Shutter (I) (2008)
6/10
Surprising well-made
1 October 2011
Good story and surprisingly well-made. Suspense built slowly and seemed in hand of competent director and actors. Film was in 3 takes. The introduction, the main play, and surprisingly the post episode was genuinely frightful. There was a moral ending instead of senseless chop-em-up flicks. The cast was perfect. Rachel Taylor was a good actress and very believable as the young wife of photographer Ben. The Japan outdoor scenery were breath-taking. Only complaint - the Japanese women were shown and treated as objects; and the women seemed amendable to playing that role. Maybe that's reflecting the cultural norm in Japan. Otherwise a good movie night if you want enough scares.
