News The Eyes Are the Best Part Monika Kim’s The Eyes Are the Best Part Is Getting a Film Adaptation Actor Greta Lee will write and direct the project. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on July 9, 2025 Monika Kim Photo Credit: Iris Minji Comment 0 Share New Share Monika Kim Photo Credit: Iris Minji Moinka Kim’s debut horror novel, The Eyes Are the Best Part, is getting a feature adaptation from actor Greta Lee, who will also be making her directorial debut with the project and is writing the script. According to Variety, Searchlight Pictures has picked up the adaptation, though no casting news has been announced yet, including whether Kim will also be in front of the camera acting as well as behind it. Here’s a synopsis, per Goodreads: Ji-won’s life tumbles into disarray in the wake of her appa’s extramarital affair and subsequent departure. Her mother, distraught. Her younger sister, hurt and confused. Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, horrifying… yet enticing.In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Salivatingly blue eyes. Eyes the same shape and shade as George’s, who is Umma’s obnoxious new boyfriend. George has already overstayed his welcome in her family’s claustrophobic apartment. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian waitresses while dining out, and acts condescending toward Ji-won and her sister as if he deserves all of Umma’s fawning adoration. No, George doesn’t deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that.For no matter how many victims accumulate around her campus or how many people she must deceive and manipulate, Ji-won’s hunger and her rage deserve to be sate Helen Rhee’s review of The Eyes Are the Best Part for Reactor also had this to say about the story: “If eating fish eyes is supposed to bring you luck, then Jiwon shows us that eating blue human eyes brought power. And it was this reversal of roles and power dynamic between our Asian female main character and the two white men that I thought was, dare I say, quite appetizing.” The project is still in its early days, so no news yet on when we can devour this film (with our eyes, of course).[end-mark] The post Monika Kim’s <i>The Eyes Are the Best Part</i> Is Getting a Film Adaptation appeared first on Reactor.
