[Sportschosun Jo Ji-young] The suspense thriller film 'The Eyes' (directed by Yeom Ji-ho, produced by Dream Capture) has unveiled character posters and a main trailer that promise intense thrills.
Seo-jin's character poster, released that day, captures her as if she were locked in an inescapable struggle, conveying the appeal of the suspense thriller genre in a single image. The poster is paired with the line, "We have to find the killer quickly, before I can’t see anymore," adding to the sense of pressure and desperation. It heightens curiosity not only about the character, but also about Shin Min-a's striking transformation in the role.
Do-hyeok, the detective in charge of Seoin's death case, is shown in a highly agitated state in his character poster, drawing attention. The image captures a moment of fierce physical struggle, raising questions about the incident that caused the usually calm Do-hyeok to lose his composure. It also builds anticipation for Kim Nam-hee's fearless performance.
Hyunmin, the model obsessed with Seo-jin, gives off a cold and unsettling presence through his poster, which reflects his relentless madness. The added line, "The fact that my sister takes such good photos of me is definitely love," makes the image even more chilling and deepens curiosity about what consequences his obsession will bring. Mikyung, the detective assigned to protect Seo-jin, appears in a poster in which her attention is completely seized by something hanging high above. That image further amplifies the appeal of the suspense thriller genre. It also raises questions about the presence that instantly unsettled a veteran detective, while the line, "For now, it would be best to meet us as soon as possible. Where are you now?" fuels the imagination with a tense and dangerous situation.
The main trailer builds tension from the opening scenes, showing events surrounding Seoin's death through Seo-jin's increasingly blurred vision.
The trailer also introduces Mikyung, who tells Seo-jin that her sister's death is likely a suicide, and Do-hyeok, who tries to confirm the relationship between the two twins after they had recently grown apart. Their appearance heightens curiosity about the film's unpredictable direction.
A mysterious figure watching Seo-jin's home in the middle of the night adds another layer of unease, while Seo-jin's breathless, frightened breathing pushes the genre's tension even higher. The "threat that grows closer as Seo-jin's vision blurs" raises expectations for how the "truth more frightening than darkness" will surface. As Seo-jin's determination to find the killer before she can no longer see creates ripples around the mysterious case, the main trailer, which strings together near-crisis moments like a montage, makes viewers even more eager for the film's unpredictable thrills.
'The Eyes' tells the story of a protagonist who is gradually losing her sight to a hereditary disease and comes face to face with the truth while investigating the suspicious death of her twin sister. Shin Min-a, Kim Nam-hee, Lee Seung-ryong, and Kim Young-ah star in the film, which is directed by Yeom Ji-ho of 'The Neighbor.' It is set to open on the 24th.
