The Eye (2008) 8/10

Starring : Jessica Alba, Alessandro Nivola, Parker Posey, Fernanda Romero, Rachel Ticotin
Director : David Moreau & Xavier Palud
Running Time : 95 mins

Sydney Wells (Alba) undergoes drastic surgery to regain her sight, only to discover that her new eyes enable her to see things that no-one else can, including ghosts and past events, but when she finds out the truth about what she is seeing, Sydney becomes less sure if this new ability is a gift or a curse.

I thought that this remake was actually pretty good – having not seen the Japanese original it’s hard for me to give any sort of comparison, but I didn’t find this to be terrible in any way, although many people seem to think it was awful. Granted Alba was a little flat in the lead role, but there was still enough subdues horror and action to keep this as entertaining as possible, although the ending felt a little rushed.
