The Eye Reviews
It proves less cohesive than your average Asian horror remake due to the troubled production and a star incapable of relating dramatic tension.

Along with Posey's disappointing turn here, Nivola is uncomfortably weak.
| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020
Takes a B-minus import and turns it into a D-minus retread.

Brothers Danny and Oxide Pang's unnerving spook show from 2002 has been translated into a clunky, aimless interpretation that leaves you with just one overpowering thought: are Jessica Alba's lips for real?
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 16, 2013
Turns out seeing dead people can still be kind of a thrill.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2012
Jessica Alba sees dead people in blah horror film.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 17, 2010
Jessica Alba may be easy on the eyes, but a lack of dramatic heft makes her hard on The Eye.

It creates a good atmosphere, but no tension. The movie is just not memorable.

It's all based on the creepy little Chinese film Gin gwai, an atmospheric spine-tingler that, we're sad to say, is considerably more frightening than this tame effort.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 14, 2008
Terrible direction, forgettable performances, and writers who are so faithful to the source material that they even pick up the original film's plot holes...
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 5, 2008
...ultimately establishes itself as the most effective endeavor of its kind since 2005's Dark Water.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2008
...it doesn't leave us with much more than a feeling that we've been there and seen it all before.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 16, 2008
A terrifying treat for horror junkies, as Alba's nervous wreck visionary wards off being attacked by apartments and restaurants, while dealing with a bad case of occult organ rejection.

With every twist of the second-hand plot telegraphed far in advance, you don't need to be clairvoyant to see where this is going.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 25, 2008
Effectively creepsome until it bogs down somewhat in plot explication.
Full Review | Apr 25, 2008
Alba simply isn't good enough to carry this kind of movie, and lacks the presence to counter the major deficiencies of a weak and feeble ghost story.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 25, 2008
One can't turn a blind eye to such conspicuous failings.
| Original Score: 2/6 | Apr 25, 2008
There are a couple of effective scares, but this feels like a retread too far. Enough with J-horror already - let's do something new.

Lionsgate has delivered a solid PG-13 horror film that's both entertaining and suspenseful... and for those of you who don't like it, there will be more SAW on October 24.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2008
The latest American remake of an Eastern import in which the thrills have been hopelessly squandered in translation, replaced with distracting, rapid-fire camerawork and thunderous bumps in the night that reflect a kind of creative desperation.
