Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - seen it done much better before
I like the story, a lot. However this american version was pretty poor, I couldn't connect with Alba's character and she annoyed me!I much prefered the Japanese version which genuinely scared me. This was just so predictable, there was nothing in it which made it individual from the original version, it was just an American rip off.Don't bother with this, watch proper horror with the Japanese original and scare yourself that way.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Average remake of a Japanese horror classic

The Eye isn't actually that bad in terms of acting and visual beauty- the only reason why I knocked off 2 stars is because it just isn't scary. In my opinion, horror films should be -at least- a little bit scary. The original Japanese version was very chilling and creepy, but even though the remake mimics most of the original perfectly, it fails to frighten you on every level.

If you didn't already know, here's the premise: Jessica Alba has been blind for 20 years after suffering ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Enjoyable horror - just the right mix!
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'm a big Jessica Alba fan though and really wanted to see her in this role so I plucked ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Yet another Japanese re-make, it's time Hollywood started to think up its own ideas
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 ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Same old stuff
American attempts to emulate classic Japanese horrors is really starting to bore viewers like anything. As usual, the movie is spoilt with annoying gimmicks associated with Hollywood. It comes a time where Hollywood needs to generate their own ideas and not try not compete with Japan unfairly by replicating their movies to a Western audience. Japan are masters at producing scary horrors and Hollywood should head a new direction on what it can offer to viewers. The industry has a proud history of producing some ... Read More
