Synopsis

Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) has been given the gift of sight, but it comes with a horrifying price in the English-language remake of Danny and Oxide Pang's The Eye. The double corneal transplant was to open up a new world for Sydney, a concert violinist whose blindness has plagued her since childhood. With the help of Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) and sister Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney's operation and recovery seemed to be on the road to success -- until horrific images start to tear their way into her newfound vision. What's worse is that these episodes appear to foreshadow future deadly events, leading Sydney on a mission to track down the person whose eyes she has inherited and discover what kind of mystery from beyond the grave lies before her. The film is directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud, the duo behind the acclaimed 2006 French terror flick Them, and is produced by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner under their Cruise/Wagner production banner. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Posted by: from Mililani, HI on 07/02/2009"The Eye" is a horror film that is very enjoyable and simple. I had no problems with this movie at all and Jessica Alba did a great job acting. I had seen the original japanese version of the film and I have to admit that this American version is much better in my opinion. "The Eye" is a basic horror that is done well and it looks extremely good on Blu-Ray. I recommend that you pick yourself up a copy if you haven't seen it already.

Posted by: from Anchorage Ak. on 12/28/2008Without killing the plot, this was one of those that I didn't get to see in the theater, so we rented it when it came out on dvd. After which we decided to buy it on BD. We watched it again and were just blown away by the clarity, beauty, and fantastic scenes. Alba plays the character quite well, and is very believable. The differences between the dvd and BD versions is quite clear.
