What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Zane Henry  Don't bother with this one. | 5 |  |
| Die Burger Jeanne Calitz | 10 |  |
| Cape Times Michael Philips | 5 | |
| The Citizen Bruce Dennill If this same movie was made with less pretty leads and more suggestion than special effects, it would etch itself in your unconscious, probably unwelcomed. In this incarnation, though, it's all too repetitive and predictable, and the plot holes are big enough to drive everyone's limousines through. | 10 | |
| Sunday Times Barry Ronge | 10 | |
| 24.com Natalie Sineke When a film's trailer is more entertaining than the movie itself, you know it's made for DVD. And this is simply a B-grade rip-off of a Chinese masterpiece. | 5 | |
| BBC Neil Smith Is she seeing dead people? Or could these shadowy spectres be warning of some disaster in the making? You'll be hard pressed to care. | 5 | |
| eye Weekly Adam Nayman The Eye is good-looking (like the original) and not offensively dumb (like 80 per cent of the Asian horror remakes crowding screens over the last half-decade) but a lack of of crappiness doesn’t equal real quality. | 5 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Once again, we are faced with a movie featuring an interesting premise and solid set-up that falls apart when it comes to the climax and conclusion. | 10 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs The Eye is long on subjective camerawork, short on intelligent dialogue | 4 | |
| Metacritic.com 13 critics | 7 | |
| Rottentomatoes critics 68 critics | 8 | |
| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Another tedious remake of an Asian horror film. | 4 | |
