PLOT
Julia is a scientist who searches for new planets and stars, but she received the suicide news of her blind twin sister, Sara who hanged herself under the basement of her home. Julia suspects it to be a murder and tries to solve it, she is continuously chased by a mysterious man. But the real problem starts when she too suffers the same degenerative disease of her sister and gradually losing sight. In this surrounding of death, weirdness and blindness she must solve the secrecy behind the mysterious man and her sister’s death.

MY VIEW
“Julia’s Eyes” is a Spanish thriller by Guillem Morales. Anyone will be interested in seeing the name Guillermo Del Toro’s (Pacific Rim, Hell Boy fame) name as producer. Even I expected it to be in the range of other Spanish thrillers like “The invisible guest” and “The body” but it is not as great as others but still a great thriller. There are many indications of predicting the villain character, just like many other movies we will predict someone, and became wrong but on reaching the mid portion of 2nd half we will be able to know the real villain. The movie was able to maintain the thrill until the end, even though I am not satisfied with the climax because it ends with some questions.

VERDICT
Originally planned to be filmed in the English language. Once Guillermo del Toro became involved as a producer and Universal Pictures saw an opportunity to start its first Spanish production, the idea was changed. It can be a good pick for everyone for thriller genres with many rain scenes, dark and scary backgrounds.
