Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) is an accomplished, independent, Los Angeles-based concert violinist. She is also blind, and has been so since a childhood tragedy. As our story opens, Sydney undergoes a double corneal transplant, a surgery she has waited her whole life to have, and her sight is restored. After the surgery, neural ophthalmologist Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) helps Sydney with the difficult adjustment, and with the support of her older sister Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney learns to see again. But Sydney's happiness is short-lived as unexplainable shadowy and frightening images start to haunt her. Are they a passing aftermath of her surgery, Sydney's mind adjusting to sight, a product of her imagination, or something horrifyingly real? As Sydney's family and friends begin to doubt her sanity, Sydney is soon convinced that her anonymous eye donor has somehow opened the door to a terrifying world only she can now see.
This movie was atrocious. I am really starting to hate the American remakes of Japanese horror movies. For every The Grudge or The Ring, there seems to be three or four juicy turds like this bad boy. Unlike the aforementioned movies - this one had no suspense whatsoever and an incredibly dull story that I couldn't have cared less about if I tried. To make matters even worse - Jessica Alba has to be in the top five worst actresses ever. Her lack of acting talent totally annoys me in a normal movie, but when she has to do things like act like a blind person - its just downright excruciating and I wouldn't wish the retinal scarring of this movie on my worst enemy.
This movie is horrid, people. Don't see it . . . . . . . ever . . . . . . seriously. Its total garbage.
