User Reviews

A terrible film

Comparing to the eye 1, this movie is horrible. It wasn't has scary has the first one, the storyline badly sucked and the mystery is pretty boring. Plot: Shu Qi play Joey Cheng, a rich depress girl who is in the midst of a breakup. She decided to take dozen of sleeping pill to suicide but was rescue. Because, of the near death experience, she can see dead people and a girl ghost is following her. On another note, she is pregnant to the boyfriend who she breakup too, will her baby be born?

The only thing good about this movie is the scary depressing act by Shu Qi. The suspense of this movie is equally has good has the eye, but it not has scary. After to the mid-way point, the movie start getting boring... I don't see where it was heading to make the movie worthwhile. Again directed by the Pang Brother, the direction and pace of these movie were well done. The supporting character contain a lot of no name who basically are non-essential (unlike the first one). The element is pretty much similar, but the ending wasn't has shocking.

If you want to see a good suspense thriller, go watch Koma, the new Anglica Lee movie (whom she was in the first eye). This movie did make a lot of money in Hong Kong, so there might be a third one.
