The Eye SE ?
I've read lots of positive things about "The Eye" and am tempted to purchase it, but I see there is an SE and a bare bones version.
Question: does anyone know what is on the SE, and where can I get this thing cheap? I was hoping (based on another thread) to get it at CDWOW, but they don't seem to carry it any longer!
Any help much appreciated!

DVD Talk Special Edition
I think there is a region 1 release coming in October. I know i'm going to see it at a local theater at an Asianfest there having near me. So i'm guessing its coming out after a limited release.

It was playing in NYC in July while I was there, but I didn't get a chance to see it. I got the HK R0 ntsc version from us.yesasia.com and it wasn't quite what I expected. I liked it, but I wish I could've rented it first. But it was pretty cheap!

I think there are two "Special Edition" releases. One from Hong Kong, and one from Korea. DON'T get the Korean one because the subtitles are out-of-synch and really ruin the movie (at least it did for me).

Are the Subs on the Korean version out of synch by a lot? Is it player dependant?

Just ordered the regular (non SE) Hong Kong version from cdwow for 7.99 gbp shipped! It keeps showing up and disappearing, so be vigilant.

I have the U.K. edition of THE EYE, which plays as a region zero (even though it is listed as region 2 - it's DEFINITELY not a bootleg). The cover has a 3D look to it. Extras include The Making of The Eye, Special Effects documentary, Production Team Info and a theatrical trailer. Very nice edition! $28.00. Picked it up this past April at the Chiller Theatre convention in NJ. Not sure what the U.S. edition from Palm Pictures will contain.....
