Shutter (I) (2008)
2/10
Tame, lame, and not very scary.
2 October 2014
(13%) A largely subtitle free remake of an Asian horror movie made almost entirely for those too lazy to read. The original was a Thai movie, but for some reason this is set in Japan, but really that's the least of its problems. Storywise this is a decent idea and I'm guessing the original perhaps worked out better, but this is largely overly tame, and for a movie not even 90 mins long it feels very plodding at times, and rather directionless. The two leads are dull characters played by dull performances, and there's a cheap TV movie feel, not to mention some very cheap jump scares and seen it all before "spooky" ghost women. Give this a miss and watch something else.
