THE EYE is a supernatural thriller which has
redefined fear for Western audiences by offering a glimpse into
Eastern rituals and attitudes surrounding death. At the age of two,
Mun (Lee Sim-Je) went blind. It's eighteen years later and a new and
risky corneal transplant operation restores her vision, but she
now sees mysterious black-clad figures who seem to foreshadow
sudden deaths, and horribly disfigured denizens of another side haunt
her everyday existence. It seems that Mun has inherited Ling's fate
and the misery that comes with the ability to see more than one
wants to see. A box office smash across Asia, Hollywood has come
calling in the form of Cruise/Wagner Productions, which recently
acquired English language remake rights to the film. The film is
directed by the Pang Brothers, Oxide and Danny.
