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.
