The Eye

The Eye

Who's in it: Jessica Alba, Alessandro Nivola

What's it about: Having been blind since the age of 5, Sydney(Alba) has learned her way around the city using her other 4 senses. However, after a cornea transplant she begins to see things. Things that aren't real. Things that aren't seen by the normal human eye. Things that are dead. Seeing the deaths of people over and over again has her searching for help from her therapist Dr. Faulkner(Nivola). Together they reveal the mysterious life of the woman who had the eyes before her.

What I Think: This was a great performance from Alba. I've never been a huge fan of her, but after this movie I give her more credit. Acting as a blind person is difficult to do, yet she passed with flying colours. The plot of this story was amazingly well played out. I love every second of it. It made me jump at some parts, but never made me scream.
