The Eye 2 (2004)

Aye-not

[4/10 · 18 May 2004]

(The beginning might be a spoiler...)

"The Eye 2" is the sequel to "The Eye". It's about a pregnant woman who is able to see ghosts and spirits after an incident happened to her.

The sound effects scared the hell out of me though momentarily but that's the only scary thing. Some of the scenes from the prequel are comparatively similar and repeated so the chilling effects certainly have chilled.

"The Eye" has quite a frightening and indelible impression whereas "The Eye 2" is a forgettable horror-cum-drama film. Omit watching this. Watching "The Eye" is good enough.

A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)

Twists and turns and some... (spoilers!)

[6/10 · 6 March 2004]

Spoilers ahead!

Two sisters returned home after a long "vacation". They were greeted warmly by their stepmother, Eun-joo. But the elder sister, Su-mi ignored her and went to her room followed by her younger sister, Su-yeon. Su-mi showed her dislike to her stepmother when she found out that her stepmother had messed her wardrobe by rearranging her belongings while her sister feared the stepmother like some kind of a plague. Strange things began to happen During the visit of a couple, one of them had a sudden attack (which seemed like epilepsy to me) and foams of saliva was coming out from her mouth. When she recovered and left the house, she told her husband she saw someone under the kitchen's cabinet. Eun-joo's pet bird died. Eun-joo suspected that Su-yeon was the culprit and locked Su-yeon up in a closet. This stirred hatred between the sisters and their stepmother. When Su-mi told her father that Eun-joo locked Su-yeon up, it turned out that things doesn't seem what they appear to be in this movie. The ending was a surprise. You have to watch to find out what the surprise is. This is a psychological movie with twists and surprises. But there maybe some monotonous moments. If you like this genre of movie, watch it.
