Synopsis:

Joey recovers from an overdose of sleeping pills after having her stomach pumped. It was a close call; she had visions of dead people accompanying her during her darkest minutes. But just when she looks forward to a brand new life, she discovers that she is pregnant. Being tortured by the thought of an abortion, Joey finds herself becoming delusional and emotionally unstable.

She is frequently threatened by the sudden presence of strangers, and also feels stalked by a mysterious woman. The stalker actually confronts her on one occasion; making eye contact with her on a train platform, then, throwing herself at a running train! Joey breaks down at the sight of the suicide, only to discover later that "nobody" is found on the track.

Review by Anonymous:

Typical Pang Brothers fare: inventive camerawork, thoughtful sound design, well constructed scenes, a few jolts, and a story line that mixes fantasy, flashbacks, hallucinations, and dreams. There is no reason for this film to be called EYE 2 except for capitalizing on the success of the original. Shu Qi nails her part. She is beautiful and convincing with 20/20 vision but she is messing around with a married guy causing his wife to commit suicide (she doesn't die right), comb her hair over her face like a good asian horror girl should so she can effectively haunt the nasty mistress who is pregnant with the cheating husband's child. Good stuff.
