Alternate title? Julia's boobs do seem to get as much attention as her eyes, so why not?
Two sisters, two eyes, two boobs and a film of two halves. Aside from "Sara"s bad wig, the first half is stylish, atmospheric and genuinely intriguing. The second half is an utter disappointment.
The supernatural elements -- Sara talking to an "empty" room, the hand on the shoulder, etc. -- prove to have been an utter con. But worse is that the previously sympathetic, blind heroine then chooses to recuperate from her one chance, once in a lifetime operation alone in the isolated home where her sister and husband had previously betrayed her and died in mysterious circumstances. At that point, it lost all credibility.
And the boobs keep coming. That Julia never bothered to quiz the girl next door early on in proceedings was bonkers. That the killer was the son of the "blind" neighbor was obvious from the get go -- otherwise why bother mentioning the subject. That Julia was still mooning over her feckless, unfaithful husband at the end was preposterous.
Del Toro not only did himself a disservice by lending his name to this, he did the audience one.
