| | Movie Review - Eye 2, The - Hollywood Bitchslap (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | As The Eye 2 opens, the central character, Joey Cheng (Shu Qi), emotionally distraught after the end of a romantic relationship, slips into despair and into a half-hearted suicide attempt in a Thai hotel (Cheng is Chinese, but apparently English is the common language spoken with the hotel staff). |
 | | Although the Pang Brothers attempt to infuse The Eye 2 with a sense of dread or menace for the protagonist, the inexplicable decision to show the ghost-woman’s face, making her all-too-real, dampens down any possible threat she may pose to the protagonist. |
 | | If "The Eye 2" accurately reflects cultural and spiritual norms in Southeast Asia, “ensoulment,” the point in time when the immortal soul is joined to a physical body (most strains of Christianity assume conception), occurs right before birth, not at conception. |
