A young violinist named Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) who has been blind since she was 5 years of age has a chance to see again through a miraculous corneal transplant.
She thinks it's great that she can see again but yet she is going through dizzy spells especially when there's a welcome back party for her when all her friends talk to her.
She also experiences nightmares on terrifying incidents as well as her room changing colors plus experiences the supernatural world which keeps haunting her as well as her experiencing deadly accidents before they happen as she thinks that she is losing her sanity on all of this.
She tries to go to the aid of Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) to explain to him that the eyes she has are not hers as she sees dead people but he assures her that they are her eyes. But Paul is soon experiencing what Sydney is telling him and to find out who's eyes they belong to as well as save some people before their near death experiences.

 
An impressive start to the story with Sydney Wells walking down the sidewalk and is blind with some strange occurance along with a nice brief jumping moment on a car honking when someone is about to cross without noticing this vehicle and she stops him. This left a perfectly mysterious feel during this moment.
Sydney plays her violin blind which was a nicely drawn in moment and well concentrated with the people around her being impressed.
In the hospital when Sydney is about to have surgery to see if she can bring her eye sight back we spot many nice discussions between Sydney Wells and Alicia Millstone in a hospital room which looked heartwarming and friendly like. All of this looked perfectly natural.
A good conversation between Sydney and a doctor when he tries to test her sight skills as it looked nicely done. Nice blurry camera shots on all of this in which it made me wonder if her sight will fully be back. Lots of powerful situations when I kept watching all of this unravel.
During late at night she leaves her room and spots a figure down the hallway of the hospital which looked spooky along with a near jumping moment while I kept watching this moment as this looked believeably mysterious. During all of this happening, there are good camera shots circling around her as well as a spooky and blurry image of a ghost.
A welcome home party happens for her with good camera shots on many people at a welcome home party which as it psyched me out on her troubled vision when others greet her. I was wondering if she will be okay within all of this.
There's also a good shot on a ghost of a sickly woman in a cafe with vicious eyes staring and talking.
What's really bonechilling is that a mysterious asian boy is in the hallway of her apartment asking if she wants to see his report card. She encounters him in other situations asking the same questions and something deadly happens. A great touch to this horror story.
We spot a good shot on Sydney walking down a street at night as well as a teenage girl walking through her which was a good effect along with the two of them staring at one another carefully. A creepy moment for sure with a tragic moment on this afterwards which looked intense.
Sydney is in a chinses reaturant crying on her cell phone along with good close up shots on a cook dicing up some meat along with fire blowing out of everywhere. This looked incredibly suspenseful especially the cook dicing up meat which made me wonder if he will cause a painful accident in which the camera shots strongly focus on him and what he is doing.
Good shot on Sydney staring through a peephole in her door with smoke around her along with a shot through the peephole on a smoky hallway and suddenly BAM! A surprise shot on a burned hallway man. There's also good smoky shots with Sydney coughing and choking.
A nice strong conversation between Sydney and Dr. Paul Faulkner discussing that she sees dead people and her eyes aren't hers.
While she is in an elevator along with a shot on an elevator ghost with his feet not touching the elevator ground and trying to stalk her which gives a good creepy feel to it. This moment looked dark.
Good shots on Sydney smashing her room lights and closing the drapes to make everything look dark. This made me wonder if she was losing her sanity.
More perfect creepy moments with Sydney looking at her reflection in the mirror and it isn't her as there's a terrifying result when she asks her reflection what she wants and forces to pull her eyelid open which made me cringe.
At the hospital I spotted a good ghostly moment on Alicia speaking to Sydney and walking down the dark hallway in the hospital along with Sydney trying to call to her and run after her.
Nice shots on Sydney climbing down a ladder to a cellar as well as her struggling battle to try and rescue a a woman from hanging herself.
Near the end of the flick there was a great suspenseful moment with Sydney and Paul during a traffic holdup when they try to get everyone out of their vehicles due to what she imagined with an explosion. Now this made me watch in terror in which Sydney tries to rescue a little girl trapped in a trailer with this child's mother unconcious. The explosive effects looked amazing during the tragic moments that was about to occur..
Bottom line: Well this remake of the Hong Kong film Jian Gui is really nothing that spectacular yet there are some neat haunting moments here and there. Although I complimented the situations I do admit that it's half good and half bad. It's neat that a blind woman with new eyes are seeing the supernatural world and the insanity behind it all. It's almost like a cross between the Sixth Sense and Final Destination except those films had alot more class than this one.

The acting is not too bad but not too memorable. We have a nice performance by Jessica Alba (Sydney Wells) putting alot into her role and with her emotions too. She puts alot of energy trying to force it out of her to try and get something out of someone in a certain scene. She focused very well on her eye sight as if she is really hard for seeing. Also does well having panic attacks on what she spots in which she was believeable as if she was going crazy.
Alessandro Nivola (Dr. Paul Faulkner) seemed to pull his part off well too as a serious doctor in the film. He offers a nice outgoing attitude and charming too which was noticeable. Shows off a good versatality when he gets to the point with stuff and showing a no nonsense attitude. Also had the right serious looks and appeal which is a nice plus.
Parker Posey (Helen Wells) wasn't in every scene of the film but seemed to pull off her part nicely as the understanding and sympathetic friend. She shows off some good spunk as well as doing a nice job with her concerned attitude. Plus does well by getting into a discussion and showing off some decent energy.
Child actress Chloe Moretz (Alicia Millstone) brings her charm perfectly as a hospital patient in the film and shows off a good ghostly performance too. Was believeably likeable and convincingly smart. Yes she studied her part very well.

We have some hissing and thumping sound effects to make the film sound truly effective for the haunting moments as well as low rumblings too along with some cold piano playing. Alot of powerful airy classical music to top it all off as well some deep drumbeats all put together by Marco Beltrami

Sydney Wells: I'm seeing things I shouldn't see!

Sydney Wells: I see...
Dr. Paul Faulkner: ...what? Dead people?

Alicia Millstone: I know you're scared. Don't be. 'Cause the world really is beautiful.
