Julia (Belen Rueda) and her husband, Isaac (Lluis Homar), travel to the home of her twin sister, Sara, who has recently committed suicide. Much like her sister, Julia suffers from a rare degenerative eye disorder that threatens to strike her blind, a disorder that can easily be triggered by extreme stress. Julia becomes convinced that Sara did not commit suicide, but was instead murdered. Against her husband’s wishes she begins to investigate the last few days of her sister’s life, uncovering friends, neighbors and lovers – and possibly, a murderer as well. Julia soon falls victim to a series of disasters, one of which is the lost of her sight. With no where else to go as she recovers from surgery, Julia remains at her sister’s home as the mystery of her sister’s death boils to the surface.

Los ojos de Julia (2010)

It's rare to find a horror movie as bracingly original as this, so see it quickly before the requisite watered-down American remake. Not only is it genuinely unsettling, but it's full of clever nods to horror masterpieces.

Los ojos de Julia (2010)

When her twin commits suicide, Julia (Rueda) finds the official story hard to believe. Her husband (Homar) goes along with her secret investigation, mainly because she's suffering from the same degenerative eyesight that left her sister blind. But Julia sees conspiracies and danger everywhere, all of which is dismissed by the local cop (Orella). Then more people start dying, and Julia continues to have trouble accepting the police's version of events. She finds some comfort from her doctor (Grao) and a hospital aide (Derqui). But the truth is worse than she imagined.

The film is immaculately constructed to put us right into Julia's perspective, seeing everything through shadows, hearing strange noises and catching glimpses of someone pulling the strings behind the scenes. And there's a breathtaking shift in the story's second half that makes this even more enthralling. Like Julia, we want to turn and run away, but we're drawn into danger because we want to know what has really happened. And the final act is a stunner.

Rueda delivers a harrowing central performance with which we can identify at every step. Even when everyone else thinks she's a paranoid nutcase, we know she's telling the truth. Which of course means that we can't trust anyone either, especially as the other actors give wonderfully shaded turns that imply all kinds of subtext and keep us guessing.

Filmmaker Morales has a sure hand, using Hitchcock-style directorial touches to build suspense, twist it and then tighten it until it's almost unbearable. There are inventively direct references to Psycho, Rear Window and Vertigo, with creepy houses, freaky characters and most notably a gleefully jarring approach to light and sound. And it's great to be in the hands of an expert filmmaker who knows how to take us on a genuinely unnerving journey. These aren't cheap scares; they'll keep you on edge even after the cinema lights come up.
Los ojos de Julia (2010)

It’s not often that I find myself yelling at a TV when it’s working perfectly, that’s how good a film this is. Moments of suspense wrapped under an overlying fear of constant dread and enough tender character development to get you more attached to Julia. The ongoing theme of Julia’s Eyes is about vulnerability and trusting in other people to help. A pulse surging horror that had me squirming in my seat and screaming at the television in helpless excitement. Don’t turn away or close your eyes.
