The Eye 10 (Chinese title Gin Gwai 10), or The Eye Infinity, is a 2005 Thai-Hong Kong horror film by the Pang Brothers.

Though the numeral given in the title is 10, this is not an indicator of chronology. The third in a series by the Pang Brothers, the film takes place after the events of The Eye and The Eye 2, though probably not much further in time. It chronicles the tale of five teenagers who read from a book titled The Ten Encounters, which details 10 different methods for seeing the dead. Hence, the 10 in the title.

[edit] The Ten Encounters

The ten methods for viewing the dead as described in The Ten Encounters are as follows:

  1. A corneal transplant from a donor who is psychic (as seen in The Eye)
  2. Attempting to commit suicide while pregnant (as seen in The Eye 2).
  3. Playing the Spirit Glass game (similar to Western Ouija boards).
  4. Tapping chopsticks on an empty bowl at an intersection to attract hungry spirits.
  5. Playing hide and seek at midnight while holding a black cat.
  6. Rubbing the dirt from a grave around your eyes.
  7. Opening an umbrella while indoors.
  8. Brushing your hair at midnight while staring into a mirror.
  9. Bending over and looking between your legs (called the "Peek-a-stoop" in the film).
  10. Dressing up in "used" funeral clothes whilst sleeping to fool the dead into believing you are one of them. (The film is not clear on how one is supposed to obtain used funeral clothes, but this could be a translation error.)
