When watching a suspenseful movie through the eyes of someone else, it’s uncertain what’s going to happen, especially when it involves frightful, dead things.
In the thriller, The Eye, Sidney Wells, played by Jessica Alba, is an accomplished violinist who has been blind since the age of five and desperately wants to see like everyone else.
When she became a young adult, she had a corneal eye transplant which, at first, was considered a success.
After the surgery, as Wells adjusts to her new vision, she sees images that are not physically there such as dead people and other things from the supernatural world.
Soon, the images become too unbearable so she secludes herself from her normal life until Wells realizes that someone or something is trying to send her a message.

look realistic.
Directors David Moreau and Xavier Palud both worked together in their previous movie, Ils (released in the U.S. under the title Them in 2006), which is also a scary film but is based in France.
Moreau and Palud are considered new directors, The Eye being Palud’s second and Xavier’s third film directing.
Screenwriter Sebastian Gutierrez seems to have a fascination for the supernatural and shows it through his other screenplays of major motion pictures like Gothika, The Rise and Snakes on a Plane.
Moreau, Palud and Gutierrez deliver a movie that is jam-packed with drama, thrills, mystery, horror and explosions.
