I don't get it. If this ability comes from the donated eye, then how come she can also hear the dead?

That, Bardego, is a good question. Guess we'll have to watch the movie to find out!

Also, how the hell does she know that her vision is blurry, she has never seen anything in her life, she wouldn't know what blurry is.

yeah, i bet these good questions will never be answered, hence, this movie will suck major testicles, probably that of elephant proportion.

This is a Remake of a Japanese horror movie.. Just like the Ring, The Grudge, Dark Water, Ect. I hope they don't mess this up. The Japanese film was scary as hell!

Well, it can't suck more than the original did. Or can it? Hollywood loves to suck!

Please, Rotten Tomatoes, don't actively seek out ****ty movies to write about! How god damn stupid are you? Whose side are you on?

And EwoknRoll, the original definitely was not Japanese. Pan-Asian in cast and crew, shot in Thailand and Hong Kong, but not Japanese.

I can not believe that the american remake is even remaking the exact same grammatic mistake the chinese one did. All of your complains also exist in the original movie. What made the original so great is that it was just very refreshing to see a asian scary movie that does not use like a lot of splatters and blood.

Just because all Asians look the same doesn't mean they are all Japanese. Does anyone know Hong Kong at all? The stupid presenter at the Oscars labeled Infernal Affairs as a Jap movie as well? Retards!

I, myself, am the proud owner of transplanted corneas, so this movie sounds fascinating to me.

Keep your contacts clean, folks.

why does this *****(alba) keep getting roles? she can't freakin' act. I would never forgive her for destroying Susan Storm's legacy on Fantastic Four with her lazy on screen presence. Don't even get me started on Honey, Into the Blue, Good Luck Chuck and the list goes on. All her movies have flopped but she still gets roles? are you kidding me? her upcoming movie "Awake" is equally bound to flop. She belongs on the covers on Maxim and not in front of the camera.

The trailer makes this film look just like the original version, am I the only one that thought this trailer gave waaay too much away? I enjoyed the original so seeing the same film just with different actors can't be that bad of a thing, can it? Just makes it more relatable, and really who among us can judge acting ability, sometimes it can just be a bad director or awkward lines, why is the actor always judged so personally when they're attractive and their name is everywhere, but when they are no-names, the director is the one condemned? Sorry bout the bad writing, I think I've ad too much sake (doesn't make me any less relevant[I hope])

Two thoughts

1. When an actor consistently gives poor performances, you can't blame the director. That would mean every director she works with is incompetent (which COULD also be true). If she was good, we would have noticed by now, she's had plenty of chances to prove herself.

2. If you knew what you were looking at, the trailer would give too much away. But what's really disapointing to me is the trailer certainly looks like they've remained faithful to the entire original story. I'm not a fan of the original film. The early parts where everything was blury were creepy, but once she could see the movie pretty much went down the crapper-

there was one amazing sequence/twist about 2/3rds of the way through the film. I was really hoping they'd keep this and rework much of the rest of the film- but it certainly looks like they've kept the same moronic ending the original had. I'm disapointed.

Looks like the same ending. I think she's an ok actress (actor) but I could be biased cuz I think she's hot.

I also believe she can't act. I am also tired of hearing people say she is so hot. Yeah if you like looking at my dogs *** then hell she is hot.

Now, that's not true, wordweaver! She has had many brilliant performances in films like Sin City (stripper), Into the Blue (five minute-montage of her swimming in a tiny bikini), Fantastic Four (skintight outfit), Idle Hands (strips down to her underwear), and the Dark Angel television series (tight leather pants).

See? She IS a serious actress!

uhh, it said in that synposis that she was blind since childhood, not birth. so she would know what blurry was. still, that's not gonna make this movie not suck.

I agree.

There's a TON of hot women out there. You even see 'em at work, out and about, wherever. Jessica Alba couldn't act her way out of a paper bag even if she was wearing a razor-encrusted body suit and the bag was soaked with warm water.

Hmmm....actress in a razor-encrusted body suit, in a large wet bag....I may have just stumbled upon an inspiration for "Saw 7: This Crap's Getting Real Old".

One very large problem with horror movies that come from Asia is that things in Asia don't translate the same as in America. For instance, something scarry in Japan culture is not really scarry over here. Oh how scarry we fuzed a cat with a human sole. BIG FRIKING DEAL. We have a little girl with a deamon in her head and she can spin her head around shove a crucifix up her twat take her moms head and yell lick me. Now thats scarry.

Oh I dunno...a creepy dead girl crawling out of a well seems to transcend many cultural and language barriers.

And a pale kid ghost howling like a cat is creepy....a possessed girl er...ah...using a crucifix in a way God didn't intend to was disturbing and kind of creepy, with a side order of gross, to go.

Fear is fear, and it's in the eye of the beholder, and most of the time regardless of culture. Now, it IS true that there's certain symbolism that exists in some cultures. For instance, in Japan, white is the color of mourning and death.

We also have clowns. NOTHING in Asian cinema is as scary as clowns.

Point taken.

Perhaps the perfect concept to transcend East and West would be a clown/kabuki cross-breed, clad in white, quite undead, and armed with a chainsaw.

...and a katana

...who is fond of eating hamburgers

...and sushi

...made out of his victims

It's a remake of a Hong Kong horror movie. It's not J-Horror.

She is pretty but seriously, the girl can't act.
it's kind of sad cause she does try but it's painful watching her cause she has no talent whatsoever.
all her movies flop and this one probably will too
also, american versions of japanese movies always come out stupid
the grudge 2 was a joke

No offense, but what good movie has she starred in lately?
