I'm so depressed

Previously, Li Xinjie's performance surprised me. Even a person who is not very beautiful can grasp this blind girl to convince the audience so much. If the better-looking Alba can't reach this level, at least she can With this face, so I kept some expectations for the American version of the hell.
But after watching it, I know that the aftermath of the viewing has verified the old saying [the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment]
First of all, the storyline is almost a complete clone. The American version of the horror movie features become nondescript.
And after the corneal transplant, the blind girl's re-cognition of the world, and Alba's weakness in acting suddenly came to the fore, which was unbearable.
The second is that the damn bridge is too bland and tasteless. Personally, I think that not only is the degree of shock to a negative level, but it also makes people disappointed with the connection of the plot. Does the director have the ability to control horror films?
The beginning and end of the film are not as good as the rhythm of the Hong Kong version. The second half of the film almost made me drowsy.

The Eye quotes

    Teen on Skateboard: Oh, shit. Thanks. I didn't see that.

    Sydney Wells: Neither did I.

    Sydney Wells: [voice-over while Sydney walks in the street and settles in a café] People say seeing is believing, but for me, that's not entirely true. I lost my sight when I was five years old. Those memories of what I have seen have faded so much that I doubt I'd even recognize myself anymore. Now I see using my other senses. I can smell the rain before it drops, but I can't watch it fall. I can feel the sun on my face, but I can't see it rise or set. I want to see the world like everyone else, to see the sun, the rain, the music. Oh I bet music looks beautiful.

    Sydney Wells: [voice-over while Sydney is playing the violin] Some say seeing is believing. Now I know what they mean. Ana Christina tried to prevent death, but she ultimately powerless to stop it. Ana and I share both a blessing and a curse. I know now I don't need eyes to see what truly matters. The gift of Ana's sight made me see what I was afraid to. To use that vision to not only save myself and others but to give Ana the peace she never found in life.
