The Eye 2 is a supernatural horror movie from 2004 directed by the Pang Brothers. It features Shu Qi, Eugenia Yuan, and Jesdaporn Pholdee in lead roles. The movie is a sequel to The Eye, and follows a similar plot. Shu Qi plays Joey, a woman who attempts suicide after her boyfriend breaks up with her. She survives the attempt, but soon discovers that she is pregnant. She decides to keep the baby and moves in with her new boyfriend Sam (Jesdaporn Pholdee). However, as her pregnancy progresses, Joey starts experiencing strange visions of ghosts and spirits.
Joey seeks the help of a psychiatrist, but he is unable to provide her with any satisfactory answers. Her condition worsens, and she starts seeing the ghosts of women who died during pregnancy or childbirth. She also begins to have premonitions about the future.
Joey's hallucinations and premonitions make her increasingly paranoid and fearful. She becomes convinced that her unborn child is in danger and that the ghosts are trying to harm it. She turns to a Taoist monk, Sister Ying (Eugenia Yuan), for help.
Sister Ying is an expert in exorcism and believes that Joey's baby is being targeted by a vengeful spirit. She performs a ritual to remove the evil spirit from Joey's body, but it fails. The situation becomes desperate when Joey's premonitions reveal that she will harm her own baby.
The Eye 2 is an eerie and suspenseful movie that delves into the dark corners of the supernatural. Shu Qi delivers a powerful performance as Joey, transforming from a depressed and vulnerable woman to a paranoid and terrified mother-to-be. Eugenia Yuan is equally impressive as the no-nonsense Sister Ying, who battles the spirits with ferocity and determination.
The movie is notable for its atmospheric cinematography, particularly the scenes set in Hong Kong's towering skyscrapers and bustling streets. The use of sound is also effective, with the haunting cries of the ghosts adding to the overall sense of dread.
Overall, The Eye 2 is a worthy sequel to The Eye and does not disappoint horror fans. Its exploration of the fears associated with pregnancy and motherhood adds a unique twist to the genre, and the performances by the lead actors elevate the movie beyond standard horror fare.
The Eye 2 is a 2004 thriller with a runtime of 1 hour and 35 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.7.
