This is also know as The Eye.it about A blind girl gets a cornea transplant so that she would be able to see again. However, she got more than what she bargained for when she realised she can even see ghosts.This movie was really creepy, the ghost in this movie are not scary as they don't want to scare, they want to creepy you out with the creepy atmosphere.The elevator scene was my favourite scene of the whole movie has it's makes hair on the back of next stand up, Great scene.The ending was was great but not outstanding as the rest of the movie. Acting this movie was fantastic8/10

Wong Kar Mun went blind at the age of two, 18 years later she undergoes a cornea transplant that appears to be a success. Unfortunately that success comes with a terrifying side-effect; the ability to see unhappy ghosts…….Gin Gwai (The Eye) is directed by the Pang brothers Oxide and Danny and stars Angelica Lee (Mun) and Lawrence Chou (Dr.Wah) as the two main principals.No matter what source of reference you use for film reviews, one thing that can be guaranteed as regards Gin Gwai is how divided people are on it. One of the few things that most tend to agree on tho is that it's visual flourishes are nothing short of fantastic. And they are. Blended with the editing, music, sound, camera-work and the effects, it therefore fuels the fire of those calling it style over substance. It's also fair to drop onside with those folk decrying its over familiarity with its central themes. If you have seen Irvin Kershner' The Eyes Of Laura Mars, Michael Apted's Blink and M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense, well you wont be watching anything new thematically here. But the Pang brothers have crafted a thoroughly engrossing, menacing and nerve gnawer of a film, one that delivers chills and scares for the discerning horror sub-genre fan.Here's the crux of the matter with Gin Gwai, it is the opposite side of the Asian horror coin to the likes of the blood letting Audition. This is pure and simply for those not in need of murder death kill to fulfil their horror needs. I was creeped out immensely by this film because the ghost and supernatural side of horror is what really works for me, as long as it is done effectively. To which Gin Gwai most assuredly is. The various scenes shift from ethereal unease to hold your breath terror, from classrooms to lifts, to hospital wards, the brothers Pang, with beautiful technical expertise, held me over a precipice of dread. Even the opening credits are inventive and have the ability to send a cautionary shiver down ones spine. There's a barely formed, and pointless, romantic angle that marks it down a point, but as the blistering (literally) last quarter assaults the senses, so as the time for reflection arrives, Gin Gwai ends up being one of the this decades best horror pictures. To me at least. 9/10

Of all bodily organs exploited by filmmakers, it's the eyes that come in for most punishment. It's easy to see why: not only are they wonderfully expressive, they're also vulnerable as hell, as Luis Bunuel ably demonstrated in an infamous sequence from Un Chien Andalou. Here, the Pang brothers, Danny and Oxide (Bangkok Dangerous), take the idea of an organ transplant patient who takes on the donor's characteristics and stoke the fear-factor up through a judicious mix of sight, sound, and horrendously creepy atmospherics.Lee Sin-Jie plays Mun, blind since the age of two, but now the happy owner of a pair of used corneas; until the ghastly visions of mortality come slithering into view. These include strange, black-clad figures leading the recent dead into the afterlife, levitating spirits (during a scene that may prevent you stepping into empty elevators ever again), and the disturbing fact that the face gazing back in the mirror isn't hers, but that of the donor - who, wouldn't you know it, was a tortured young woman with clairvoyant powers that drove her to suicide.Sporting much less a plot than a series of relentless, sensory-battering set pieces, each creepier than the last, The Eye's general effect - courtesy of Simon So's art direction and Oxide Pang's soundtrack - is akin to being strapped into an unstoppable, unsettling ghost train ride.Remade with Jessica Alba: "I see no audiences."

I must confess to some slight disappointment with the Pang Brothers' 2002 offering, "The Eye," but only because of the great buildup that one of my film bibles, "DVD Delirium 2," has given it. "A surfeit of perturbing imagery and sound...among the best genre fare to emerge from Hong Kong in the last decade...creepy, moving and truly shocking...unforgettably disturbing," the writers in this usually dependable guide tell us. Well, I did not find the film to be "all that," but a second viewing, with lowered expectations, revealed that the picture still does have lots to offer. In it, we meet a pretty young violinist, Mun (excellently played by Lee Sin-Je), who had been blind since the age of 2. A cornea transplant not only restores her vision, but, as a bonus, allows her to see the spirits of the recently departed, as well as the shadowy conductors of the newly dead, and foresee when those people will die. Along with her therapist, Mun investigates the mystery of her donor and tries to avert a flaming catastrophe. The Pang Bros., Danny and Oxide (love that name!), have directed their film in a very flashy manner, and edited it likewise (they also coscripted), and while the picture is consistently interesting and beautiful to look at, darn it, it just isn't that scary. Only two scenes generated a chill down this viewer's spine: the one in the calligraphy class (a truly startling sequence) and the one in which Mun shares an elevator ride with the spirit of an antigravitic old man (but even in this scene, I kept wondering why Mun couldn't just hit the button for another floor and jump out). So although the film is very well done and should certainly please most viewers, those looking for some genuine scares should probably seek elsewhere...although I'd be willing to bet that this film is still waaaay superior to the Hollywood remake. At least, that's the way I, uh, see it.
