5/5 Underrated........ and more scary than you think!
  by C. Duchesne (Quebec, Canada)
I just watched this movie for the second time and I enjoyed it a lot more than I did the first time and now I can say that it's a very good movie!

Usually when I read a review for a scary movie, I want to know how scary it is, so that's what I'm gonna tell!

I'm definitely not someone who gets scared easily. I've seen over 1000 horror movies and the only ones that I find scary are The Eye and Shutter (both are asian and are about ghosts)! Movies like Ringu and Ju-On are also fairly scary, but not as scary as The Eye and Shutter. I have to say that, usually, before I watch a movie that is supposed to be scary, I put myself in the mood to be scared (I just love to be scared) and it worked really well with this movie! There are a lot of unexpected scenes in The Eye 2, the sound effects are really freaky, a lot of really weird stuff happens and there are a couple of scenes with a lot of tension! Most of the scary scenes made me jump only, but there are some that made me feel pretty damn uneasy! I don't think that there's anything scarier than a good ghost movie because no one knows if ghosts exist or not and the idea that maybe they exist is scary as hell!

Scarier than any American horror movies coming out these days for sure!

Note: This review was written in 2007. Before one of the scariest movies ever (Paranormal Activity) was released!

3/5 better than some tv shows

After seeing the reviews about the blood and gore, I almost didn't watch this film. I am not a fan of gore or senseless violence, so for those like me, I am writing this review. First of all, the bloodiest scene that comes to mind was the scene where the potential rapist (it didn't happen) has a bandage around his head when he walks into the hospital. (Frankly, I think he got off easy, and they didn't even show what happened to him.) You can see a little bit of blood oozing through the bandage. The scene with the train hitting the kid, as I think someone mentioned on here, was really quick, like BOOM and then scene change. I'm sorry that I can't tell you more about the movie, because I watched it in Korean(?) and I do not understand Korean. However, as far as body language goes, it is universal, so I think I got the gist of the movie. It was a lot less gorey than the Grudge, so if you made it through that movie, you should be fine.

I didn't like this movie as well as The Eye, just because I felt like it was playing on the same theme without as much logic involved. My favorite scene in The Eye 2 is with the woman from the lamaze class, who was crying and the ghost man sitting near her, whom only the lead character could see.

4/5 Better than I thought it would be

An unnerving thriller that one-ups its predecessor in terms of dramatic quality and character development.

1/5 Amazon's preview system stinks!
  by Jerry Jackson Jr. (Cincinnati, OH United States)
Listen, The Eye 2 is actually a fairly good movie, but if you've never seen it before and you click on the preview button to watch a short clip of the movie all you see is the opening credits. Does Amazon think people who are on the fence about renting this movie are going to say, "Oh ... I'm sure this movie will be great, just look at who the director of photography is!"

If you're going to offer a preview clip, offer a preview clip from somewhere inside the movie. The credits are absolutely worthless.

4/5 Credible follow-up, though not a sequel
  by Phillip Royer (San Francisco)
Typical Pang Brothers: inventive camera-work, thoughtful sound design, well constructed scenes, a few jolts, and a story line that mixes fantasy, flashbacks, hallucinations and dreams with some present tense reality and impossible events (like jumping pregnant off a building roof and ending up with only a few scratches and a healthy baby. Call it a script.

No secret, I guess, that the Pang Brothers have their own personal logic and/or they can't be bothered with cohesiveness to their stories as long as there's a general thrust of somebody doing something questionable so the scaries can come after them until they fess up in an ambiguous way. I don't care. They do everything else well enough for me to enjoy their films.

Big pleasant surprise was anorexic super-model Shu Qi nailed her part. She was beautiful and convincing.

There is no reason for this film to be called EYE 2 except for capitalizing on the success of the original EYE which dealt specifically with a blind person getting an eye transplant from ... drum roll please ... someone who didn't die right--the basis of most Asian horror--so they haunt until a remedy is found.

I'm pretty sure Shu Qi had 20/20 vision in this movie, but she was messing around with a married guy, causing the wife to commit suicide (didn't die right), comb her hair over her face like a good Asian horror girl should so she can effectively haunt the nasty mistress who is pregnant with her cheating husband's child.

The MIA husband of some other pregnant girl also haunts our heroine for some reason. I dunno.

They don't show it but at one point Shu Qi practically bites the face off some other guy. That was fun to think about.
