Shruti’s British psychological thriller film ‘The Eye’ had its Indian premiere as the inaugural feature of the 5th Wench Film Festival.
Set against the stunning landscapes of Greece, ‘The Eye’ follows Diana (played by Haasan) as she embarks on a profound journey, scattering her late husband Felix’s ashes on a secluded island. What starts as a means of closure soon entraps her in the eerie and enigmatic ‘Evil Eye’ ritual, spinning an unsettling tale of grief, fate, and the supernatural.
The film, directed by Daphne Schmon and produced by Fingerprint Content, represents Shruti Haasan’s eagerly awaited international debut. The Wench Film Festival, founded by Sapna Bhavnani, is India’s first platform dedicated to horror, sci-fi, and fantasy cinema.
‘The Eye’ provides an intense cinematic experience that keeps the audience on their toes, reaffirming Haasan’s talent in complex, emotionally charged roles.
The film was penned by award-winning writer Emily Carlton and features international star Mark Rowley (Last Kingdom, Rogue Heroes) alongside British actors Anna Savva and Linda Marlowe. The UK trailblazer Melanie Dicks produced it through Fingerprint Content, with Yu-Fai Suen and Jess Hines acting as executive producers.
Discussing the film, Shruti previously mentioned that from the moment she read the script, she felt an immediate connection to it.
“I’ve always been drawn to narratives that delve into love, darkness, and self-discovery, concepts that resonate profoundly with me. ‘The Eye’ gave me the opportunity to explore those emotions on screen, and collaborating with such a talented all-female creative team made it even more special,” she remarked.
