31 Days of Horror – The Eye (2008)





 Sydney Wells has been blind ever since an accident took her sight at the age of 5.  Now, many years later, she undergoes a second transplant operation in the hopes that her eyesight is restored.  After the procedure, all of the tests show that it was successful; however, after her vision begins to clear, Sydney begins to see things that others do not.  Her doctors are convinced she is merely suffering from a disorder as she adapts to sight after so many years.  But Sydney isn’t convinced and begins to suspect that she is seeing people and things from the other side…

I have yet to see the original movie this was based on so this review is only on the film itself and not on the adaptation.  That being said, I found it to be a rather enjoyable movie.  I first saw this when it was released on DVD and enjoyed it then.  Watching it again today I still felt the same way. 

Directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud, The Eye stars Jessica Alba as Sydney Wells.  Alessandro Nivola and Parker Posey costar in this supernatural thriller.
