Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Since this is Parker Posey Week here on the blog, I'd like to talk about her new movie, The Eye, also starring Jessica Alba, who was in Sin City, which also starred Clive Owen (see how that works).

Blind since childhood, Sydney Wells, a beautiful young concert violinist (played by Jessica Alba) undergoes a corneal transplant in both eyes, a surgery she has waited her whole life to have. With the help of ophthalmologist Dr. Paul Faulkner (Nivola Alessandro) and her older sister Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney learns to adjust to her new 'sight'. But then she begins to see things -- freaky things. Is this a passing aftermath of her surgery, Sydney's mind adjusting to sight, a product of her imagination, or something horrifyingly real?

As Sydney's family and friends begin to doubt her sanity, Sydney is soon convinced that her anonymous eye donor has somehow opened the door to a terrifying world only she can now see.

This movie is a remake (as is everthing coming out of Hollywood lately), but I haven't seen the original and I have to admit, the story has me intrigued. But what really caught my attention was the poster. There are so many bad ones out there nowadays and this one is very clever and creepy. I'd love to have a book cover like this.
