The Eye [Limited Edition]
A compelling tale of a woman
realizing the world around her
is more terrifying than she ever knew.
On April 21, transplant horror reaches new heights as The Eye makes its 4K UHD North American premiere. The Pang Brothers (Bangkok Dangerous) terrified Hong Kong audiences with this chilling tale of a miracle surgery that turns into a waking nightmare. The limited edition release features a brand new 4K restoration by Arrow Films, along with hours of special features and newly commissioned extras.
Wong Kar Mun (Angelica Lee, Re-cycle), blind since childhood, is a gifted classical violinist given a second chance at sight through a cornea transplant. As her vision slowly adjusts, she glimpses a shadowy figure in the hospital guiding the woman in the next bed out of the room. Once discharged, Mun begins seeing mysterious figures others cannot, leaving her to question whether they are hallucinations or something far more supernatural. The Eye was later remade in the United States starring Jessica Alba (Sin City).
Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentations in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); Cantonese DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio and stereo audio; optional English subtitles; a brand new interview with producer Peter Ho-Sun Chan; a brand new visual essay on the film; an archival making-of featurette with interviews with actors Angelica Lee and Lawrence Chou; an archival featurette on directors Danny and Oxide Pang; original theatrical trailers; image gallery; and a collectors' booklet.
