The Eye

The Eye (with Jessica Alba in it and Parker Posey) is an interesting film. It's based on a Chinese language film. Jessica Alba has an eye implant, a cornea implant, and then starts seeing visions, hallucinations, disturbing images. Could it be that she's seeing images that the donor of the eyes saw? It's an interesting premise, and it's not just horror for the sake of horror. There is some genuine warmth in the Story, some genuine virtue, some positive amid the horrific images.

When I rented The Eye I didn't know that Parker Posey was in it. I love that actress, and she deserves every cent she earns, whether she's on a lower budget film or gets the big role in a high budget film.

Jessica Alba reminds me more of a sweet girl from high school. She plays well the role of a victim of horrific hallucinations. I can say that I have goodwill toward Jessica Alba, but for some reason Parker Posey makes me laugh (and smile on the inside) a bit more.
