Has anyone else seen "The Eye"?
Thai/Chinese horror movie about a woman who, due to a cornea transplant, is able to see dead people / premonitions of death.

Dang, that's a great flick! I actually kinda screamed a couple of times. I covered my eyes a few times, too.

:scared:

1. Yes--I've plugged it several times on this board
It's the best horror movie I've seen in a long time. The twist is that the main character has been blind all her life, so she has no idea what the world looks like to most people.

An added element is that belief in ghosts is still strong in Chinese folklore, so people don't think she's crazy.

6. Hehe, yep, own it and the Eye II
Big fans of Asian horror. Just watched the Twins Effect last weekend. Its a Vampire (blade style) movie with Jackie Chan in it.

Here are some must see Asian Horror flicks

Ju-On (there are 5 movies in this series)
Audition
Ringu

Ooh, there are others but I will have to look through my library.

8. Someone on another board just told me about The Eye II
I'm gonna have to look for that one... was it directed by the Pang brothers as well? (At least I think that was their name.)

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

I haven't seen Ju-On... just saw the Grudge a week or so ago and want to wait till I forget the details. I've been wanting to see The Audition for a whie now.

Although I thought the American version was a little better. But it was still good.
