The city of Mumbai is abuzz with excitement as the highly anticipated British psychological thriller, The Eye, is set to make its India premiere at the 5th Wench Film Festival. Starring the talented Shruti Haasan, this film is the brainchild of director Daphne Schmon and has been produced by the visionary Sapna Bhavnani.
Founded with the purpose of showcasing horror, sci-fi, and fantasy films, the Wench Film Festival will take place from February 27 to March 2, 2025. The Eye, which marks Shruti's international debut as a leading lady, promises to be a spine-chilling and thought-provoking experience for the audience.
The story follows Diana, played by Shruti, as she embarks on a journey to the remote island where her husband Felix tragically drowned. In search of closure, she plans to scatter his ashes in the place he loved most. But her grief soon turns into curiosity when she discovers the existence of a mysterious ritual known as The Eye. This ancient practice is said to have the power to bring back the dead, but at a dark and unsettling cost.
Filmed in the scenic locations of Athens and Corfu, The Eye is a visual treat with a riveting storyline and top-notch production quality. When asked about the film's Indian premiere, Shruti expressed her excitement and shared, "Psychological thrillers have always captivated me. To be a part of a story that delves into human emotions, grief, and the supernatural is truly exhilarating. What makes this project even more special is that it is created under an all-women-led production house, which aligns with my passion for supporting women in the film industry."
She also highlighted the film's focus on sustainable filmmaking and the importance of being mindful of our impact on the environment. "If we want to continue telling our stories, we must do so in a way that is conscious of our actions", she added.
Director Daphne Schmon, who has poured her heart and soul into this project, shared her thoughts on the film and its lead actor. "The Eye is a love letter to Corfu, the island where my family is from, and an exploration of the dark psychological impulses surrounding grief. Shruti Haasan was the perfect choice for the role of Diana, as she flawlessly brings out the character's emotional depth and complexity. Her portrayal of Diana's grief, paranoia, and resilience is truly remarkable and will leave a lasting impact on the audience. It takes an artist of Shruti's caliber to do justice to this role, and she has delivered a stellar performance."
With a strong team of women at the helm, The Eye is not only a gripping thriller but also a testament to the power of women in the film industry. Produced by Fingerprint Content, this film is a must-watch for all fans of the genre. Make sure to mark your calendars for the 5th Wench Film Festival and witness the Indian premiere of The Eye, a masterpiece of storytelling.
