Gin gwai (The Eye)

Angelica Lee plays Wong Kar Muna, a young blind girl who receives a cornea transplant so that she could normally like everyone else. Unfortunately with the surgery, she finds out that she's able to see the dead. She even finds out that some of the ghosts that she meets are not very likable. In order for her to regain her sight back and stop seeking ghosts, she has to travel from place to place and go the home of the previous eye donor to find the cause and the solution to her problem.
Wong Kar Mun, 18, lives in Hong Kong with grandmother and older sister. Since the age of two, she has been declared blind. She go through with the cornea transplantation surgery, and realizes while she recovers from her eye surgery, she discovers that she can see ghosts. Lawrence Chou plays Dr. Wah, the man who supports Mun and helps her solve her problem.
Eighteen year old Wong Kar Mun comes home from a long-hard day. First, she takes off her jacket. Then she takes off her sunglasses. When she does that, her eyes make her look scary. Freaked me out a little bit. After she puts on her pajamas and gets ready to fall asleep, she just lays there and relive everything that happened.
The first hospital scene was the one that started it all. This was where she started to see ghosts. Actually, this is where a shadowy man would appear each time a person would die. The first dead person that she saw was the old woman who was lying in the bed right across from where Mun was sleeping. The old woman died on the same day that Mun was admitted. That night, Mun heard some noise coming from outside the halls. She saw the shadowy man, got out of her bed and followed him into the halls. When she got there, the ghost of the old lady was standing at the opposite end of the hall. Slowly, she walks down to the other end where the dead old lady is standing. As she moves closer and closer to the ghost, she reaches out her hand and suddenly disappeared and reappeared around Mun. After a while, she returned back to her bed. I don't think she got any sleep after that. I know I wouldn't if I saw a dead person.
While Mun was in the hospital, she made a new friend named Yingying, (played by Yut Lai So) an eleven year old girl who has been diagnosed with some form of cancer. Their first meeting was after Mun was admitted in the hospital. She was lying in bed when she heard (or felt) someone was approaching. When she grabbed the person's wrist, she took off the blindfold and there she was; Yingying standing right above her, with a camera in her hand. She was taking pictures of everything and everyone she saw. After becoming fast friends, Yingying and Mun took one picture together. Yingying gave the picture(on the train) to Mun so that she would have something to remember her by. Somehow, Yingying knew it wasn't going to be long for her to die.
One day, Mun's older sister takes her to go see Dr. Wah, a psychologist who could be able to help Mun with her problem. So she sits in front of the doctor and tells him everything that she has seen and experienced. When she finshed sharing her story with him, she could tell that he thought she was a little bit crazy. He said that he didn't. All he wants to do is help her. From that day forward, he started to figure out ways to help her. In fact, there was a scene where they went to see a specialist. His office was located in this hospital that looked more like a waiting room for the dead. As Dr. Wah is talking to the specialist, Mun wanders off, looks around and sees that dreamt about this place. That when she figure out how to resolve the mystery of her vision. And that's when she decided to go to Ling's old house. Ling (played by Chutcha Rujinanon) is a young girl who died some years ago, as a result of hanging herself in her room and committing suicide. She was also the one who donated her eyes to Mun so that she could have the operation. While the two of them are in the house, Ling's mother tells them the story on how Ling died and how Mun developed her gift of seeing the dead. After the mother was finished with her story, Mun felt Ling's presence coming near. Apparently, so did the mother. So Mun was telling her to come upstairs with her, but the mother didn't want to because it was just too painful. Mun went up stairs and figured out the whole thing.
The ending was just like Ling's prediction in the village. A disaster was on its way and Mun was going from vehicle to vehicle warning everyone to get out and run for their lives. Unfortunately, when the disaster hit, it was too late. It claimed all of those people's lives and now their ghosts as well. However, during the attack, Mun was stroked in the eye by a foreign object, which left her completely blind. The interesting part was, after all that happened to her, the world seemed more beautiful to her now than if she did have 20/20 vision. What a great attitude she had. I'm glad she didn't feel sorry for herself.
I'm not a fan of horror movies, but I have to say that I enjoyed watching it. Everything about it was well done. The story line was quite breathtaking and the actors were just great. The Pang Brothers did an excellent job on this whole project.
