I like the movie. A decent Wensdaynight date movie. 'The Eye' is a horror movie, but also more of a mystery movie. After a eye transplant Jessica Able is able to see the dead. A mystery of who Jessica'a eye donor is ensues. Well directed and acted. The story's mystery is the engine which drives the movies to its suspenseful ending. I was guessing at the ending. Is 'The Ring' a better movie? You bet. I still like 'The Eye' which is a good second feature on DVD night. A 6 or 7 out of 10. Not a Texas Chainsaw Masscaure style film. 'The Eye' is not a gore fest style horror movie. Take 'The Eye' for what it is! A mystery style horror movie.

More suspense than a horror movie.
Mediocre film, great for if you don't question anything.
This was one of those movies that wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. It's just not one I'll remember in a week or so or one that will make it's way to my library. I was waiting for some shocking twist, something that you didn't see coming... I'm still waiting. You knew how it was going to end from the beginning and that was such a disappointment. There were many holes in the story that bothered me to the point of where it disturbed my capability to just sit back and enjoy the story. The characters weren't very well developed though the actors themselves did a great job. And on top of all of that, they had a preview for the sequel on the rental... I've never seen that before and I have to say, I was unimpressed. After seeing the first one, I'm content with not seeing the second. Like I said, this wasn't bad but it wasn't really necessarily good either, it's just there.
Descent thriller
First am going to admit I didn't watch the original. Am not a guy that likes to watch foreign films, so I will spare you with any comparison. The movie at the beginning moves sort of slow. They do put some parts that are meant to scare the viewer, but they did seem contrived and really didn't scare me. But as the movie plot thickens, the movie starts having a real story, and it does entertain the viewer, not just a gimmick of spooky special effects, with absolutely no plot. I would give this movie a 6.5. It turns very solid towards the end.
I do agree it could be a little bit tedious at the beginning, but if you are a guy that has the patience, towards the end, it picks up well. Not the scariest movie ever though, but in the end, it did deliver. I've seen way worse, and I think some are being somewhat to harsh.
Solid move, a 6.5.
