3.0 out of 5 stars
Average remake of the Pang brothers classic,
By
This review is from: The Eye (DVD)
"The eye" is the umpteenth remake of a Japanese horror movie, this time the Pang brothers' classic from China of the same name. This adaptation is very faithful to the spirit of the original, in fact there's not much about it that's very different at all. The story involves a woman (Jessica Alba) who has been blind ever since the age of 5, who succesfully undergoes a cornea transplant. However something is not quite right with the procedure as she sees ghosts and deadly apparitions.
This is a fairly good movie. The pacing is good, the scenes well filmed and Alba delivers a fair performance. It's just that for those such as myself who've seen the original film one has to wonder if this remake was even necessary. It doesn't expand upon the original's story whatsoever. It's also less creepy than the original. Still, all in all it's a decent way to spend 90 minutes.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Un suspense psychologique qui a de quoi donner envie de ne pas vouloir voir...,
This review is from: The Eye (DVD)
On a au début l'impression d'être dans un petit film d'épouvante normal comme bien d'autre mais rapidement on fait la rencontre d'un autre monde et on se voie propulsé dans un univers à la Mélinda entre deux mondes avec par contre une intensité bien plus poussé et épeurant que dans la plupart des épisodes de cette série...
Ici on n'a pas affaire avec que de simple esprit qui demande réparation ou justice mais avec la mort elle même qui n'est vraiment pas accueillante et est pour le moi effrayante et nous donne froid dans le dos; elle est donc fort bien réalisé et elle nous entraine dans la peur tout au long se demandant bien ce qu'elle veut cette foutue entité... On viendra a faire le lien entre l'ancienne donneuse et ce qu'elle veut transmettre à la receveuse qui devra donc remonter la piste jusqu'à son ancienne vie et comprendre le tout... pour avoir une chance d'intervenir et de déjouer la mort une fois afin d'éviter un drame épouvantable... Après on aura bien le droit de se demander si voir est toujours un don du ciel ou bien un calvaire parfois... Pour ceux que cela intéresse, ce film est tiré d'une série qui a déjà été porté à l'écran en 2003 et comptait 3 films, le "remake" du 2e est déjà en tournage et devrait sortir quelque part au courant de l'année... je crois bien que je vais alors m'empresser de le louer !

Ground out another cheap remake,
By
This review is from: The Eye (Two-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy) (DVD)
This must be the latest movie making trend. Back in the sixty's they made a lot of cheap Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns that made money. Little did the public know that the stories were borrowed from Japan?
Now someone is trying pitifully to recreate the success of the Eastwood films with such films a "Dark Water" a remake of "Honogurai mizu no soko kara". Evidently they did not learn their lesson as now we have "The Eye" a cheep remake of the Hong Kong film "Jian Gui". When will they ever learn? Yes it is the standard formula artist gets a new set of eyes that contain the memory of the donor. Now she sees dead people and must decipher the reason. This has been done a lot better many times before. And I am sure this is not the last time. The film passes time but has no great insight. To make it scary they turn the volume up 10 times the voice level and for Blu-ray lovers they have lots of flashy things. Somehow I do not remember her getting her eardrums fixed also; so how come she can hear dead people as well? Jessica Alba is cute and plays her part well. But not well enough to stop the fast forward button from being pressed.
