I wonder why the original is always better. Asian movies always excelled in terms of horror movies
I don't know about always, but I mostly agree.
Correct
I mostly agree but in this case American one has better acting and nore realistic and not as boring . Even when she took the eye mask off it's much more realistic then the Asian one . The Asian one looked as if she only had it on for a flat minute and opened her eyes rather quick
@@deborahthompson6248 the only thing good about the American version was drop dead gorgeous talented actress Jessica...
the American version's ending was pretty shitty
@@TAJREENTABASSUM your opinion you have the right too. I honestly don't see her as pretty . She isn't that pretty. Yes the ending sucked , but can't really deny that a lot of scenes felt realistic . I take better acting any day .
4:02 the transition between the two rooms was waaaaaaaaaaay more impressive in the original
that actually baffled me i had to rewind at least 4 times...awesome
I like both versions. But to me honestly, colors of Asian horror movies are creepier than Wester horror movies. They create the dark, curious and unsatisfied atmosphere. The original one's poster is scary. But in Western version, it looks like a fantasy movie.
I prefer the original but tbh, I don't think it has aged that well 😬
I agree, I watched it again recently and I felt that the main actress lacked real emotions. Especially when she was crying I wasn't convinced. But I still liked the atmosphere and the ending.
The fact that you're able to hear ghosts with new eyes is kind of funny.
Kinda like u can taste the food by just smelling it lmfao
I think when you can see them you will be able to hear them also.
@@alooosh_vip Why? She had an eye transplant, not an ear transplant. Hearing them makes no sense in this film.
When you lose a sense, You gain a new sense, DUH
@@Antny.25 That makes very little sense.
6 reasons why the original is better:
1. In the hospital when she sees the ghosts of the old lady and her visitor across the room, the remake feels the need to add "I see something". Why? In case the viewer is blind and hasn't received their cornea transplant yet? It cuts the underlying tension.
2. The report card kid in the hallway is initially shown with no head area visible in the original. This unsettles the viewer more.
3. The room changing is more eery in transition and colour in the original. The remake is less subtle, therefore not working as well.
4. The shadow on the floor in the room changing scene is very creepy in the original. The remake didn't care for it.
5. The calligraphy/restaurant scenes... seriously? The ghost and its movement are frightening in the original. In the remake it just looks like a pissed off banned customer who is grumpy about other people being able to eat there.
6. The old man in the elevator is far more creepy in the original. This is an example of how to use a filter to good effect, not just because that's what supposedly makes a scene creepier. In the original, its far scarier for him to suddenly be standing in her elevator after she saw him on the CCTV in the other one, as opposed to bashing through the metal in the remake. Plus the CCTV footage being of lower quality in the original adds to the eeriness of the scene.
Some of the remake is good in this video, it's not all worse. But it does fall short, and is not as good as the original. The problem with Hollywood remakes of Asian movies is that they don't build unease in the viewer as well as the originals do, because they don't get the creepiness. And at times they overstate.
The remake fell short in that the use of CGI was noticeable in all of their shots, including the shadow people, room changing sequence, and the mirror scene, where the original only noticeable CGI was the ignition scene before the explosion in the street.
Plus the Jessica Alba version is a ripoffof the original version.
LOL at no.5, I agree so much. The American remake ghost was basically a Karen HAHAHAHA
There is crucial one you missed:the shadow people in Chinese version are just neutral characters,they aren't evil,they just doing their job to send deads away from the world,but in Hollywood they made them like bad devils from hell or sumthing,this is the ideal that against Chinese culture,because we don't see afterworld passengers evil or satanic,they are just doing their job that's all
Why do all American movies have a green or blue colour overlay??? It isn't Little Mermaid or Shrek.
Because they think fog will make the film atmospheric but they use it so wrong
The original eye's root is deep in Daoism it can't be replaced by "some village girl sees ghost" story.
No one asked
@@aspenbennett9041 Nobody asked for your opinion either... They're commenting about the differences in the movies on a video explicitly made to compare them. All you're doing is being a jerk because you prefer one over the other. Your opinion isn't the only one that matters.
@@Otakugatothequeen so don’t read my comments tf
@@aspenbennett9041 Take your own advice... Don't read the comments. Problem solved. Have a nice day.
that's cool
Omg the original The Eye scared the shit outta me when i was a kid. I watched the one with Shu Qi in it.
In the train scene in Gin Gwai, if you look at the window at the right side behind the two characters, you will see the reflection of a REAL ghost.

Original is better
Oh my GOD! Thank you so much for this! I’ve been searching for this movie for a very long time because I’ve forgotten the name! Thank you!
The original is much better.
The original will always be better than the stupid American ripoff, because the American version is plagiarized from the original Chinese version.
The original is better because of the storyline, and the effects but with regards to the acting of the main character, I would say the remake with Jessica Alba is far good. She really conveyed the fear and emotion compared to the original actress..
A tale of two sisters vs The uninvited 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh I saw he make the comparison between this two movies !!
I prefer the Tale of Two Sisters because it has a scary but beautiful vibe meanwhile the Uninvited feels like your average cliche movie
American Opportunity In the end, money must come before the truth.
The eye: never saw it
The 3rd eye: decent, nothing great
i liked the remake better
Make more horror movies comparison
will do ;)
@@alexanderpalm6407 inside 2007 vs inside 2016 please
Those who said the original didn’t age well, I politely disagreed. The remake fell short in that the use of CGI was noticeable in all of their shots, including the shadow people, room changing sequence, and the mirror scene, where the original only noticeable CGI was the ignition scene before the explosion in the street. In comparison, the awful CGI really distracts and is outdated. Also, the original slow panning to reveal the horror is a better effect than whiplashing the camera around like an amateur with loud music to punctuate the scene in the remake is like a kid just got his camera.
