User Review

Many people remember the opening scene of the movie *Scream*, when the killer calls and asks:‘What's your favorite horror movie?’ After that, I spent a long time thinking about which horror movie I actually love. There were plenty of options. But in the end, I settled on the *Eyes* trilogy by the Pang brothers.

This movie makes a strange impression on me—one it’s not supposed to make. It’s unbelievable, but true: the more I watch it, the more scared I get, even though that shouldn’t be possible, especially when you already know what’s going to happen next. But strange as it may seem, for someone like me—who is generally hard to scare with horror movies—my skin gets goosebumps every time a ghost appears on screen. And with each new viewing, this feeling becomes more intense.

I can’t say what the secret is, because the film isn’t really a masterpiece. What we have here is, in my opinion, a typical supernatural story about a person who suddenly starts seeing ghosts, and the crux of the plot lies in finding out why this happened.

After her surgery, the main character, Man-Man (played by the lovely Angelica Lee), suddenly begins to realize that not all the people she sees are alive. How can you tell a dead person from a living one? Sometimes, you can’t. That’s my number one reason for fear.

Man’s vision hasn’t fully recovered after the surgery, so what she sees is blurry. And the viewer can’t say with complete certainty, looking at the world through Man’s eyes, who that black shadow is that’s taking the dead away with it. A person, death, or some kind of messenger of death? Mystery, uncertainty—the second reason for fear. The third reason for fear—every ghostly appearance is very striking. Something that’s missing, for example, in the American remake. Just seeing the ghost of the restaurant owner licking the meat with her blue tongue—meat that people, oblivious to her presence, then use to prepare dishes—is enough to send a chill down your spine. After that, you won’t want meat for a long time. Or the scene in the calligraphy class, probably the scariest in the entire film (which, by the way, was cut from the American version), when a ghost appears before Man and, screaming, “Why did you sit in my seat!”, lunges at her.

And the old man in the elevator, and the woman in the hospital, moaning and repeating that she’s cold. Even now, as I write this, I feel goosebumps running down my body and my hair standing on end.

These days, it’s very hard to scare viewers with ghosts. So why was I still scared? Probably because everything the Pang brothers used to scare us throughout the entire film was shown in such a way that the viewer couldn’t help but feel terrified.
