Shutter

This film follows a lot of existing horror / shocker formulas. Unlike most other derivative horror flicks, it succeeds on just about every level. It's not the scariest film on the planet, but its very solid. Two thumbs up. I'm keeping my copy of this for showing to friends. it is easily among the best in the horror collection from Tartan Asia Extreme.

A Movie like "Shutter" really is not at all about being a scary movie. The Movie "Shutter" is about true other worldly phenomena in which "sometimes" take place with certain people who once lived on the earthly plane. After they later leave it, they can get caught in between certain worlds. And by their vast attachments ranging from a myriad of reasons. They can try to hold onto a person who is still living on the earthly human plane of life. Due to hollywood truly not understanding the other realms of being.They unfortunately pervert certain "true-isms" in which leaves the viewer stuck within the interpretation that the movie was/is meant to be just another haunted scary movie genre. This movie was really put together pretty good! It contains alot of realistic proportions/fragments within it. I only give movies like this their props only when deserving. And this one is well worth it! When one has/does go through the appropriate training towards having mystical experiences,From... Read more

I have seen this movie a while back. I must say, from beginning to end, I was at the edge of my seat. The story is very typical Asian Extreme horror like the Grudge and Ju-On but this one has it's own surprises and twists that add to the plotline. The only thing you have to be patient with are reading the subtitles since the movie is from Thailand. It helped that Ananda Everingham's face is on the screen 99% of the time. He is quite a cutie. :o) Watch it, rent it and enjoy it better than the US version.

This movie was one of the best yet. And I have seen a hell of a lot of movies. A couple horror cliches are present but are done so in a way that's not over-the-top (like its American counterpart of the same name) and are very subtle. In short, this was the scariest movie I've seen in my life so far. It's just something about Asian horror movies that make me laugh at the movies they keep churning out here in the states. This movie is awesome and I highly recommend it.

Why oh why does Hollywood keep remaking these remarkably scary Asian horror flicks? I mean, the American version of Ringu was equally scary as the original, but the others deserve an F. Ju-On: The Grudge, Kairo, Gin Gwai, and now this. "Shutter" is an absolutely terrifying experience. The Main Ghost in this movie is as creepy as Sadako from "Ringu". She's THAT scary. The smart scare techniques really work. And I'm really glad that I don't have to watch the American remake (which I heard recieved negative reviews from both critics and audiences). Hell, I'm glad that I don't have to watch ANY of the American remakes (One Missed Call, The Eye, Pulse, Dark Water, etc.) P.S. I keep hearing rumors that Hollywood is continuing on remaking Asian films. Have we really run out of ideas for a "good" Hollywood movie?
