..Gin gwai (The Eye) by the Danny & Oxide (Oxide?!)Pang follows in the tradition of The Grudge, Dark Water & other ghosty asiatic creepies. Reminiscent in parts of Nicholas Roaeg's masterly Don't Look Now.
Very well edited, original shots & good accompanying score make this a must if you like that sort of thing.
Personally, these asiatic horror films all seem somehow empty plot-wise, despite 'horror-in-the-ordinary'
A ghost is a ghost is a ghost?
