Review of The Eye (2008) by Robs. — 10 Feb 2008
Lot of "been here done that" feel. Some jumps in there for sure, and from what I could get from the audience the elevator scene was the creepiest. The movie has a slow build, starts to confuse you, then throws Sydney into survival mode while her "friends" do the cliched horror movie "there's nothing wrong, it must be you".
There could of been some devious twists near the end of the movie, but instead they take the safe route. Alba/Sydney would of made a great villain in the end because the sugar and spice Sydney never really changes as a character.
Love the death escort guys...evil looking grim reapers that no one has ever reported from real near death experiences, but at least they're creepy. Rent it, unless you enjoy sitting around annoying teenage kids.
One last thing movie makers: please put an end to ghost kids and their echoy sounding voices. I truly have had my fill of the ghost kids and think "cheap" instead of "creep".
