I stick to the original and if they can't be faithful to the elements that made the game/anime famous, they might as well drop the idea: my two scents of course.

IAWTAC. Omfg I'm so sick of Hollywood fucking up brilliant Asian horror films.

They fucking ruined "The Eye"... The original movie, which was from Hong Kong, was actually based on people's personal accounts of ghosts, but the thing is, Hollywood want to make it a thriller. I'm sorry, but according to what the people in Hong Kong say, ghosts aren't meant to be as exciting as you try to make it out to be. Turning it into a thriller is a cry for epic phail! And, when bad things are supposed to happen, it's supposed to happen because it HAS happened since:

SPOILER There WAS a giant explosion that killed dozens on Thailand traffic, according to my relatives. Best to leave it at that without having to turn the heroine into a hero who saved everyone because she's not meant to in the original.

Also, thematically, the message that was meant to be delivered in the movie has been scrapped and butchered!!! It's supposed to be about seeing the ugly things in the world while remembering the beautiful things, but in the Hollywood version, that is gone... gone...
