Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Though perhaps not the greatest thing since sliced eyeballs, The Eye is definitely worth a look, or even a double-take.
Seeing dead people? A jarring journey from darkness into light? Granted, it's been done. But there are sweet, difficult pleasures here just the same.
It's a definite display of talent, but without enough thematic richness to get deeply under our skins.
An atmospheric and cleverly executed nail-biter.
