The eye
Jessica Alba plays a woman who undergoes cornea transplants in a remake of a Chinese film of the same name.
The moment she opens her eyes she starts to see things that aren’t there. These include a number of grim reapers, recently dead people, vivid images of someone else’s past premonitions, and a director and editor who aren’t sure whether their making a horror film, thriller or a ‘who dunnit?’.
There is a faint oriental air to the movie with does add a bit of mystery. This is essentially a relatively cheaply made Alba-vehicle. There is no-one else in it other than a periodically appearing sister and a doctor who you never quite get interested in as he has nothing of worth to say.
You do jump from minor shock every now and then (but then an unexpected rapid orchestral crescendo does that to most people).
