Child's Eye...haix

To watch a horror (spiritual-theme) movie is like an expansion to the third dimension into something unknown yet. It is something which can possibly be explained by science or to some extent, maybe not entirely. Perhaps, it is a completely different realm which can only be experienced when you are in it.
eg: When you are dead and your soul leaves your body and I supposed that's when you can be in that third dimension. LOL...

Yea, many thought it's a waste of good money to buy a ticket to a horror show just to get yourself spooked. I don't know but I am watching all interesting movies regardless of genre and it really is entertaining to watch creativity being molded into graphical reality. However, I must say that the Child's Eye by Pang's brothers is nothing to be compared to their very first break-through of The Eye. I love The Eye (as much as I love The Shutter) for its originality and storyline.

The plots of their movies go down hill after The Eye. I watched most of their creations and felt truly disappointed with all except The Eye and Re-cycle.

The Eye 2 and The Eye 10 are bad, seriously. I watched though because I was very impressed with The Eye and I thought they are the Master in making original eastern-infused horror movie. I guess they are having a hiatus?

The Eye was really good after years of watching lousy horror movie with no storyline while Re-cycle carries a really good message in it; a rather sad one though. Anyways, everything has got a expiry date and will then eventually be forgotten and re-cycled once the due date is passed. I am still waiting to be proven wrong.
And of course, there's another moral to the movie; something regarding abortion. Oh well, it's 4 years back and so I don't quite remember that part-- for all I remember, it's sad.

So, back to the Child's Eye, I was expecting something more but however, with that said, I was still frightened by the sudden sound of the soundtrack as well as that camera-plunge-movements. It has got a weak script but at several camera angles, it does the trick in frightening you.

In this, I see a different morale from Gecko.
Gecko: To kill smaller animals is inhumane.
Bunny: (diverts) To kill during pregnancy is a definite no-no and there are so much that a pregnant woman should avoid.

(It is inhumane and unethical to use smaller animals in the name of greater good in science but then again, sometimes, it is inevitable. Cell culture may present a good model for experimental purposes but then again, there are various factors to it that may lead to inaccuracies. As to compensate such inaccuracies, an animal model is used as a confirmation to the uncertainties found in experiments using cell culture.
Both models has to go in parallel for better understanding of a concept yet to be ascertained as a fact.
Okay, whatever it is...sometimes, it just has to be done on the basis of logical reasons.)

Besides, as the same goes for most horror movies, the main morale is that one should not harbor grudge; because it is like an evil seed. Grudge towards a certain event or person will eventually grow into a tree of hatred that grips tightly to one's soul to an extent that leads oneself towards self-destruction as well as creating inconvenience to others.

As to conclude, I would say that The Child's Eye is one movie to go for if you wanted a good scare from the soundtrack. The storyline is weak and somehow, in the end; logics are erased from the movie (because you will find that two humans got transported between two places and you'll have no idea how that happened as no clues were offered beforehand. One can assumed that they may be possessed to walk back to the hotel). The ending isn't conclusive but I made an assumption that an accident happened and possibly caused by unrest spirits from the haunted hotel.

By the way, Do Not go for the 3D version. It makes no difference, really.

It has been such a long time since I last stayed up late, listening to online radio and relaxing to the silence of the night. FM98.8 is playing good ones tonight :)
