I watched MY LEFT EYE SEES GHOSTS (2002, original title Ngo joh ngan gin do gwai) expecting a supernatural horror in the vein of the film that obviously inspired it, THE EYE, but it's a different beast entirely. This is much more in the way of a romantic comedy that just so happens to have a female protagonist who ends up seeing restless ghosts after a car accident. It's surprisingly light-hearted given the subject matter and struggles a little with an unlikeable protagonist, although as it develops it becomes more interesting as a exploration of grief and the afterlife.
Despite the presence of lots of ghosts and some FX in the cast, the fantastic elements here seem geared towards the gross-out rather than frightening. Lau Ching Wan's spirit occasionally turns into a CGI 'Crazy Frog' lookalike while an overweight ghost wants to be reincarnated in Ethiopia so she can be thin! I did find the plot interesting to a degree as it's told from a Buddhist perspective, with the ghosts wandering around until they go to 'Temple Junction' to await reincarnation into a newborn baby, but a horror film it certainly isn't and the stylistics have dated a little since release.
