The Eye – Mit den Augen einer Toten (2002)

The Eye – Mit den Augen einer Toten: Directed by Danny Pang, Oxide Chun Pang. With Angelica Lee, Lawrence Chou, Jinda Duangtoy, Yut Lai So. A blind girl gets a cornea transplant so that she will be able to see again. She gets more than she bargained for upon realizing she can also see ghosts.

“This is a good little Asian horror film that I would definitely recommend renting or even buying, if you like foreign films. A young blind woman receives a cornea transplant and soon finds out that she got way more than she bargained for when she starts being visited by some very unhappy dead souls. Itu0026#39;s not very original, true, but the acting is good, the lead character (played by Angelica Lee, is that her name?) is adorable, as is the little girl who plays Ying Ying; there is some serious tension and dread here, especially in the first half hour. The scene in the hospital hallway had my skin trying to crawl off my body, as well as the u0026quot;Why are you sitting in my chair?u0026quot; scene. Weu0026#39;re talking serious chills. Some of the music IS a bit cheesy and over the top, but hey, you canu0026#39;t have everything, right? The scenes where we see through Munu0026#39;s eyes in the first few minutes are very effective; we know someone is standing there, we just donu0026#39;t know who it is, and we feel her fear and uncertainty. Not the best movie ever made, but itu0026#39;s definitely worth seeing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBefore I close, I would like to respond to the attitude expressed here by some people that American films are all stupid, and that American filmgoers are all drooling idiots who have to see a throat slashed every few minutes in order to be engaged by a movie. When you make comments like that, you really show how ignorant you are when it comes to American cinema, as some of the finest movies ever made came right out of Hollywood, and no they arenu0026#39;t all slasher films or mindless teen comedies. But then Iu0026#39;m sure you folks already know that, you just want to feel intellectually superior to others. I enjoy a good foreign film, and so do many Americans, but just because theyu0026#39;re foreign doesnu0026#39;t mean theyu0026#39;re perfect. They have flaws just like any other human effort, so please get over yourselves and try to watch movies with an open mind, because youu0026#39;ll enjoy them much more that way. Thatu0026#39;s just my two cents.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch this movie, itu0026#39;s good.”
