movie many will miss, but it should be seen....just don't expect something like the first film.

    Though it detatches a little from the original concept of The Eye, this sequal is just as refreshing and creepy as its predecessor. Like many Asian horror films, you never get the chance to feel truly safe as beautiful shots are lined up with a bizarre cast of eerie spooks. A v...( read more)ery interesting storyline intertwines with the scares, creating a beautiful horror film that will leave you thinking long after the credits end. Fans of ghost stories will love this.

    Crap. Has nothing to do with the original Eye, nor with eyes in general. The plot is one of the most unbelievably thin that has ever been committed to the silver screen; it's amazing that they managed to stretch it out to an hour and a half. Basically, the movie amounts to the he...( read more)roine getting chased around by ghosts for nearly an hour, finding out a dumb plot point and then falling off a building. Twice. Skip this one, especially if you liked the old Eye.

    Not that bad. But very inferior to the original. Beautiful ending.

    What the hell happened to this movie? I know mean in it, I mean to it. Did someone really think up this idea and think of making it a ?horror? movie? It seems to have wanted to be more than a classic ghost story and mix in the J/K-horror type things. Maybe it?s because they wante...( read more)d to call it The Eye 2 ? which was not needed. Or maybe it was for people to watch it.

    Aside from one of the more disturbing jumper scenes, there wasn?t much to this movie. Actually, nothing at all unless you are a Qi Shu fan and want to justify that she can act ? a little, not much.
