The Eye!

I went to watch movie "The Eye" with chris on Tuesday night after a very disappointing house viewing at Jurong West. The movie starring Jessica Alba as Sydney who is a blind musician who got a corneal transplant, but after the transplant, strange thing start to happen.

This is a remake of the Hong Kong of "The eye" with nothing much have change. Even thought the plot is the same, the acting is way different and of course the directing is also different. For the Hollywood version, it way more scarier then the Asian counterpart. The way the director make use of the atmosphere to make the movie scary in addition to the artist who make the movie scary.

Well, it is not without flaw of course! The plot is basically the same as the Asian version, so people can already predict what would happen next. This way it is the critical point or should you say a cons, as once the suspense is gone then the movie had already not achieve what a horror film should be. But nonetheless, the meaning that i interpreted is that some gift can be both a blessing and a curse, and that sometime you need to really trust someone even if i make no sense at all. It also let you know what it like to look at thing from the eye of another. This not something people can do! Don't you agree on this! Anyway, i would grade this show a 6 star, which in my opinion is a show worth watching.
