A young blind woman has her sight restored but comes to see disturbing visions. She must try and find out why the visions are occurring and what they mean.The Eye isn't an out and out horror relying more on tension than blood and guts to get it's scares. It's nicely filmed and fairly engrossing throughout with a few jump scenes. Jessica Alba does a good job in the lead role displaying a nice sense of vulnerability. Although it is not a great film by any means there is more than enough here to make this an enjoyable watch. It exceeded by admittedly low expectations and is worth a viewing.

How can anyone remake a movie, and then remove what made the movie so great to begin with?! The shocking ending. They changed the ending! This remake is not only an insult to the original, but a crime against film making. You take a really good Asian suspense movie, replace all the suspense with cheap jump scares, and then chicken out with the shocking ending. The people who made this need to apologize. This was a shameless cash grab. Plus, Jessica Alba can't act to save her life.Do NOT watch this movie! You owe it to yourself to watch the original, and ONLY the original. Its not like an American audience can't read subtitles, so just do yourself a favor. Go watch the original with subtitles already.Merciful Zeus, how could they remove the shocking ending?! How can you do that?! I just don't understand it. Seriously, what is the point?! If you're going to remake a movie, why take out what made it great to begin with?!

The main goal of watching a movie is entertainment, this is one of the movies that meets it. Every time you insert a disk or open a file, what you will be watching is not necessarily going to be an Oscar winner and most times I prefer it not to be.The story line is awesome, Asian horror flick based after all. But the directing and the final twist is what makes this movie better than the original. This movie has been really under-rated and is a must watch, it has done quite well on most parts for scaring me (I watched tons of horror and I started doubting that if scaring someone through movies even possible).To be honest, after watching tons of horror flicks, this one gave me a fright after a long long time. It's saddening how horror these days have turned into torture porn, blood and gore. The reason most horror flicks don't pass the 6.0 IMDb wall is because they are unoriginal work patched and covered in lots of CG and loud screams to hide the poor effort, leading to the only "twist" by killing the protagonist.After watching this movie I did not feel like, "God, why did I watch this?" It goes into one of the movies without which my life would be incomplete and I would be missing a good experience. Concluding, a movie with some clean horror and an interesting storyline (that's all it takes to make a good horror movie).

the storyline sounds stupid, but I thought I would give it a go.A women who gets an eye transplant and then begins to see aspects of the doners life. OMG who would even allow this to be created? Perhaps if they had of put some creative action into the plot, the movie would have got away with it, but they didn't.It was really really boring. I had to fast forward through most of the first part, and halfway through I ended up turning it off.It was just too boring.Between the dramatic "gasps" of the main character and looks of horror, there was NOTHING!!
