I love this movie so much

You won't be disappointed!

Good concept, poorly executed.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

A tale of misery and betrayal witnessed in manifolds; A woman agonized by some men returns for revenge and claims the lives that took hers. The film offers several instances that are riveting and startling enough to make you shudder at times, especially teens I guess as most of the people in my theater hall were young adults and cringing. Definitely not those who are more than familiar with predictable Horror sequences and adult audiences who squint their eyes at the thump of abrupt background din, which seems to have become mandatory in chilling scenes these days. But the way the film is presented makes you yawn sporadically a couple of times, or maybe it was just my short 6 hour night nap. None of the deaths are meticulous enough to demand positive reviews, except the climax with Joshua Jackson, in which he doesn't die but becomes deranged. Overall a good performance by Rachel Taylor, but still not sufficient to provide the film an edge-of-the-seat fright tag. Could have been made better. Could have been skipped. 5 out of 10. Right there in the middle.

Shutter is a rather different remake than the usual Japanese to American horror, it has a pace which is just cracking, it's speeds along very fast but smoothly, one thing I dislike is when a film takes too long to get going and it lags but this movie doesn't waste any time in telling the story. American remakes of Asian film can either be really good or really bad, this is a good one, in lots of ways, the first being the excellent central performance by Rachael Taylor, Australia's newest up and comer. This film was made a few years and it was before I knew anything about Rachael Taylor but recently I have seen her in quite a bit of stuff and I have to say she has a great screen presence, she is wonderful in Shutter and pretty much everything else she's in.Josh Jackson is pretty standard as the boyfriend with a bit of a secret, I mean his role could have been played by anyone but yeah he's also pretty good. The story is a cool one which made me google spirit photography afterwards, when horror film come out they have to have something different about them, not enough of them do and they suffer because of it. The story unfolds in a mish mash of photos and horror images and the twists that come out towards the end are ones I didn't see coming.All in all I just found this movie to be far superior to so many others, it just has something the others don't, I can't put my finger on it but it just does. Horror fans should enjoy this a lot and I would recommend it to people who like something a bit different, yes it's pretty tame and could be a lot scarier but it doesn't out stay it's welcome at all. Check it out people, and discover the great actress Miss Taylor.

Stop all the Bashres in the name of god!!I will advise you to take their reviews in a limited way. They are biased by prejudmental expectations about the movie.and now to the REAL review: Well made creepy ghost story - creeped the hell out of me, had a pleasantly interesting unexpected ending.There's no "been there done that" although it's a "Grudge" stile. Scared me all the way - and more and more with every development in the plot.And for The bashers who doesn't like something with Ghosts and remakes? don't watch it please. Let the non prejudges audience enjoy the movie!Again - well made horror movie. See it. 8/10

I was really surprised by this movie because it seemed like the movie would be another Ring type movie because a paranormal spirit would attack the main characters, but it was not. Ben, a photographer, comes to Tokyo Japan for a new life with his wife and the past to brought back when a ghostly presence follow him around. The movie then explains why ghost seem to follow around people who are alive. I love Rachel Taylor in this movie because the ghost is mainly trying to tell her something.She finally finds out what it is and results change the movie. A lot of twist and turns in this movie but the ending is pretty surprising.Enjoy!
