Terrible remake and goes to show that some films which make good ghost stories are better off seen in the original format. Hopefully Hollywood will spares us remakes of The Eye 2 and Eye Infinity.

It's basically the same as the original but is a thousand times more exaggerated. The original is more natural to make you believe more in the story, since the remake makes it all far-fetched, unrealistic.

Hopefully we've got the beautiful Jessica Alba collaborating with the look of the film. The story is interesting and plausible, has some good scenes of shock, although not being many and not giving so afraid and the performances are reasonable. Jessica Alba played fairly better than I expected.… Expand

What even is this movie? The script goes everywhere, the acting is all over exaggerated, and the characters are bland at best and silly at worst. There were one or two good scares, which prevent the movie from getting a "0" but man is thisWhat even is this movie?

Dull, insipid, horrendous, pathetic Hollywood remade (AGAIN) of very good Asian Horror movie. Avoid unless you have a taste for the naff.

This had to quite honestly the worst movie I have ever seen. The Chinese version of this film is awesome. But this movie was so overly horrible. They are shooting the Camera on Jessica's ass in so many angles. It's really pathetic. This had to quite honestly the worst movie I have ever seen. The Chinese version of this film is awesome.

Honestly, what a horrid movie.… Expand

"The major problem is the death of a horror film: It's startling, but not particularly scary," writes The Onion's Tasha Robinson. Well, it's a PG-13 film, Ms. Robinson; that should be your clue.

One of the worst movies ever done... They kind of missed the whole point of the original material.

It is a dull movie based on a dull written script. The only good part was Jessica Alba, or should I say "parts".

Not scary, a few "spooks", but not horror-film-genre-worthy. Had no plot, or a very poor one at that. Nivola, the "counsler", is the worst actor i've seen in a long time. Wth, Is he fresh out of summer camp acting school? The ending was Not scary, a few "spooks", but not horror-film-genre-worthy. Had no plot, or a very poor one at that.

The ending was pretty much irrelevant to the plot, Alba was a pure disappointment, and the sorry never not lacked, because it never built a plot! GLAD I WATCHED IT ONLINE FREE!!… Expand

Predictable at every turn. The ending was weak. I'm sure the meat of the story was lost somewhere in the editing session.
