The Eye Just got back from seeing the Pang Brothers' new horror movie "The Eye." I think it's really interesting that so many good horror movies are coming from overseas. What's more interesting to me is how the PLOT was completely overwhelmed by the CONCEPT. I have found a trend in contemporary movies of CHARACTER over PLOT. I see it time and again -- a movie with rich, believable characters that does not have a soul. "Adaptation." "The Hours." "Chicago." Well made, but something's missing. For me as an artist, I'm trying to find, and quantify even, that "something" that turns a work into something great. As for the recent run of Asian horror movies, it's often the ending that brings it home. Does THE EYE do that at the end? Well, I'm not so sure. But the first half is definitely recommended, so go judge for yo'self.
