Once again the Pang brothers explore the troubled and complicated relationship between the spirit world and the living. Joey, a young beautiful woman, is pregnant and something or someone wants to make sure that she stays that way.

Don't watch this if you are pregnant or planning on getting pregnant - will freak you out LOL
This was on cable but I picked up shortly after it started, so I went to Amazon Prime to watch the beginning part of this movie that I missed. I believe in ghosts and in reincarnation. Oh my, this movie freaked me out. Thank-goodness I'm not pregnant or planning on getting pregnant, or I'll think of this movie!! This movie kept you wonder why it is happening until toward the end when it explains everything. It's the AH, THAT MAKES SENSE moment. Near the end of the movie, I didn't think the ghosts have power like that, and I believe THAT is made up for the movie. I don't get the HAPPY ending that some of the reviewers commented. I guess it is better to be family than some stranger, but still. Then the main character will live the rest of her live with a reminder. That's a sweet and freaky. I did enjoy the movie. What would I do if I was in that situation? Gosh, I hope I won't be in that situation. The lesson to learn from the main character is... don't mess with someone else's partner/spouse. The negative consequences of our actions are not going to be good.

One of my favorites!!
I first saw this film on IFC late one night when I was alone at home and OMG, I was sooooo scared!! And I actually love scary movies and don't really scare easily. Maybe it was because I was by myself, but I don't know. This thing scared the crap outta me.The film is really well made and the subtitles for me were also really good. I never use the english dub since they always seem to change what the characters are saying (not the same as what the subtitles say). But, I was able to read and understand what was going on, which is what counts.I think this one is one of the better installments to this little 'The Eye' franchise, so it's definitely worth seeing.

Scary and Creepy
Very scary and creepy at times. Starts off in English then in English sub titles. Stars my favorite Cantonese actress, Shu Qi. I watched it alone in the dark. It had me curled up into a ball and screaming NO NO NOOOO!

It was kinda beautiful too. Guess I gotta join the horde
I think this is my first 5 star rating. I finally understand the hype around ..asian (wanted to say japanese but it sounds chinese and some other comment mentioned a Cantonese actress so..yeah.Had to double back.) horror. It was kinda beautiful too. Guess I gotta join the horde.

Semi-spoiler Review
Had no idea what-so-ever what I was about to watch. Kept me interested the whole way and had a sad, yet somehow beautiful ending. I never would have imagined it to have the ending it did. I was originally going to give it a lower score because it semi promotes suicide, and I've dealt with 7 close suicides in my life so far, so I am very much against it...... but somehow I was okay with the ending because there was a lesson in it. Definitely a good watch

but still a good movie. It got a little ridiculous and way ...
It was an interesting plot. Not at all in relation to the first "The Eye", but still a good movie. It got a little ridiculous and way too far fetched towards the end, but glad I kept watching. Was worth killing time.

Well done!
It was a little slow at times, but I am glad I kept watching. Great cast, this is, and pardon the pun, "haunting" movie. If you are looking for a slasher gore flick, this ain't it. But if you are looking for something eerie, mysterious,mesmerizing and something with a deeper meaning, then you have found it.

More than the eye can see
It should be a good thing that the ones doing "Eye 2" are the Pang Brothers, who created the first. And it should be good that it technically isn't a sequel to the first "Eye" movie.But the Pang Bros don't quite catch lightning in a bottle for "Eye 2," which has some wonderful horror moments and unique twists, but has a rather predictable plot and a heroine who seems pretty emotionally unstable. It's an entertaining horror flick, but it feels like it could have been more -- and the most interesting parts of it involve Buddhist theology.After a huge farewell shopping spree, Joey Cheng (Qi Shu) overdoses on pills. Why? Because her weak, guilt-ridden married lover has finally dumped her. Fortunately she's found in time, and after a stay in the hospital, she heads back to China -- where she finds that she's also pregnant. But even creepier, she's starting to see people -- and creatures -- that aren't there.But seeing them isn't everything. The ghosts are starting to interfere in others' lives -- one of them saves her from a rapist, and she sees another trying to enter the body of a newborn baby, much to her horror. The increasingly unstable Joey doesn't know how to keep the the ghosts from attacking her baby, and she'll take drastic action to keep them from succeeding..."Eye 2" is actually more fascinating as a study of Buddhist philosophy (only touched on in the first movie) than as a horror movie. In fact, the Pang boys drop a giant hint about the ghosts' intentions early on, so expect to know what's going on long before Joey ever figures it out -- lots of karma and atonement here. This fascinating aspect almost makes up for the fact that as a horror movie, it... really isn't.Danny and Oxide Pang manage to conjure up a very creepy atmosphere at times, with traditional Korean spooks, a rape scare and a healthy dose of blood'n'gore, as well as the grey-faced dead who hang around pregnant women. Unfortunately the plot is a bit flat, without much mystery or suspense -- it's basically a series of scenes where Joey sees ghosts and acts crazily. Creepy, but rather plotless.Nor is Joey a particularly compelling character -- she seems rather unstable to start with (what with the repeated suicide attempts and adulterous affairs), although she's a bit more likable by the finale. And Qi Shu does a decent job with her, almost overacting but usually staying behind the line, even when she's screaming about ghosts under the table or freaking out when she sees mysterious creatures."The Eye 2" suffers from a slack middle section, but the beginning and ending (and some of the ghost scenes) are wonderful and quite creepy. Worth watching, though the plot is lacking.

Eye see you!
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.
