With its spooky first-person rendering of Mun's experience -- blurred, tentative, disoriented -- The Eye creates a world of constant and imminent upheaval.

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

Though perhaps not the greatest thing since sliced eyeballs, The Eye is definitely worth a look, or even a double-take.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

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.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Rotten

It's a definite display of talent, but without enough thematic richness to get deeply under our skins.

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

An atmospheric and cleverly executed nail-biter.
