    1. White of the Eye (1987) - The sunbaked southwestern Vaporwave Giallo from Cannon Films we all craved. Helicopter shots and Pavaratti, gory corpses wrapped in plastic, hundreds of eyeball closeups, David Keith installing stereos in desert mansions, a dynamite vest, all shot like a music video.

A very fine film all the way through, building to a stupendous final shot.

    Empire Strikes Back was the 2nd film I ever saw at the cinema. For years, no-one believed me that a UK short film, Black Angel, was shown before it (it was never released). 1st film was Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, Sunderland, 1977. The giant walrus made me assume all walruses were that big.

    The Eye (2008) – Review Ah yes, the 2000s - where horror remakes were plentiful and a fair few of them failed to match the original. Regardless of your personal feelings concerning genre do-overs that saw everyone from celebrated horror icons to the killer from Prom Night getting shiny new reduxes, the glut of J-Horror that were getting American remakes proved to be fairly alarming.I'll freely admit that Gore Verbinski's take on Hideo Nakata's Ringu stands as a genuinely great example of an…

    The Eye is a film about guilt, not ghosts. The cornea transplant is almost incidental once you understand what the original host was carrying. The 2008 American remake strips all of that out and replaces it with jump scares, losing the quiet devastation that makes the Hong Kong original genuinely af

  • RalphRahal @RalphRahalTMDB reviews · Feb 8, 2025

    The Eye had the potential to be a gripping psychological horror, but it fell short in depth and originality. The plot follows a familiar formula without bringing much new to the table, making it predictable despite some intriguing moments. The directing is solid, with well-timed transitions and a smooth shift into the second act. Cinematography stands out in certain scenes, especially with the contrast between reality and visions, and small production details show attention to realism. However,…
