Synopsis
A blind girl gets a cornea transplant so that she would be able to see again. However, she got more than what she bargained for when she realised she could even see ghosts. And some of these ghosts are down right unfriendly. So she embarks on a journey to find the origins of her cornea and to reveal the history of the previous dead owner...

Critics' reviews
  • "The Pang brothers bring you into a surrealistically memorable ghost world of the beyond"
  • "Part supernatural thriller, part Oliver Sacks-style meditation on the neurological mysteries of perception, and part Buddhist treatise on reincarnation"
  • "Despite an overwrought finale, this stylish horror film is genuinely creepy. See it before the inevitable Hollywood remake."
  • "Although almost nothing about The Eye is surprising, the movie is nevertheless engrossing (...) It casts a spell strong enough that viewers won't want to look away."
  • "'The Eye' is a feast to behold, but it lacks substance and will leave most viewers wholly unsatisfied."
  • "Rarely has the basic nature of visual perception seemed so frightening"
  • "Genuinely scary, especially when it strays from its lame plot to orchestrate some beautifully chilling set pieces"
