This flick has a similar premise to The Sixth Sense, but takes that premise a little further down the road. Mun has been blind since childhood & receives a corneal transplant from an unknown donor, with a few disturbing side-effects. Just a few. I was riveted to the screen throughout most of this movie, not only because I was busy reading subtitles but because I was sucked into what was happening. This is an eerie and creepy movie, and very well done, with a few surprising twists. Highly recommended, for fans of foreign horror films.
