Review of The Eye

A blind woman gets an eye transplants with some very undesired side effects in this creepy little Ping Thai film. What it lacks in originality, it more than makes up with a taunt suspenseful and downbeat atmosphere. Angelica Lee is superb as Mun, the blind girl who now sees dead people (Renée Zellweger will simply pale in comparison when the inevitable Hollywood remake arrives), the tale moves at a brisk pace, and it makes for very good viewing on one of the late nights in October. And while it may be overrated, it is so by only a tad.

My Grade: B-

Lion's Gate DVD Extras: A 15 minute Making of; U.S. TV spot & Theatrical Trailer; and Trailers for "the Housekeeper", the Director's Label & "Morvern Callar"
