* FirstInstallmentWins: The first film is widely considered to be superior to the sequels. Some people aren't even aware that the last two sequels exist.



* {{Sequelitis}}: Many feel that ''The Eye 10'' and ''The Child's Eye'' are inferior to the first two films.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming - Several Mun/Wah moments ([[spoiler:especially the last scene]]), as well as pretty much all of the scenes between Mun and Ying Ying.
** The scene in which Mun is able to stare at herself in the mirror for the first time since she was a child very much induces the smiles and warm fuzzies. [[spoiler:Of course, this scene takes on a much different significance when TheReveal comes about...]]



* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The [[FaceRevealingTurn elevator scene]] from the first movie is this, and is widely considered to be the most frightening moment in the entire film. The elevator scene from the second movie also counts.
** "Why are you sitting in my chair?"
** The old woman in the hospital. Eek.
** The scene in the second movie when Joey suddenly turns around and sees the screaming ghost standing there for a split second.
** Those two ghosts [[spoiler:plummeting off the roof]] in the second movie.
** There is something deeply unsettling about Mun/Sydney's [[spoiler:realization that the face she sees in the mirror isn't hers.]] Could also double as ParanoiaFuel.



* TearJerker: TheReveal that [[spoiler:Ying Ying has died]]. Her funeral, too.
** The scene in which [[spoiler:Ling's spirit]] is finally put to rest.
** Not to mention the aftermath of [[spoiler: the enormous gas tanker explosion]]. The sight of [[spoiler:all those poor, burnt corpses]] is incredibly haunting and heartbreaking.
** Mun's scene with [[spoiler:Ying Ying, shortly after she's just has chemotherapy]], is utterly heart-rending, especially on a repeat viewing, when one takes into account that it's the last time they ever speak - when [[spoiler:Ying Ying]] is still alive, anyway. They never get to [[spoiler:play together outside of the hospital]], after all...

* ParanoiaFuel: The idea that there are ghosts ''everywhere'' and most of us can't even see them. That elevator you're riding? There's a disfigured old man in the corner just waiting to sneak up on you. That calligraphy class you're taking? You're sitting in some chick's seat, and she isn't happy about it.
