'Give me a B, give me an L, give me a A ... N... D what have you got? the BLAND US remake of the Pang brothers The Eye. I'm not going to bother going on about the plot as its very much a like for like remake, its the kind of dull uneventful crap you get when you turn a pretty average Asian horror into an even more average US one. The first 30-40 minutes come across like a sickness of the week TV movie (you know the ones with ex soap stars coming to terms with colon disorders) . Only real surprise in the whole film is how they managed to make the usually great eye candy Alba ugly. I was expecting it to be dull and it didn't let me down, one to avoid
