I just watched a Japanese horror flick entitled The Eye, and I was pleasantly surprised. This film is a classic case of… oops I got a cornea transplant and now I'm seein' real crazy shit! I'm seein' dead people! Remember the American movie "Body Parts", where some dude got, of all the things, an arm transplant. 'Cept of course the arm was that of a convicted killer, and it started doing things the "dude" could not control. Sounds kind'a stupid, and yes, it is a little farcical, but once you get past that aspect of the film, The Eye, it really is quite well done. And there is an unmitigated creep factor with the film that is far superior to many American made horror, and or, thrillers these days. Really, this movie is good. It has a sense and a style and a mood that is very reminiscent of The Ring, and it never ceases its undeniably foreboding and dread-inspired "Creep Factor". That's why I give The Eye a FAST FOOD MEAL review.
