According to our favorite actress, she has turned down “slasher” movie roles before, but she considers The Eye to be several notches above that cynical, money-grabbing genre. Jessica Alba reveals, “It was the most interesting female role I’ve ever read. And it’s certainly not your average, typical horror movie. It’s more about a young woman who is faced with things that she really cannot explain, and who fears that she is losing her mind … A lot of horror movies have girls running away from a guy who is torturing them or kidnapping them. There’s always much more a victim stance when it comes to the female character and it usually involves crying and screaming.”

Jessica Alba further explains, “I found The Eye a far more fascinating and complex scenario. It’s not about gore, it’s about suspense and psychological tension. When I read it, I realised it didn’t need to have people’s body parts being ripped apart, it didn’t need cursing and it didn’t need sex. I thought it was a complete, terrifying experience without those things that would make it an 18-rated movie.” Jessica Alba is certainly right! The Eye is scary but not that violent at all. If you’re from outside US, check your cinemas. The Eye might be showing already! =)
