2002 • Hong Kong • Directed by Danny Pang & Oxide Pang

Following their explosive debut Bangkok Dangerous, directorial duo the Pang Brothers would catch the attention of acclaimed producer Peter Ho-Sun Chan, and the three would collaborate on one of the most memorable horror films to come out of Hong Kong, the chilling and poignant The Eye. When blind musician Wong Kar Mun (Angelica Lee) has her eyesight restored following a cornea transplant, she’s initially astounded to discover the beauty of the world around her. Her nascent wonder soon turns to fear as her newfound sight becomes plagued with harrowing and uncanny visions. She confides in her psychiatrist Dr Wah (Lawrence Chou), who believes her body is just adapting to her new corneas. But his scepticism quickly shatters when they realise Wong Kar Mun’s visions are not hallucinations, but grim portents of death. Perfectly balancing otherworldly scares with psychological terror, The Eye is a compelling tale of a woman realising the world around her is more terrifying than she ever knew, memorably carried by Angelica Lee’s award-winning performance.
