The Eye (2008)

Remakes Why (10 movies items)

"Because another movie is in another language, the Amercians feel the need to take it and remake it, The eye is the classic example of how they remake classic horror stories into crap.

“I wasn't expecting much from this flick but I always enjoy a horror flick from time to time so why not this one? Following the foot steps of Naomi Watts and Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jessica Alba hoped to find some success with this remake of an Asian horror flick but, unfortunately for her, the end-result was rather disappointing.

" Directed by: David Moreau & Xavier Palud ('Ils') With: Jessica Alba, Alessandro Nivola, Parker Posey, Rade Serbedzija, Chloë Grace Moretz Was the original - Gin gwai (2002) - worth a look?
