THE EYE (Jian gui)-2002-A young girl gets a cornea transplant and can see for the first time in her life. However, she finds that she sees a lot more than anyone else. Namely ghosts! Pretty horrifying ones at that. Her visions are the key to a mystery involving the former owner of her newly acquired sight and she must unravel it. Lead actress Angelica Lee won the Hong Kong film festival best actress award for her performance. It was followed by two sequels and a US remake. Nicely done Asian horror from Thailand.
MY LEFT EYE SEES GHOSTS-2002-After an obnoxious, uncaring woman (Sammi Cheung) is killed in a car accident she is brought back to life by a ghost named Ken. While in the hospital recovering, she has an eye operation. Soon after that Ken returns and she can see other ghosts too. It’s basically a lighthearted romantic comedy with some serious overtones. Co-director Johnny To made THE HEROIC TRIO and THE EXECUTIONERS.
BLOODLUST!-1961-This cheap rip-off of THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME stars Wilton Graff as a mad hunter who kills with a crossbow and then makes statues out of his victims for his personal “museum”. Four young people (including future Mr. Brady Robert Reed) stumble upon his domain where they are held prisoner along with his wife (Lilyan Chauvin) and her lover (familiar TV actor Walter Brooke). Director Ralph Brooke (possibly Walter’s brother?) was second unit director on Jerry Warren’s MAN BEAST. It’s pretty stupid.
Thanks for reading!
