Been meaning to make a thread about this for ages, I dont think one has been made yet, if it has, sorry I missed it !

 

Anyway, anyone else seen The Eye? I saw it end of March, thought it was a good film

Is this the film with Jess Alba :wub:

Yes :wub:

 

and Mart!n... SHES MINE! :P lol

 

I enjoyed it but I heard its only 'OK' when compared to the japanese version though (Which i havent seen DONT SHOOT :lol:)

You guys really need to see the Korean/Thai original by Oxide and Danny Pang....

 

...Frankly, I thought this remake was absolutely c**p at handling the scares and tension which the Pangs managed incredibly well in their original film....

 

The story itself was basically just reduced to a rather basic cross between "Sixth Sense" and "Blink".... Jessica Alba even taking on the appearance slightly of Madeleine Stowe in the latter film.... A "hottie" she may be, a "good actress" she certainly is not (which is bizarre because I quite liked her when she was playing Max in "Dark Angel".. Has she just forgotten how to act...? Or are the incredibly dull film projects and roles she's involved with just boring her silly....?)

 

Dull... Just another crappy, forgettable remake.... -_-

How did i know you'd slate this :rolleyes: :lol:

You probably know of my general dislike for Horror remakes.... :lol:

 

I wouldn't even bother to go to see half of the films I do if I didn't have one of these swanky "Unlimited Cineworld" passes..... :lol:

 

...I'd probably just end up downloading 'em instead though.....

Yeah man too true - tho sometimes going to the dvd sale in borders when they are offloading all the foreign language films might be a better use of your time - tho at least cineworld did have [for a week ] them (ils) which was a good film - didnt bother with this remake as i've got the original version, the trailer for the remake looked $h!te and after sitting thru Awake - lhoping Alba has a very long maternity leave from films :lol: (Norah Jones could easily step into her shoes)
