THE EYE
                   4 Scary Japanese Cheese

       PLOT:
       Mun a blind girl recieves an eye transplant. Soon afterwards she
       begins to see disturbing images, things that aren't there, and
       ghosts. She and her doctor go on a journey to find out why.

       REVIEW:
  
       OK the plot might seem generic, but this was an ASIAN Horror
       movie. That means it was genuinely scary.

      I found the movie to be divided into two parts,: the first hour
      and the last half hour. The first hour is very much like most ghost
      movies in that the main charater sees creepy visions. These visions
      are actually really creepy, mostly cause of the crazy/scary music
      they play though 90% of the movie. After seeing some of these
      scenes I can say I would be doing some things the same anymore.
      Mostly riding alone in elevators. That's all I'm gonna say.

      The second part of the movie is the girl trying to find the
      original owner of her eyes, and why she sees such crazy things.
      The movie goes into a much different tone, from pure dread
       to suspense. The climax is particularely cool, with the heroine
       trying to save people from a giant car accident. This ties the
       entire movie together, making it a wonderfully spun story.

     I find that Asian Horror does better at actually being scary than  
     American movie. They rely on dread, an simple shock scenes, to
     make you feel fear for the characters. Unlike in American slashers
     where you actually want the characters to die. THE EYE is
     wonderfully, almost butifuly filmed so that even when you know
     nothing bad is going to happen you still have theat constant sense
     of dread.

     I would compare thsi movie to THE SIXTH SENSE like many other
     critics, but I found the two movies to be very different. TSS relies
     on the shocking, surprise ending toleave the audience with senses
     of bewilderment, awe, and exictemen. While THE EYE doesn't
     rely one such an ending. So it has much more rewatchability.

     OVERALL I felt that the eye was A little unoriginal. But the slick 
     filming and actual dread infused within makes a must see for anyone
     looking to see a good Asian Horror movie. Or actually just a good
     horror movie period.
