When blind musician Wong Kar Mun has her eyesight restored following a cornea transplant, she’s initially astounded to discover the beauty of the world around her. Her nascent wonder soon turns to fear as her newfound sight becomes plagued with harrowing and uncanny visions.
She confides in her psychiatrist Dr Wah who believes her body is just adapting to her new corneas. But his skepticism quickly shatters when they realize Wong Kar Mun’s visions are not hallucinations, but grim portents of death.
Angelica Lee, Lawrence Chou, and Chutcha Rujinanon star.
Paul Lê wrote in his Horrors Elsewhere column back in 2021, “From smoldering scares including the most suspenseful elevator ride in cinema, to the unhurried and organic character development, The Eye is an all-around achievement in spectral storytelling.”
