The movie
An accomplished violinist, Sydney (Jessica Alba) is beautiful, intelligent, independent, and blind. A cornea transplant enables her to recover her sight, but her joy is short-lived, as she is suddenly overwhelmed with strange visions. Are these side effects of the surgery, some kind of mental disorder, premonitions, or visions of a parallel world ? While her relatives believe she is slowly sinking into madness, she embarks on a perilous investigation... A dynamic remake of a fantastic film that was a huge hit in Hong Kong, The Eye skillfully combines psychological thriller with paranormal phenomena. The boundaries between fantasy and the supernatural, lucidity and madness, are constantly blurred, creating a truly blood-curdling, magnetic atmosphere.
