Acclaimed Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (‘Pan’s Labyrinth’, 2006) has his Guy Pearce / Katie Holmes horror movie ‘Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark’ due out in January 2011, but prior to that a film project he produced is being released: Julia’s Eyes (Los ojos de Julia) has been directed by del Toro protege, Guillem Morales, and stars the talented Spanish actress Belen Rueda – who played the lead in another del Toro-produced film The Orphanage.
Synopsis:
Julia, a woman suffering from a degenerative eye disease, finds her blind twin sister Sara hanged in the basement of her house. Julia decides to investigate what she feels is a murder case, entering a dark world that seems to hide a mysterious presence. As Julia begins to uncover the terrifying truth about her sister’s death, her sight deteriorates further, until a series of unexplained deaths and disappearances cross her path.
Not a lighthearted romp.
