The Eye (15)
AND here's another remake of a Far Eastern horror, with the twist this time that co-directors David Moreau and Xavier Palud are French.
They've adapted the Hong Kong hit Gin Gwai and changed the tagline from 'What if the reflection you see is not yours?' to 'How can you believe you r eyes when they're not yours'.
Sin City and Fantastic Four star Jessica Alba plays violinist Sydney Wells.
Blind since the age of five, she begins to see things which others can't after undergoing corneal transplant surgery.
As well as there being too many ghosts in her apartment block, there's an inevitable mirror scene and the climax does not compare with Oxide and Danny Pang's 2002 original which has already spawned two sequels.
If you see this when tired you might end up with shuteye.
Also available to buy for £19.99 (Blu-ray £24.99), the DVD extras include deleted scenes and a 'first look' trailer for The Spirit.
