The Eye

Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba), blind since an incident with firecrackers at the age of five, will finally be able to see. She undergoes a cornea transplant, and her vision begins returning. It’s still very blurry, but she’s learning to distinguish the new images. Strange things start happening; Sydney begins having visions. Her therapist, Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) believes that the visions are a part of the therapy process, just a way for her brain to connect to the things she hasn’t been able to see. The visions are frightening images of fire and death. She sees the walls of her bedroom change to stone and back again, and the number 106. Sydney also believes the figures she sees are the ghosts of people around her. She starts to think the visions are of destructive events from the past, so she darkens her apartment and covers her eyes, refusing to see any more. Sydney will soon come to understand that the eye donor was also affected by the visions, and the eyes are possibly showing her more than she realizes.
