The Eye (5/8) Movie CLIP - Have You Seen My Report Card? (2008) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Sydney (Jessica Alba) is confronted by threatening ghosts on the way up to her apartment.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) has been given the gift of sight, but it comes with a horrifying price in the English-language remake of Danny and Oxide Pang's The Eye. The double corneal transplant was to open up a new world for Sydney, a concert violinist whose blindness has plagued her since childhood. With the help of Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) and sister Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney's operation and recovery seemed to be on the road to success -- until horrific images start to tear their way into her newfound vision. What's worse is that these episodes appear to foreshadow future deadly events, leading Sydney on a mission to track down the person whose eyes she has inherited and discover what kind of mystery from beyond the grave lies before her. The film is directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud, the duo behind the acclaimed 2006 French terror flick Them, and is produced by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner under their Cruise/Wagner production banner.

HIT US UP:

[sstruks]

Jessica Alba is too precious I don't even think ghosts want to hurt her lol

[aesketches]

When you're a ghost, but you're Asian so you have to worry about your grades.

[feukka]

I love how he asks a second time before she has time to answer him lol.

[kartumunity]

Getting stuck in the elevator is dangerous, but with a ghost...I think I'm just gonna go for a stairs

[emmaloctober]

Aw come on, the tense silence of the original was part of what made this scene so scary

[KiraVu]

The asian was better because it was a silent scene, this added frickin’ loud music which already ruined the atmosphere

[ebparty]

Geez that Asian kid really cares about his grades...

[TheRealGunfish]

"I saw it.. you oughta be ashamed of yourself."

[somebitch]

you wanna know something more scary than this ?!!
being late on your work because of this slow elevator

[daniellelawman]

The kid obviously killed himself. Goes to show you how bad the parents must have been for him to be so afraid of giving them his bad report card, he thought it was better to take what he thought was the easier road and killed himself rather than face their punishment. 😥

[averie]

Everybody: scared about the kid saying “have you seen my report card”

Me: shut up kid you failed
NOW LEAVE!!

[phaethonprime]

Damn, they really messed this scene up. Elevator part is probably half the length of the original, all tension removed from it as we don't see the numbers taking an eternity to climb and she's talking through all of it. The horrifying part with the kid was supposed to be how she sees him kill himself, not that he turns into Jason and chases her down the hall. Just another classic butchered by Hollywood.

[richardwu]

This version cannot make the terrific atmosphere gradually, and too short

[lucifersam]

It's impressive how the US always managed to take out all the scary out of an asian movie remake. (comments edited to replace "japanese" by "asian". My point remains, but I deserve the shame)

[june]

The original was better. It built tension way more and having her whisper "It's not real" for 5 minutes was like.... y'know redundant. We already know what she's trying to tell herself. We don't need her to say it. It's like media thinks the western audience has no brain, and must be told literally everything straightforward. Also the weird sunken-in head guy was scarier than the gored guy in this version. It was less predictable. This is what I can't stand about Western horror movies: they tell you everything when the point of horror is the fear of the unknown.

[fbi]

The scary part is when you see his toe nails🤮🤢

[watchensee]

I'm guessing in both the original version, and in this version....This ghost is someone who died in the elevator?

[sandernielsen]

I don't know what is worse that they tried to remake it in the u.s with someone who's clearily not a buddist, or that the director was totally okey with that Alba was running her mouth rather then using body language like Angelica Lee did so perfectly or that they just copied and pasted from the original film.

[kylemiller]

Omfg the tension, the build up, the scare factor is so ridiculously high 😱

[EasternClipss]

it would hurt a lot to do that but, i would much rather take out the eye instead of just suffering this
