The Eye 3: Infinity (2005)

hyped garbage

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The Eye 3 is really a bit of a mixed bag because while more of the creep factor has returned (something the second movie didn't really have so much of), the story is pretty lame...the worst of the three films actually as the previous two had good, enjoyable stories supporting them. Plus this time it's as if the Pang Brothers tried to throw a bit of comedy into the mix - something the previous two definitely didn't have - but it never really worked. In fact, the funny moments in The Eye 3 turned out to be just cheesy more than anything (the break-dancing scene being the main one).It kind of ends up being a bit all over the place in part with it going from serious to comedic then back to being serious again, and even some of the more serious moments drew a bit of a chuckle even though I don't think they were supposed to be funny.The Eye 3 is definitely not on the same level as the first film (which was a given really as it would have been some film to reach that level), and is more on par with the second with some aspects being better than that one and vice versa...the story and the creepy moments being the main ones. The second had a much better story, but this one has more creepy moments. One thing that is good about this installment, though, is that it has tie-in's with the previous two movies i.e. the wee "report card" boy and the elevator scene, so in a way this one is a bit more of a sequel than what the second one was.Anyway, the paper thin plot and the comedy scenes just ruined it for me and if it was more serious like the previous two, I may have enjoyed it better than what I did.Overall, it's not too bad, but it's just another one of those Asian horror films that's really just a bit of a "time filler" more than anything else. If you've seen the previous movies, then I'd say give this one a go, but other than that I'd leave it alone.

The Eye was great movie and The Eye 2 was still a good movie but this movie was just planing silly not scary or creepy at all.You will need to turn your brain of too watch this movie.Number of teens go on trip and they tells each other Ghost stories until one of boys mention about the last two women in the last two movies (We see flashback The eye and the eye 2, that is the only part that is connect to other two movies).That boys show them book which say 10 ways to see ghost, soon they play that came and some of the ways did sound interesting but what came up was absolutely ridiculous.I found this too funny (I wanted to be scared not to be laughing at this movie) You avoid this movie if you can. I Going to give this 3 out of 10 the reason for that is I liked someone of the ways the books said you can see Ghost.

I thought that The Eye 3 was quite a good horror movie Directed by the Pang brothers It starts in Thailand, Chongkwai is having a visit from his friends, Ted and his cousin May and Kofei and his girlfriend April from Hong Kong. While they are on a tour they see an accident on the road, so they go back to Chongkwai's home and tell ghost stories. Chongkwai shows them a book with ten ways on how to see spirits, then Kofei vanishes, April tries to find him, Ted and May go back to Hong Kong. But the spirits do not leave them and still follows them wherever they go. I did not think that this was as good as the first two Eye films.

Chongkwai(Ray MacDonald) purchases a "cursed" book which depicts various methods of seeing and encountering ghosts from the spiritual world. He invites a group of friends from Hong Kong to his home in Thailand and they decide to see if the book can actually perform the tasks it represents. In doing so, one of the group, Kofei(Yu Gu)comes up missing during their forest hide-n-seek game using a cat thanks in part to a ghost who "masks" him from them. Haunted by his disappearance, upon returning to Hong Kong, May(Kate Yeung) & Teddy(Bo-lin Chen)begin experiencing ghostly apparitions popping up throughout the city with a grief-stricken April(Isabelle Leong)making a drastic decision in order to find Kofei, for whom she believes is dead. May & Teddy will accept a dangerous mission, entering the spirit world as if dead(..another method in the book is sleeping while dressed in burial clothes)to find Kofei..and April who has become missing as well.The Pang Bros take the franchise into a completely different direction, sacrificing some genuine scares, adopting an almost entirely light-hearted approach to those scary spirits who walk amongst the living. Even the title opening credits are played out in a colorfully jokey manner. But, when the gang play around with the spiritual world, the tone shifts somewhat, but the Pang Brothers always implement some tongue-in-cheek gag that removes the sheer horror of the situation. An example being when Teddy is temporarily taken over by a spirit who has him break-dancing in a contest with a couple of clowns. It's hard to really be scared of an umbrella floating in the air, although May certainly is terrified. Who would've ever thought a basketball could be used as a scare device? And, most of the book's methods of contacting the spirit world are rather silly such as tapping on bowls at Midnight with chopsticks awaiting hungry spirits, or looking between your legs for a spirit. I did love this one developed sub-plot regarding a dead girl who had no idea she was deceased, discovering this only after finding her corpse video-recorded at a crime scene thanks to Teddy's morbid voyeurism;she even tries to stop the camcorder with her hand going through the object. The special effects are impressive. I thought the spirits were creepy enough when they expose themselves. I found the twist at the end regarding May and Teddy's fate rather amusing and it fits in with the overall mood of this film. If you are looking for an Asian terror tale, look elsewhere, because The Bros Pang just weren't in the mood this time around. I think the comedic tone will repel some viewers because the cover of the DVD I rented promised something terrifying. But, to be honest, the first two films were full of such despair and angst, it was refreshing to see the third film a bit more cheerful and playful.
