The Eye (2002)  October 17, 2003 at 7:00 and 10:00pm in 26-100 and October 19, 2003 at 7:00pm in 26-100. "It casts a spell strong enough that viewers won't want to look away." "The overall visual imagery is terrifically effective, unsettling and eerie,
yet darkly beautiful." Spooky and scary, this stylish thriller from Hong Kong features utterly convincing acting, a visual style that rivals the eeriest of thrillers, and editing designed for maximum effect. Mun has been blind since she was two, but a cornea transplant will allow this girl, now twenty years old, to regain her sight. However, her new eyes are unmistakably flawed in a most disturbing way. When she looks in the mirror, she sees someone else's face. She sees other things too, which nobody else can detect, and the only person who believes her is a little girl named Ying-ying who is dying of cancer. We see much of this movie through Mun's eyes, so we are also frightened by all the strangeness surrounding her. In Chinese and Thai with English subtitles. |
