The Eye

The Eye is a 2002 East Asian horror film by the Pang Brothers. The plot concerns itself with a 20 year old girl who has been blind since the age of 2 that recently undergoes a eye transplant to be able to see. At first it "looks" as if all has gone well as the girl is able to see and is happy about it. But then she starts to see things that nobody else can see, the spirits of those who had died and have unfinished business.

At first, the girl doesn't realize that the people she is seeing are not alive. She is not used to seeing so the ghosts seem normal to her. She starts to realize there is something fishy going on when the young boy who keeps asking for his report card is discovered to be dead by the girl. This girl also has been going to a psychiatrist to help her deal with any mental troubles that accompany having the gift of sight after not having it for 18 years. She tells him the stories of seeing the dead people and such other things. The doctor believes her and the 2 travel to check out where the eyes came from to get a better handle on the situation.

They go to the area in Northern Thailand where the eyes came from. The ask the village doctor questions about the type of person the girl was who used to have the eyes. They found out the girls name was Ling and she reported the same type of troubles that are happening now. They go find out where Ling lived and talk to her mother. They find out that Ling had hung herself due to no one in town believing her when she told them about a huge explosion that was going to kill many. And now Lings spirit re-enacts her death every night until her mother forgives her an d comes and saves Mun who this time did the enactment since she was there.

Now that Mun knows the origin of the eyes that she has she travels back home. There is a traffic jam in the street Mun can see many spirits roaming the street, which means that a big catastrophe is close to happening. Mun gets out of the bus and tries to warn all of the drivers and passengers in the cars. Dr. Wah saves Mun from death after the explosion happens but pieces of glass still stab her in the eyes leaving her blind again.

At the end of the movie she chooses not to get a new set of eyes because of what she saw the last time. She just decides to stay blind and keep her love interest Dr. Wah. The special effects in this film were pretty good with the ghosts and things moving and explosions. I got scared a few times due to the sound and creepy images.
