Based on a 2004 Thai horror flick, this surprisingly effective Hollywood remake is actually set in Tokyo. That's where newlywed hubby Joshua Jackson has taken bride Rachael Taylor (Transformers) for an ill-advised honeymoon. They hit a woman standing in the middle of a spooky road, after which all sorts of ghosts seem to emerge from Jackson's camera (he's come to Japan for a fashion-photography gig). Can our plucky heroine, a fish out of water in a confusing city, find the answer to this haunted puzzle? Well, yes, but she won't like what she finds. Shutter is distinguished by director Mayasuki Ochiai's compositional eye, which favors the empty, creeped-out spaces in which ghosts might dwell. The movie also gets into the phenomenon of "spirit photography," which suggests that the dear departed make their presence known as white flashes in snapshots. That stuff's kind of fun; unfortunately, Ochiai's ear for dialogue is as clunky as his eye is sharp, and Jackson and Taylor are saddled with some truly unfortunate exposition. The actors don't leave much of an impression either, although Megumi Okina (leading lady of Ju-on: The Grudge) is sufficiently spooky as a woman who will not be ignored. --Robert Horton

This is probably the third worst re-make of an Asian horror movie I have had the unfortunate luck and choice of watching(The first movie I feel was The Ring 2 and the other was The Grudge 2). Another point I like to say is one or two reviewers keep saying how this is a horrible J-horror re-make when an actuality the original is a horror movie from Thailand. This re-make does at least follow most of the original story-plot for the most part and that's probably one of the few things I can think of ... Read More

This movie was so pathetic it's beyond pathetic, entering a stage of ultimate patheticness that could be pooled together to annihilate the entire planet.
There is nothing, NOTHING, scary about the "scary girl" in this movie. Compared to The Ring and The Grudge girl she is really a joke. All the "scary" moments are nothing but cheesy and stupid, and the actors are unlikeable at best. Very VERY formulaic story also.
The only scary thing about this movie is the resulting suicidal ... Read More

After reading some reviews I went out and rented this to see what I thought of it. I think it was ok but could have had a little faster pace to it once you first see this womans ghost. I have to say HELL YEAH to the new wife for leaving her husband after finding out his dark secret in the end tho. Good for her. A definite rent before you buy to make sure your gonna like it before you spend the 20 or 30 dollars.

The only thing worse than reading a book that is 300 pages that should have been 200 pages is watching a movie that is 100 minutes long, that felt like 3 hours long, that should have been 60 minutes long. Wait, there is something worse...trying to watch a HORROR movie an having to sit through two lame pseudo-sex scenes before anything HORROR related even starts to happen. Shutter is based on a good premise gone wrong by trying to translate it for an American audience. I am no fan of all these Asian-remake ... Read More

This isn't a bad picture, it is just not all that original. After all of the Asian influenced pictures and remakes of the past few years, another movie with a creepy Japanese girl just didn't scare me. The woman in the Grudge was much more effective in my opinion. That being said, the acting is fairly solid and the story is okay. A few good moments of creepiness, but no big jumps. Aside from the end of the movie, there are no real deaths either. It is a slightly above average horror movie good for a rent ... Read More
