Greta Lee’s directorial debut project

Greta Lee will be lending her vision and screenwriting skills to the serial killer movie The Eyes Are the Best Part. Based on Monika Kim’s psychological horror novel, the Searchlight Pictures‘ adaptation is about a Korean-American college student’s family falling apart. After Ji-won’s father abandons the family after engaging in an affair, her mom’s racist, misogynistic boyfriend leads to Ji-won’s urge to commit acts of violence.

Critics loved Monika Kim’s feminist horror novel. The New York Times commended the book’s “horrific world of murder and cannibalism” as well as its critique of “misogyny, exploring Asian fetishization and stereotypes.”

Jackson House will be producing the psychological horror movie. Their credits include I Wanna Dance With Somebody, The Trial of the Chicago 7, and Molly’s Game. Lulu Wang and Dani Melia will also be producing the project with their collaborations including The Farewell and Expats.
