Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central themes of supernatural horror, a personal quest for truth, and individual heroism to prevent tragedy are largely apolitical, focusing on universal human experiences rather than specific political ideologies.
The film incorporates visible diversity through its casting of a non-white lead actress and a significant plot element involving a character of Mexican heritage. However, the narrative primarily focuses on its supernatural horror elements and does not feature explicit critiques of traditional identities or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The protagonist, Sydney Wells, was originally Wong Kar Mun, an East Asian character in the source material (the 2002 Hong Kong film 'The Eye'). In the 2008 American remake, the character is portrayed by Jessica Alba, who is white/Latina. This constitutes a race swap.
The Eye is a supernatural horror film centered on a woman's disturbing visions after an eye transplant. The narrative does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes, resulting in no depiction of queer identity within the story.
The film "The Eye" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its plot centers on a supernatural horror narrative involving a woman's visions after an eye transplant, with no elements related to transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2008 remake of "The Eye" maintains the gender of its core characters (protagonist, doctor, sister, donor) consistent with their portrayals in the 2002 original film. No established character from the source material is depicted with a different gender.
