  Very excellent physcological horror
  
  Asian cinema horror is improving all the time, and The Eye is a worthy addition.
  
  Some scenes will make you jump, especially the lift scene.

  I am a 27 year old fan of horror films and have recently become interested in Japanese horror. I saw this film with no idea what it was really about.

  And you'll miss the scary bit.
  
  Apart from some nice touches (a hip lean grim reaper figure) this is a run of the mill ghost story.
