Blurry around the edges, but still a fine sight
The Eye (2008) I knew going into the theater that this would be a bit scary. OK, maybe traumatizing. I had a LASIK procedure done a couple of years ago, and although I wasn’t blind beforehand, I did have pretty bad eyesight. I know a bit about the trepidation – perhaps even outright terror – one feels before undergoing an operation on one’s eyeballs. I still get a little skeeved when I see a closeup of eyes, come to think of it.

Jessica Alba plays Sydney, a blind concert violinist who has a double corneal transplant, and of course things go wrong. Not with the surgery itself, but with the psychological aftermath – she sees dead people. And dead things. And undead. And so on; it looks like she’s tapped into a spiritual world, or something. No one else can see what she’s seeing, which is par for the course in movieland, but all of the demons and smoke and fire and other sfx seem extremely, utterly, real to Sydney.

Alba is excellent, showing that she has more than just two (or three) talents to show the world. Her Sydney is appealing in her vulnerability; Alba, a beautiful young woman, manages to make you feel as if her character could, indeed, live in your world: less glitzy starlet, more three-dimensional person. Of course, she’s still a knockout, and she IS a supremely talented musician, and she DOES live in a super-posh apartment in a high rise, but still. Alba shows wonderful range, from tender to fragile, without giving up any sincerity. The movie hinges on her ability to sell the audience on her character’s Everywoman (to a point) status, and I think she delivers.

Some of you may be thinking you’ve already seen this movie before, when it was called Blink. In Blink, Madeline Stowe played a young woman who lost her sight as a child (as did Sydney) and then grew up to be a talented violinist; after a new eye operation temporarily restores some sight, she sees things. Just like Sydney. Huh. Still, this isn’t a redo of Blink, it’s a remake of a Chinese film called Gin gwai. Asian films have made the rounds of Hollywood in recent years (The Ring, The Grudge, Dark Water), and although the remakes usually don’t have the subversive bite of their original counterparts, some of them hold up rather well when inundated with high-tech CGI. The Eye does use special effects, but it uses them – pardon me – to great effect; you’re not overwhelmed with attention-grabbing CGI.

The biggest debit in the movie is the love interest, Sydney’s doctor, Paul (Alessandro Nivola), who seems dull and unimportant, although his believing in and trusting Sydney is a linchpin for moving the plot. He just seems vacant and stiff, hardly a commendation of Nivola’s acting abilities. (Think of a younger Dylan McDermott.) On the other hand, a good counterbalance to Nivola is Parker Posey as Sydney’s concerned sister, who, although she doesn’t immediately buy into Sydney’s rantings, does empathize and attempt to understand a bit better than the hunky doctor.

Overall, The Eye is a tense, shudder-filled movie that manages to dress up a recycled plot with dead-on performances and evocative cinematography.

More suspense than a horror movie.
I like the movie. A decent Wensdaynight date movie. ‘The Eye’ is a horror movie, but also more of a mystery movie. After a eye transplant Jessica Able is able to see the dead. A mystery of who Jessica’a eye donor is ensues. Well directed and acted. The story’s mystery is the engine which drives the movies to its suspenseful ending. I was guessing at the ending. Is ‘The Ring’ a better movie? You bet. I still like ‘The Eye’ which is a good second feature on DVD night. A 6 or 7 out of 10. Not a Texas Chainsaw Masscaure style film. ‘The Eye’ is not a gore fest style horror movie. Take ‘The Eye’ for what it is! A mystery style horror movie.
