ATKBO Review

Two sisters are playing with firecrackers as young children, one of them gets accidentally hit and loses her sight at the age of 5. Now 20 years later that same girl has grown up to became an accomplished classical violinist, her name is Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba). Her sister who was unharmed from the incident insists Sydney undergoes a full corneal transplant in which she agrees too.
Now getting used to having her sight back after the surgery, she starts to think she’s imagining awful occurrences and events all leading to fire and deaths. Confused, yet reassured by her doctor she just needs to get adjusted Sydney continues to see disturbing events and realises its all real.
Believing the answer lies with her donor, she heads to Mexico with her doctor to meet her donor’s mother and revels the truth behind what she is experiencing.

Jessica Alba yet again puts in a dismal performance and one thinks how long one looks alone can keep a career in film. The Super-natural neither scares nor frights the audience and it’s not too hard to think what’s coming next. Probably more suited to DVD.