ไม่มีฉาก ผีเลียตู้กระจกในฉากร้านกับข้าวเหรอครับ
saw the original recently and it was blring. I think the story was super good but the scared didn’t age well. The U.S. one i loved as a kid and tho rewatching it mad eme doubt of my taste, it did sort of age well.
Lol my favorite remake to hate honestly I give most of them a chance unlike others who come here to bash ever American remake but this one bothered me most for some reason I really remember disliking it maybe because the original felt creepy af to me
The most offensive one has to be either pulse or one missed call.
Legend
Sigaw vs. The Echo
Is this a Filipino movie? Someone made a hollywood remake of a Filipino movie?
@@ToonMageChannel yes
The remake is much better❤️
No, it is not, the remake is a ripoff of the original, and they deserve to be executed for copying the plot of the movie, that remake of this film is the worst American ripoff movie to exist.
I agree!
@@daxtonhincher32902 version is the same
I don't understand why the original is better, the remake is more more better.
Western horror movie always love green colour that make it looks not real.
Wow I had no clue this was the original film. I love this movie.
There's indian version called Naina
@Dulanja Dayapriya I've seen it. Not as good as the original, but better than the American one.
No I doubt
Better than the american remake
Naina was better than the American remake only because it was so bad that it’s hilariously bad that it is good. The actress over act and some of the filming decisions, although it is an exact clone of the original, were just hilarious.
The eye 2008 Ofc
I hate how the remake made the shadows seem like demons or evil monsters making monster noises, like why??? Wtf?? The story never hinted at these things being evil or even interactable with the main character, they were always just there, not to scare her either, just because they were like manifestations of the angel of death coming to the people, like fate agents too because like the village girl and Mun, neither of them could change the fate of those that were supposed to die in the events that transpired separately, but it was more like a double edge sword for them, more for Mun, since we never saw the village girl see loved ones who died, but Mun was able to see Yin Yin right during her passing away.
I also hate how the remake botched a very beautiful and sad, but touching scene when Yin Yin died, the original score and how the scene went was an actual happy goodbye from her to Mun and she left her a cheerful message about the world too. The remake just HAD TO like Hollywood and America always do with horror movies, made it solely an overacted scary scene using scary music, unnecessary mystery and the ruining of the shadow of death representing an exit for Yin Yin, but in the remake it was like an evil spirit taking the girl away and even like threatening the main character. So annoying. And of course...America needs to have the heroic ending.
LOLOLOL the scene in the 2008 version where she gets attacked by Karen- uh I mean, the ghost is fucking hilarious!
22nya bagus ko filmnya
Para mí gusto la versión americana fue pesima, me quedo sin duda con la original y en especial ufffff la versión 2 es brutal! Me sigue dando terrooooor!!
I knew I wasn't tripping when I thought I saw 2 different movies that have almost the same story.
Can't beat the original
I actually enjoy this remake... I love Jessica Alba
Me too
American remakes are rubbish, they lack originality and to bring American audiences into the theater they need Asian films, how pathetic!
Which country is the original from?
Hong kong
It's a Hong Kong-Singapore joint venture.
@@EmiliaCureWonderful It's a Hong Kong-Singapore joint venture.
@@teemoonduty4920 ok
Announcer: And in the 2002 corner we see a serious actress who was awarded multiple awards for this movie, even though it was just her 4th movie. And in the 2008 corner we see the jackass actress who has starred in such p.o.s stinkers like Goodluck Chuck, the Grudge remake, The Love Guru, Honey and Awake. And was one the reasons why the Fantastic Four movies tanked.
ต้นฉบับคือหนังไทยครับ
ใช่หรอครับ
ต้นฉบับไม่ใช่หนังไทยค่ะ เคยจำผิดเหมือนกัน เพราะตอนท้ายของหนังเฉลยว่าคนที่บริจาคดวงตาให้นางเอกคือคนไทยค่ะ เลยมีฉากในไทยด้วย ต่อมาทำร่วมกับไทยตอนภาค3 (ชื่อ The eye 10)
ต้นฉบับคือหนังจีน ตัวเอกคือคนจีน เเค่นางเอกได้ดวงตามาจากคนไทย
I received on ig the recomendation of the 2008 but just discoveted it was a remake and i was wondering what to watch. Maybe i should watch the og abd then the newest one.
so,instead of going to thailand,they went to mexico.still going south.yeah,still logic
7:20 why is guy urinating in the elevator corner?
Jessica Alba es muy x y no transmite nada
Remake i want
The 2008 version is a ripoff of the Chinese version.
Remake no copy
i thought that the eye original is a japanese movie
Hong Kong
My fav one
Hollywood went through a phase where they made horrible remakes of Japanese horror movies. Examples - The Eye, Premonition,and Dark Water
The Grudge, Rings
The Eye wasn’t Japanese. But I agree with you. Whatever happened to originally?
@@JoWalkabout was it Chinese?
@@rodneyarrington1533 The Eye (2002) is Hong Kong-Singaporean horror film directed by the Pang brothers from Thailand.
@@Mangolite the Pang brothers are from Hong Kong. it's just that their most well-known films are (partially) shot and/or produced in Thailand.
I actually prefer the remake tbh
The remake is way better 💯
No, it is not, the remake is a ripoff of the original, and they deserve to be executed for copying the plot of the movie, that remake of this film is the worst American ripoff movies to exist.
