Wissenswertes

The Eye (見鬼), also known as Seeing Ghosts, is a 2002 Hong Kong–Singaporean supernatural horror film directed by the Pang brothers. The film spawned two sequels by the Pang brothers, The Eye 2 and The Eye 10. There are three remakes of this film, including Adhu, made in 2004 in Tamil, Naina made in 2005 in Hindi and The Eye, a 2008 Hollywood production starring Jessica Alba.

Production

The Eye is a co-production between Singapore's MediaCorp Raintree Pictures and Hong Kong's Applause Pictures, and was shot in Hong Kong and Thailand with a pan-Asian cast and crew, including Malaysian actress Angelica Lee, Chinese-Canadian singer Lawrence Chou, Singaporean actor Pierre Png and Thai actress Chutcha Rujinanon. The crew included Thai cinematographer Decha Seementa, and the Thai music collective Orange Music provided the score.

Danny and Oxide Pang said they were inspired to write the screenplay for The Eye by a report they had seen in a Hong Kong newspaper 13 years before, about a 16-year-old girl who had received a corneal transplant and committed suicide soon after.

Oxide Pang said in an interview: "We'd always wondered what the girl saw when she regained her eyesight finally and what actually made her want to end her life".

At the end, the scene with the accident, is based on the 1990 Bangkok gas explosion on New Petchburi Road. It killed 88 people, injured 36 people, destroyed 67 cars, and caused 215 million baht in damage.
