Eye Awaken	comment	Finally, after deadly fighting and clever tactics, the Serial Killer, monster, alien, or what-have-you is down for the count. The hero turns to leave... and the monster's eye opens. Typically used as part of a The End... Or Is It? ending, but just as often used whenever a hero dismisses a "corpse" as inanimate and either walks off or gets too close. A favorite is to have the hero deliberately get within striking distance to retrieve a weapon or item near or lodged in the creature... only to have their eyes open and arms come up and grab them. Also frequently happens with hands twitching, especially after the coroner's already pulled the sheet over the supposed corpse's head; that goes clear back to Frankenstein. There are several reasons this is incredibly effective across media. We focus on eyes, humans do. They're incredibly important for expressing emotion and the direction of attention. The subtlest of cues can speak volumes for most people. Tiny twitches, voluntary or not, can convey a sudden betrayal or an Unspoken Plan Guarantee. We're primed, by at least a few hundred thousand years of training, to notice one another's eyes and focus on them. In film and television in particular, there's the added bonus that you can spend a minute with your eyes closed and then open them and get the visually dramatic tightening of the pupil. It doesn't even have to convey anything. It's just visually impressive as something we can only now begin to imitate with special effects. It doesn't have to say anything in particular, it just says something. An interesting minor variation involves beings in People Jars or who are frozen moving just once they're out of the hero's field of vision. Combines nicely with Glowing Eyes of Doom and Eye Lights Out. Compare to Finger-Twitching Revival. See also Pivotal Wake-up, and The Eyes Have It for when the eyes belong to something which is not actually alive. Contrast with Dies Wide Shut, which precludes this trope for reasons that should be easy to see. When this happens due to Special Effect Failure revealing that the "corpse" is actually a live actor, that's The Living Dead.

Immediately after comes a close-up shot of Sonic's eye snapping open with newfound determination and crackling with electricity as the power within him is let loose— power that he uses to ultimately defeat Robotnik. Also used in in its sequel, this time as a Sequel Hook: After Dr. Robotnik's defeat, the government sets to work deleting his records, only to stumble upon a project from over 50 years ago he was looking into. As they discuss their findings, a capsule containing a certain black and red hedgehog ascends into view... and then his eyes quickly open with lightning fueled red energy.

Somewhat subverted in that they can't really do anything except blink, and fairly rarely weep blood. Of course, the weeping of blood causes all sorts of horrible things to happen, but the behelits themselves don't do much, besides act as creepy little blinking doorbells.

Played Straight when the female MUTO realizes that the humans are taking off with the nuke that she and her mate were using to nest their offspring, and goes on the attack to get it back and to kill Brody for destroying her nest and killing her babies a few moments earlier. Downplayed at the ending when Godzilla awakens, exhausted from his battle with the MUTOs the other night. Kong: Skull Island: During the climax, shortly after the giant Skullcrawler reaches the surface to attack the human cast, Kong wakes up to battle it, killing Lt. Packard, who attempted to kill Kong for killing his men during their fire bombing of Skull Island. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): Downplayed again when Serizawa sacrifices himself to revive a dying Godzilla with an exploding nuke. Serizawa shares his final moments with Godzilla, who weakly opens his eyes to see who is before him before his incoming revival. Godzilla vs. Kong: An ominous Glowing Mechanical Eyes variation happens whenever Mechagodzilla is activated, often with a close-up on his optics.

Eye Awaken / int_b9bfa3d5	comment	Crank: The end of the movie has a variant. After being injected twice with a poison that will kill him when his adrenaline runs down, being shot, and being dropped a few thousand feet out of a helicopter to land on a car, bounce fifty feet in the air, and smash to the ground, the camera focuses on Chev's open eye. Which blinks. And now we have Crank: High Voltage. The creators mention in the commentary that everything that happens after Chev drinks the "plant shit" drug may not have actually happened, at least not the way the viewer sees it. Given the ridiculous premise of the second movie, this could be them dropping hints, or just giving a secondary interpretation of the more impossible parts of the film and its upcoming sequel. Not to be outdone, the end of Crank: High Voltage features this as well. After a ridiculous final showdown that ends with Chev severely disfigured by burns, Doc Miles manages to reinsert his real heart, but fails to get it pumping. After Chev's friends leave the room in tears, the camera focuses on Chev's face for several seconds, and his charred eyelids snap open.

Eye Awaken / int_de8fbcb1	comment	Godzilla (2014). Twice. Played Straight when the female MUTO realizes that the humans are taking off with the nuke that she and her mate were using to nest their offspring, and goes on the attack to get it back and to kill Brody for destroying her nest and killing her babies a few moments earlier. Downplayed at the ending when Godzilla awakens, exhausted from his battle with the MUTOs the other night.

Eye Awaken / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer During "The Weight of the World," Spike and Xander get in a fight with Doc over information they need on Glory's plans, with Xander managing to knock him down and run him through with a sword. As soon as they leave the room, the audience is treated to a shot of his seemingly dead body... and then his eyes open. Played with in "This Year's Girl". The camera pulls in on Faith, whose eyelids are twitching in REM sleep. Instead of them opening, we're shown various nightmares involving Faith being stalked by and eventually defeating a cold-blooded, knife-wielding Buffy. When Faith emerges triumphant and gives a Skyward Scream, then her eyes open, with Faith all set for her Roaring Rampage of Revenge.

Eye Awaken / int_ec28245c	comment	During the first arc of Dragon Ball Z, Krillin finds Vegeta back on the earth, having being hit with the Spirit Bomb and assumes he's dead. Krillin walks up to him saying he should at least go through the effort of making a grave. Vegeta awakens, and exclaims "For yourselves!", and attacks him. What makes this even better is that Vegeta had one working eye left after Goku shot the other one.

As they turn to leave, Kid Flash says it's all over, and they're finally going home. This is said over a series of panels zooming in on the Anti-Monitor's black, empty eye sockets. In the final panel, the eye has a tiny spark of light within...
