Jessica Alba is “neutral” in The Eye, a remake of the Chinese language horror film Gin Gwai (2002). While this film scared the hell out of me and had me jumping out of my seat or gripping the armrests a lot, there was something missing. Not to mention, the movie sort of changed direction towards the very end, after wandering around kind of aimlessly.

Still, your $8-10 for a ticket to a horror movie is probably better spent on The Eye rather than Cloverfield. (Cloverfield mostly disturbed and/or irritated me, and provided maybe seven minutes of thrill. The Eye’s supernatural feel was much more white-knuckle.)
