The Third Eye (心眼) is a 2006 film out of Hong Kong. The horror film stars Race Wong, Wong Yau Nam, Derek Tsang, and Joman Chiang.
The film is about a voyeur that lands in a Tai O hotel/motel. The hotel has a bunch of interesting characters. Among that group is also a beat cop. Although the movie uses "eye" in the name, it does not contain any supernatural elements like I was expecting. It was a straight line to the end of the film for all the characters. No real curves in the road thrown at you. Seriously, its a mind trip. The story is hard to follow and the characters are even more whacked. All but the killer has a heart of gold though.
Race Wong kinda has a psycho look the whole film. I think it was intentional. But when the attention was put on Joman Chiang as she played Ah Hua, a reality challenged adult taking care of her bed ridden father.
If you're not into supernatural horror as is common place in many Asian horror film, this is a change of pace. The horror is based in reality.
I couldn't find any YouTube clips.
