Gin Gwai (The Eye)
The movie starts out as a horror film, but the scares are mostly scattershot. Afterwards, the film transforms into a romance, drama, and mystery. It works much more as a tragic thriller because it is very heart-rending, engrossing, and suspenseful. Recommended for Asian cinema connoisseurs.
The scene in the elevator is a tough contender for scariest movie scene I've ever seen...wow, that was intense.
7/10
