The Eye 2 put me to sleep, but this one kept me up. Obviously there is some confusion as to why this one is called the Eye 10, since there is only 2 other Eye films. Its called the Eye 10 because in the movie, there is a book titled 10 ways to see ghosts, or something like that.

I really liked this movie, it had a couple spots that gave you the willies, but mostly, it was funny. I dont know if the humor was intentional or not, but it was definitly there. From when the kids are trying to see ghosts by tapping on soup bowls on the street late at night and a bunch show up, then one of the kids (Tak) breaks a piece off his bowl and the ghosts just stare at him. finally he starts tapping again and the ghosts continue their gapped jawed float down the street towards the bowls, then he breaks his bowl in half and the ghosts stop and stare at him again. finally you hear tapping and see Tak tapping his chopsticks against his teeth to make the ghosts continue floating. That was one of the first really funny parts. But theres also a breakdancing showdown between a some punks and Tak, who is being possessed by a basketball playing ghost.Another scene has Tak running up the stairs in the apartment like the girl in the first film, and like her, he see's the kid looking for his report card(i dont remember if the girl helps the kid but...) Tak gives the kid a fast kick to the face and runs away. Plus theres a scene where we're informed that bad breath keeps ghosts away, but a good Toot will knock em out cold.

I watched this movie thinking that it was going to be as freaky as the first two. I definately was not expecting all the humour in it.

But... it was a good laugh. I especially liked the chopsticks with the mouth and the kick the kid part.

I really loved this film too. Man, I thought it was so much fun and just great. While it's not as good as the first two it is better than most horror films that hollywood makes

I Liked the part where they are about to enter the limbo world and the guy goes "I can't go to sleep" and the girl goes "well, let me help you" and punches him out cold. LOL!!

this film is definitely a funny one, plus a little horror, and the reason its name is The Eye 10 is because it means 10 way to see ghost, and yes, all you said is where i felt that funy too, actually is the boy that looking for his report card a human or a ghost?

Yeah, I was surprised to see all of the hate for this movie. I loved the first one, was bored to sleep by the second, but this one just killed me. The humor in it is very good (loved the breakdance scene), and there are some genuinely creepy moments as well. Plus, now I know how to knock out ghosts! :D

I think the biggest problem people had is the wrong expectations; if they watch this expecting it to be like the first movie, they will be disappointed. If they had gone into it knowing it wasn't as serious, I believe they would have enjoyed it more...

This film was hillarious!

I loved the first one, I think the second deserves another viewing but I thought this one was so funny! Very pleasantly suprised by it!

While it's not a great film, I too just plain liked it. It's like a nerd you have nothing against - you won't hang out much, but you won't have it put down or belittled.
