The Eyes Don't Quite Have It

There's always room for one more thriller to slide a chill or two through the cracks around our casements. I'm not sure though that "The Eye" quite does the job. It's not too bad, but it's too much of a re-tread.

It might remind the viewer of any number of 1950's drive-in horror flicks that featured reanimated body parts. There was "The Hand," the "Head," and indeed a host of either transplanted or disembodied eyes with minds of their own. So the idea that a pair of transplanted eyes can see things that their new owner never saw - is an old one.

Then this film also recycles a lot of its special effects from "The Grudge" and "The Ring" - right down to specifics, including a pair of feet levitating behind the person riding on an elevator.

"The Eye" is also somewhat disappointing in that no real chemistry ever develops between the blind woman who receives an eye transplant and the doctor who counsels her after the operation. Although at the end of the film, the two take a dramatic road trip together in order to solve the mystery of the alarming visions that Jessica Alba's character is having - no convincing bond forms between them.

Finally, a volley of what initially sounded to me like pseudo-scientific rationales are delivered to make the premise of this film sound possible. They invoked entanglement and other concepts from quantum physics to make a convincing case that memories can reside in separate body parts. I laughed this off at first. But coincidentally, right after seeing "The Eye," an article appeared in an authoritative scientific magazine explaining that researchers are now coming to believe more literally in "body knowing." In their artificial intelligence departments, they are finding that in order to build effective robots, they have to distribute intelligence throughout all the functioning parts of the robot, rather than centralizing commands in a "brain." They now believe that this distributed intelligence is actually a better model of how humans themselves function. The article concluded that different parts of the body inform the brain with their memories and intelligences, rather than the other way around.

So perhaps "The Eye" does have it after all - or at least some of it.
