Negative Positive
Title: Watching with one eye shut
Review: In "The Eye," a remake of a Chinese movie from 2002, Jessica Alba plays a blind woman who gets her sight back thanks to a successful cornea transplant. The only hitch is that with her new eyes - which were donated by a young lady with psychic powers - comes the unasked-for ability to see into the spirit world and predict the future."The Eye" might have been an interesting film had it focused solely on how a once-blind girl learns to adjust to life in a suddenly sighted world. Instead, we're subjected to an inane, gimmicky thriller in which the heroine improbably manages to run across either a dead person or someone doomed to die just about every time she turns a corner.There's no end of point-of-view shots in which ghouls jump out and yell "Boo!" at the audience, but the whole thing is about as scary as a youngster dressed in a bedsheet doing the same thing on Halloween.
