Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) has been given the gift of sight, but it comes with a horrifying price in the English-language remake of Danny and Oxide Pang's The Eye. The double corneal transplant was to open up a new world for Sydney, a concert violinist whose blindness has plagued her since childhood. With the help of Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) and sister Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney's operation and recovery seemed to be on the road to success -- until horrific images start to tear their way into her newfound vision. What's worse is that these episodes appear to foreshadow future deadly events, leading Sydney on a mission to track down the person whose eyes she has inherited and discover what kind of mystery from beyond the grave lies before her. The film is directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud, the duo behind the acclaimed 2006 French terror flick Them, and is produced by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner under their Cruise/Wagner production banner.

from Fort lauderdale, Florida Death is in the Eye of the Beholder.
Jessica Alba enters the Twilight Zone once again in this gothic remake of the 2002 Chinese motion picture written by Danny and Oxide Pang, and Jo Jo Yuet-Chun Hui. Jessica plays Sydney Wells, a beautiful blind violinist, who undergoes surgery to restore her sight, but her newly-restored vision causes her to see horrifying images that are wreaking havoc on her sanity, but is it only her imagination or something horrifyingly real? You heard of the Twilight Zone episode, Dead Man's Shoes? Well, in this case, it's a dead man's eyes that are the centerpiece in this psychological thriller.
