Jason Statham is my hero

On to The Eye. My history with scary movies is a love/hate story. I love to watch them, but I turn into a little girl by the end a regret ever thinking about it. My wife is the same. Usually, when we are at the video store, I will jokingly suggest some crazy-scary movie that I know she will turn down. When she came to me and suggested The Eye, I was shocked. I quickly said, “ok!” and rushed to the counter to check out. On the way home, I said, “now, you know this is a scary movie”, her reply was, “I know, it can’t be that bad”. Well, after about 45 minutes of Jessica Alba walking down dark halls, and running into crazy oriental school boys, we were ready to pull the plug. My wife was digging her nails into my leg so hard, I still have scars. I hate how these movies use frame skips to make things scary. You’ll have some dude walking towards Jessica’s door, while she is looking out the peephole, then all of a sudden, it skips frames and he is right up at the door. Fuck! I hate that! You know it’s going to happen, just not when. Kind of like popping a balloon in someone’s face. Still, I love watching them. Gets the blood flowing.

 

Funny thing during the previews for The Eye: There was a trailer for The Eye 2. You got to love straight-to-DVD releases.
