Reviews


50
Variety - Dennis Harvey
This slick effort is effectively creepsome until it bogs down somewhat in plot explication.
50
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Unfortunately, the final act (the Mexico sequences) illustrate where to take a ghost story if you want to exchange old-fashioned horror for a grilled cheese sandwich.
50
Boston Globe - Wesley Morris
Their movie is watchable - never more gratuitously so than when Alba is filmed showering and slipping into a tank top. But we've been here before, no?
50
Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
The most vivid aspect of The Eye is its poster image, that of a huge female eye with a human hand gripping the lower lid from the inside. The least vivid aspect is the way Jessica Alba delivers a simple line of expository dialogue.
42
The A.V. Club - Tasha Robinson
The major problem is the death of a horror film: It's startling, but not particularly scary.
