The Eye 2 [DVD]

I actually much preferred this over the first one. Found it to be a great movie! Much better story line and far creepier! As far as Asian horrors go I'd highly recommend this one.

Another good Japanese horror film to go with my collection.

NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST BUT ENJOYABLE. THANK YOU.

fast delivery and came in good quality condition. good movie experience

Not a patch on the first film.The story wasn't overly engaging for me, I wasn't a fan of the lead actress which didn't help. I found her very irritating at times. Some scary moments but few and far between.

Danny and Oxide Pang follow-up their 2002 horror movie with this non-related sequel. It's not as effective as the original, but still has a few scenes worth watching for.Joey Cheng (Shu Qi, who you might recognize from her terrible performance from Transporter) is a young, pregnant woman who attempts suicide, and fails, only to obtain the ability to see ghosts. There's no plot though. Some of the ghosts seem cursory and are never fully explained. They're weird and visible just for the sake of it, with no explanation. There's a slight mystery involving the woman Joey sees lurking in the train station which leads to sweet ending, but it's not really enough to sustain a 95-minute running time.It falls short of the Eye, though there are a couple of tense moments and it's not completely dissatisfying.The DVD is in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen with Dolby 5.1 sound. The only extra is a trailer.

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.
