Death isn’t always the end of the story in the trailer The Eye.
Not to be confused with the Asian horror favorite of the same name (or its Jessica Alba-starring American remake), this British film looks like a new twist on the Pet Sematary mythos.
The supernatural psychological thriller will be released on Digital and DVD on January 20 via Freestyle Digital Media.
Bollywood star Shruti Haasan (Salaar) plays Diana, a grieving widow whose husband tragically drowned. She returns to the remote island where they once stayed, seeking closure but finding something far more unsettling.
The locals speak of a twisted form of the Evil Eye, a curse unique to the island that demands a soul for a soul. Diana is offered a choice to bring her husband back by ending another life.
As grief and isolation cloud her judgment, strange coincidences make Diana question whether the villagers are hiding something or if her own mind is turning against her. Her suspicion is intensified by a cryptic village elder whose warnings blur the line between superstition and truth.
With reality slipping and the island’s secrets tightening around her, Diana must face the most devastating question of all: how far would you go to bring back the one you love?
Mark Rowley (“The Last Kingdom”) also stars along with Linda Marlowe (Hellraiser: Deader), Anna Savva, Christos Stergioglou (Dogtooth), and Elpida Stathatou.
Daphne Schmon makes her feature directorial debut from a script by Emily Carlton.
“The Eye is a story of love and grief, in the heady atmosphere of 1980s Greece,” said Schmon. “We wanted to explore that disorienting space where grief blurs into fear, where the mind searches for meaning in shadows. In the end, the film reminds us that the hardest truth is also the most liberating one: peace begins only when we stop looking outward for someone to blame and finally turn inward to heal.”
“The psychological thriller genre always fascinates me,” added Haasan. “To be part of a story that dives deep into human emotions, grief, and the supernatural is incredibly exciting. What makes this project even more special is that it was created under an all-women-led production house, which aligns with my passion for supporting women in the film industry.”
