good story but it has nothing to do with the eye. This is clearly a Spin Off

I feel that this movie should not have really been called the eye 2 because it really does not have to do with anything about the eye. But also the director said in the making that he decided to call it the eye 2 because it consists some of the same ghosts. So all in all This is a Spin Off.

The story itself is a bit hard to understand for Westerners because this movies Chinese Religion and Sayings play an important role in this movie.

The drama is good but the movie Lost a lot of it's horrific impact near the end. At the beginning you'll see some interesting things going on and a twist in the middle but it doesn't last. The Drama is mostly the cause and effect for what is happening in the movie and they did a pretty good job in a way and it's a movie to watch if your girl wants to watch a horror movie.

I have mixed feelings about this movie and there are some things i did not understand therefore i need to watch it again.

This movie feels like a mix between 6th sense and Rosemary's baby. It's a very unusual story mixed in with drama

7/10 for now.
