How dare Pang brothers make out such a stupid movie!!!!!!!!!!! I am disappointed !!
The first The Eye of the series was very creative and all the cast and crews did very good work. The second one was not as good as the first one. But Shu Qi's acting and the whole story is at least a horror film. But the third one....how to say, I think they can stop making the series.
Stupid lines, dull acting, dated horrors, the film contains all the bad parts of a awful hong kong horror film. I don't know Pang brothers want to make the film a horror or a comedy.
I guess the Pang brothers may have been affected by some stupid company bosses. The whole film is not their type. If you love the Eye series,don't watch this one.

Well, it has been a slow, but steady downward slope for "The Eye" (aka "Gin gwai") franchise, ever since after the original 2002 movie. And this third movie in the franchise titled "The Eye 10" (aka "Gin gwai 10"), but oddly released as "The Eye 3: Infinity", was just the crowning achievement of the franchise, and this is where the franchise died for me.
This third movie in the franchise, as written by Danny Pang, Oxide Chun Pang and Mark Wu turns away from being straight forward horror to adding comedy elements to it as well, thus becoming a horror comedy of sorts. But not the good kind of horror comedy, mind you.
Sitting through "The Eye 10" is a difficult ordeal, especially since this is essentially an anthology of showcasing various Asian superstitions and rituals. So there was very little of a proper storyline to be enjoyed here.
While I initially watched "The Eye 10" back in 2005 when it was released, I had to sit down again in 2021 to watch it again, as I had entirely forgotten about this movie's story. I remember having seen it, but the contents were gone from memory. And sitting down to watch this anthology was not a blast, believe you me. It was boring, tedious and downright pointless unless you are Asian and have an insight into the superstitious world of Asia and folklore.
"The Eye 10" was a massive swing and a miss, and it doesn't even measure up to any of the predecessing two movies by a long shot. Nay, "The Eye 10" is like the cousin that the other two don't ever talk about or mention.
The acting performances in "The Eye 10" were adequate. Sure, I will give the movie that much. However, you are not being treated to any familiar or famous actors or actresses here, so you are not in for 1 hour and 26 minutes of particularly great company.
Do yourself a favor and stay clear of "The Eye 10", especially if you enjoyed either or both of the previous two movies in original Asian "The Eye" franchise.
This is definitely not a movie that I will be returning to watch again. There simply was no point in wasting 1 hour and 26 minutes on this.
My rating of "The Eye 10" lands on a generous three out of ten stars, based mostly on the production value here.

I've seen "The Eye" and "The Eye 2" and enjoyed them both, so when I heard about this one I got my hopes up that I could watch another scary horror movie.
I settled down, and at the start it seemed as though that was exactly what we were going to be treated to ... but then it all went downhill. I found myself wondering whether the film was supposed to be a horror film or a comedy film. To me it was neither. There were some great scary moments in it, but then you'd get an attempt at some at comedy. Notice I said "attempt". I don't think I found any of it that funny at all, and all it did was ruin the suspense and horror aspect of the rest of the movie.
The actors didn't really seem to know what to do or act in a lot of the scenes - and that didn't help either. The only saving grace is the length of the film - it's short!
I've given it 3/10 only because some of the scary bits were quite well done, but don't take that as any sort of recommendation. My advice - give it a miss, especially if you've seen the first 2 and expect this to be anything like them.

Having really loved the first two films I was really looking forward to the third part. I knew going in that the Pang Brother's were going to have something different for me with this one. I knew that the brothers wanted to make each episode in the Eye films to be completely different but still stay true to the heart of the films and I very much welcomed that. The Eye was more of a classic ghost story, The Eye 2 was more of a drama and The Eye 10 I knew was going to be more of a teen movie. Sounded good to me. So what did I think of the film. I loved it a lot...it wasn't as bad as everyone said it was, in fact it was everything I hoped it would be...but was it better than the first 2? Short answer no with a but. This film doesn't try to be like the first two, it's is own film just like the second was to the first. It has it's own story to tell in it's own way and does a great job of staying on it's own. When a lot of people talked about this film they said it was wanna be Scream and tried to be all funny and stuff and truth is...it's nothing like Scream. I consider this film more like a throw back to classic 80's horror stuff like Night of the Demons or even Sleepaway Camp 2...meaning it's suppose to be fun then a straight forward horror movie. That's what I liked best of the film, I loved it's modern feel...a lot of ghost movies are always told in that classic kind of way you know and it was just great seeing it done with that 80's feel but still feeling modern. I liked the new take, I loved the faster pace, I loved the directing and I loved how the film still keep a lot of it's religious sub plots. I loved the new takes on how to see ghost and I loved what happened due to that. The movie still had a lot of scares and never once did it let up. I also loved some of the humor thrown into the film that just had a smile on my face. I just loved the whole feel and vibe to the film.Once again the Pang Brothers are masters behind the camera and the kick ass shot. They handle the acting and the scares very well. While this film isn't perfect, I liked the 3 rd act but just wished they would have done it differently and I could have really done without the fart joke...this film is a real great watch and just plain fun. I'm sure some fans of the first film aren't going to buy into this one much but if you watch it as it's own film...it's a real treat. In a world where every other ghost story is a wannabe The Ring, it's nice feeling a fun just have fun with it's self and still be smart and cool as can be. All in all...a great show. Bring on the next one.What a great series of films.
It's clear that "The Eye" franchise has run out of steam, ideas, scares, visuals, you name it. It's over.
The film actually begins at a rather swift and surprising pace (with likable people), and it manages to maintain interest for about 25 minutes before slowly deflating in front of your very Eye. It's a ghost-chasing-teen-romp, unlike the first in the series, which was drenched in pathos, hospital sterility, and Mann's physical disability. In fact, this latest movie references the first Eye quite frequently, especially the haunted elevator scene and the bit with the young boy-ghost trying to find his report card in the apartment stairwell. But this film recreates these once-fraught scenes in a self-conscious giggling way. Unfortunately the effect was to make me want to watch the original outing one more time because it really is such a fine, grave, and startling film.
Alas, this third in the series is none of the above.
Oh, and it's not funny either.
I suppose the Pangs wanted to get away from the dread-filled atmosphere of the first two features, and so they rely on some ham-fisted joking and some outright slapstick between the scares. The real low moment came when the unavoidable fart joke appeared--farting as a means to ward off evil spirits. Hmmmm. I knew at that very moment the franchise had squeaked out its last gassssssp. Goodbye Eye.
