    It's fair to say that Inner Senses is a very familiar tale of vengeful spirits, thankfully it remains a very enjoyable ride with enough effective set pieces to warrant the hairs on the back of your neck standing to attention.

    I first saw this movie just as Ringu was recieving the Worldwide attention it so clearly deserved. Even at the time it was hardly original, The Sixth Sense being an obvious influence on this Eastern delight. That's where the comparisons end though because Inner Senses certainly delivers in shock factor.

    There are some great moments here, affecting performances from the leads and a neat twist at the half way point which changes the direction of the movie completely.

    After so many Ringu clones though it's fair to say that Inner Senses may not surprise you in the way that it would have done three years ago, as an addition to the growing Eastern horror bandwagon though it remains an enjoyable fright fest which should keep horror fans happy.

  • Love Leslie

    Leslie is still very much loved by the Hong Kong fans. This film is really scary and I am watching this the 3rd time.

  • A fine ghost story

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    This has genuine spine-tingling moments and yes some bits seem familiar but for me the acting of Leslie Cheung and Kar Yan Lam made it. And it has the gorgeous Valerie Chow in support. Even more poignant is the fact that this was the last film Leslie Cheung made before committing suicide, a scene at the end brings this home to you. A film worth watching twice because I missed a few clever pointers and twists as to the outcome. And there's Peter Kam's soundtrack and the theme song 'Carry On'. A wonderful film, just enjoy Leslie Cheung, sadly missed.

    Starts really well. A bit like a Chinese Sixth Sense. But the last 45 minutes is awful and improbable.

  • More psychological drama than horror

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By dodrade (21 reviews) from Strabane , 18 Apr 2008
    Reading plot summaries you may think Inner Senses is another variation of the sixth sense or the eye, but it is quite different, more a psychological character study than derivative horror and none the worse for it, though there are a few scares which should please fans of the genre. Leslie Cheung is absorbing in his final role, although the ending may be too close for comfort for many of his fans given the nature of his untimely death.

  • Dreadful

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By Mash (26 reviews) from Lewes , 30 Jan 2008
    At first it didn't seem such a bad film - with a girl seeing ghosts and such. But then when Leslie Cheung character came into the picture, it went from bad to worse.

    Then half way through the movie, it wasn't about the girl seeing ghosts any more, it was Leslie Cheung seeing things and acting weird - it came across like it was a different film, like as if they just gave up on the girl and moved on... just didn't fit with first part of the movie.

    The plot is so crap, there was no 'deeper' story, it just got weaker - by the end of the movie I just felt I wasted an evening.

    Think the film would have been better if it was a Six Sense clone - at least it would have been good.
