The Eye 2






                                                                 





Joey Cheng tries to commit suicide, because her "boyfriend" refuses to leave his wife for her. Failed her suicide attempt, she soon finds out that she's pregnant. Strange events start to occur more and more often :  broken mirrors, strange people appearing, especially one woman. Joey then looks for help to a monk, she learns that almost dying (because she attempted suicide) and being pregnant have opened a door to the dimension of ghosts. But what do those ghosts want from her?

Genre :  Horror, Drama
Lenght of the movie :  90 minutes

My opinion :  This is the following movie of The Eye!  I prefer the first one, but for a second movie, this is really good! (Usually second movies aren't that good). This movie is also different from other horror movies, a touch of sadness and poetic vibe in this movie as well, a very creative story (based on Asian Buddhist beliefs), The main actress, Shu Qi, who's acting is really good... A great movie!  The story is really creative because WARNING SPOILERS :  this movie is based on popular asian buddhist belief :  Reincarnation. The ghosts that haunt the young pregnant woman, actually want to reincarnate into her baby. Often had a difficult life, they hope to reincarnate and be re-born in a better life. END OF THE SPOILER.   That is why I find this movie's story very creative. I recommand this movie!
