The Eye
In this spine-tingling modern classic, a blind violinist starts to see terrifying apparitions after her sight is restored by a transplant. Undaunted, she turns detective and traces the donor, hoping to understand her supernatural fate and make peace with the suffering souls who plague her. The wunderkind Pang brothers exploded onto the cinema scene in the early 2000s with this breakthrough horror film, which was both a huge hit and a watershed of the genre. Featuring a riveting breakthrough performance by Angelica Lee, masterful effects and stunning production, The Eye unleashed the Pang’s unique style of nail-biting suspense and existential dread.
