Getting an Eye-Full

Throwing a horror movie into the mix.
Next movie up for review is The Eye (not the original, but the remake).

Brief Summary:
Sydney Wells is an accomplished concert violinist who has been blind since a childhood tragedy. Sydney undergoes a double corneal transplant, and her sight is restored. 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.

Random Quote: "I know you're scared. Don't be. 'Cause the world really is beautiful."

My Review:
This is a remake of a Japanese movie that was also called The Eye. Unfortunately, us Americans didn't feel like keeping it in Japan. The hole idea behind the movie is that Jessica Alba's character gets eye transplants from a "bruja" that recently killed herself in Mexico. The donor was able to see death and the ability was transfered over Alba's character during the operation.
It was not scary. At all. Was disappointing to say the least. The actors did well but the plot was not compelling and the previews were misleading.
