Plot

Violinist Sydney Wells was accidentally blinded by her sister Helen when she was five years old. She submits to a cornea transplantation, and while recovering from the operation, she realizes that she is seeing dead people.

Sinekatalog’s take

A ghost story built on a smart hook: a transplant recipient sees what she should not. A few scares land through sound and shadow, but the remake leans on familiar jump-scare habits. Competent horror for undemanding evenings.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
